How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Nano names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Crypto. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Nano also lists Ripple (XRP), Stellar Lumens, Wise (TransferWise) as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
