The Nym network, based on Loopix, should operational very soon.

NYM's loop detection mechanism is potential form of validation feedback regarding link hops, but may fall short of being rate enforcement and reclocking (nym seems to say that links may not follow rule of fulltime C + W = 100), without that and some form of rate and clock management and enforcement, traffic patterns will still be as observable as a ratboy passing through a snake. NYM seems more generic dev-platformish, MAID-SAFE seems more storage-ish, neither seem to offer an alternative to tor for users to browse the clearnet automagically, ie would require clunky nature of adding edge services similar to false.i2p, perhaps even requiring special new browser clients. The subject thread is more about browsing clearnet, connecting to and using clearnet services, imaginably including cryptocurrency nodes, email, IRC, BT, SSH, VOIP, XMPP, etc. Though any new network that is trying to address traffic analysis would be good to study and or incorporate from into new projects. There are many people selling various privacy boxes, some are VPN's, some are Tor, some are other overlays, etc... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreedomBox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PirateBox https://brax.me/prod/host.php?f=_store&h=rob&p=&version= Like any good Corporation, MaidSafe makes grand, false, and dangerous claims right on its front page... https://safenetwork.tech/ "Total Privacy, Absolute Security." "browse and download completely anonymously" "can’t be shut down, controlled, or censored" "have it stored securely forever" Now what other Corporation has also been quoted and still making the same sort of overall ridiculous and fraudulent claims on its frontpage and elsewhere... oh, that's right, the ... Tor Project Incorporated Tor censorbans people for publicly pointing that out for safety consideration of its users, and Tor refuses to add proper warning caveats to such claims on their pages. Seems the truth must be bad for busine$$.
