Several tokens have been on everyone’s watchlist these days, to guess the effect of the mainnet launch on the market price. But also, after each of those prominent projects built its proprietary blockchain, the expectations are for fast-paced growth, and the appearance of speedy distributed apps for everyday use.

There are a handful of projects that will upgrade from their current token status, and add features and their own form of smart contracts. The reason for delayed mainnet launch was the desire to quickly go through the fundraising.
But the most prominent launches are coming fast, with big promises:
TRON, 31 May 2018: The mainnet launch is having a marked effect on the TRX market price in the past few days.
What will change with owning the new tokens: token holders will have voting rights and elect Super Delegates to secure the network.
What has to be done ahead of time: send TRX tokens to exchanges, which will take care of the balances. Withdraw to the new TRON wallet.
EOS, June 2, 2018: The release of the Eosio distributed operating system will follow the mainnet launch. A vote for block producers will follow soon afterwards.
What will change: EOS tokens will have voting rights. Also, the development of distributed apps is expected.
What has to be done: register EOS balances on the official site, or send the ERC-20 tokens to Binance or another exchange that would credit the new balances.
VeChain, June 30: VeChain walked a long path to achieving the double-token reward model. By March 20, the tokens for various types of nodes, including starter nodes, were locked down.
What will change: VeChain holders will see their assets multiply, receiving 100 new assets for each VEN old token. This is for the purposes of more intuitive accounting.
What has to be done: A snapshot of the Ethereum network was already performed. All that is needed is to wait. For smaller balances, exchanges would credit the new asset.
Ontology, Details Unknown: Recently, Ontology launched a code pre-release of its main network. So far, no details have been given on how the balances will be credited.

What is known is that current ONT holders will double their balance when the mainnet launch finally arrives.
There are also smaller projects launching soon, with their various requirements and benefits:

Among the more widely awaited are Cardano (ADA). Others, like Augur (REP) would remain Ethereum-based, but their app would be launched live on the Ethereum mainnet.
