OrbitDB is a serverless, distributed, peer-to-peer database. OrbitDB uses IPFS as its data storage and IPFS Pubsub to automatically sync databases with peers. It's an eventually consistent database that uses CRDTs for conflict-free database merges making OrbitDB an excellent choice for decentralized apps (dApps), blockchain applications and offline-first web applications.
 
OrbitDB provides various types of databases for different data models and use cases:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#orbitdblognameaddress" target="_blank">log</a>: an immutable (append-only) log with traversable history. Useful for "latest N" use cases or as a message queue.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#orbitdbfeednameaddress" target="_blank">feed</a>: a mutable log with traversable history. Entries can be added and removed. Useful for "shopping cart" type of use cases, or for example as a feed of blog posts or "tweets".</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#orbitdbkeyvaluenameaddress" target="_blank">keyvalue</a>: a key-value database just like your favourite key-value database.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#orbitdbdocsnameaddress-options" target="_blank">docs</a>: a document database to which JSON documents can be stored and indexed by a specified key. Useful for building search indices or version controlling documents and data.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db/blob/master/API.md#orbitdbcounternameaddress" target="_blank">counter</a>: Useful for counting events separate from log/feed data.</li>
</ul>

Yjs is a modular building blocks for building collaborative applications like Google Docs and Figma. Yjs is a high-performance CRDT for building collaborative applications that sync automatically. It exposes its internal CRDT model as shared data types that can be manipulated concurrently. Shared types are similar to common data types like Map and Array. They can be manipulated, fire events when changes happen, and automatically merge without merge conflicts.

Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. Bitcoin and most cryptocurrencies expose your entire payment history to the public. Zcash is the first open, permissionless cryptocurrency that can fully protect the privacy of transactions using zero-knowledge cryptography.
 
 Zcash also enables users to send public payments which work similarly to Bitcoin. With the support for both shielded and transparent addresses, users can choose to send Zcash privately or publicly. Zcash payments sent from a shielded address to a transparent address reveal the received balance, while payments from a transparent address to a shielded address protect the receiving value.

LBRY is a protocol that provides a fully decentralized network for the discovery, distribution, and payment of data. It utilizes the LBRY blockchain as a global namespace and database of digital content. Blockchain entries contain searchable content metadata, identities, and rights and access rules. It also provides a data network consists of peers uploading and downloading data from other peers, possibly in exchange for payments, and a distributed hash table, used by peers to discover other peers.
 
LBRY is a free, open, and community-run digital marketplace. You own your data. You control the network. Indeed, you are the network.

PeerTube is a decentralized video streaming platform using P2P (BitTorrent) directly in the web browser with WebTorrent. It is difficult to build a FOSS video streaming alternatives to YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo... with a centralized software. One organization alone cannot have enough money to pay bandwidth and video storage of its server. So there is a need of decentralized network (as Diaspora for example). But it's not enough because one video could become famous and overload the server. It's the reason why P2P protocol is used to limit the server load.

Gridcoin is a POS-based cryptocurrency that rewards users for participating on the BOINC network. Gridcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions, issuing money and contributing to scientific research are carried out collectively by the network. 
 
 BOINC is an open-source volunteer computing grid which combines the processing power of all individual users for the purposes of scientific research. It's free, production ready and many projects already harness volunteered computing power to attempt to cure cancer/AIDS/Ebola/malaria, map the Milky Way galaxy, crack Enigma machine codes, etc..
