Just came across this project, Mina Protocol, which looks intriguing!
- the entire blockchain is 22kb!!
- every user acts a full node
- layer one protocol
- join as a block producer or snark producer
- 100MB install of Mina to run your own node
The backers are interesting; Coinbase Ventures, Fred Ehrsam, Multicoin Capital, in particular.

There was an opportunity to hear the CEO, Evan Shapiro speak on Friday 19th November at a Tokyo Fintech Group online event.
