What cryptocurrencies have Utility beyond being a payment method like Bitcoin?

in #ethereum8 years ago

I am quite new to the cryptocurrency scene. I started becoming interested in cryptocurrency when listening to an Ethereum presentation that explained how they utilize the blockchain to exchange contracts.

What cryptocurrencies have Utility beyond being a payment method like Bitcoin?

BTW this is my first day on Steemit. Happy to be here!

Taiwan #1

Sort:  

Ethereum/Ethereum Classic: Smart Contracts
Ripple/Stellar Lumens: Payment conversion between currencies
Waves: Smart contracts, exchange
Golem: Cloud computing
Steem: Social network
Gnosis: Prediction market (Running on Ethereum)
Augur: Prediction market (Running on Ethereum)
Sia: Cloud storage
BitShares: Exchange, Price-stable pegged smart assets, prediction markets

That's a quick pass through some of them...

Thanks Troglodactyl, very helpful list.
