current projects that are not vapourware and have huge updates coming up are Blocknet and Bitbay. Both could X10 before xmas
i agree with these but need to elaborate . .
Bitbay = implementing a rolling peg like Thether but better as it can increase in value whist pegged
Blocknet = 1st true decentrailsed exchange with atomic swap currently in testing
there are others like Edgeless and neo too
