According to me these are some of the good Open Source Blockchains to track:

Ethereum (Obviously)
DASH
Monero
NEM
Stratis

Additionally, you can find a bunch of blockchain based projects on GitHub. I have invited George and Luke to answer this question. Please add any other important blockchains that are good for dev and learning. :)

Thanks for the question!

Thanks Daniel, these are all good examples to learn about blockchains. However, I was thinking more in terms of open source projects where developers can create their own chains as part of the learning process.

One that I have found is multichain.com There are also some Javascript projects around too.

It might be an interesting project, to create a basic blockchain platform based on {insert programming language of choice}.

First of all I would like to recommend you to check out source code of Bitcoin and Litecoin.

Bitcoin - Because it is the starting point of all the cryptocurrencies.

Litecoin - The code quality is really high

Definitely there are a lot of better project than Bitcoin and Litecoin, but these two are the best examples.

If you would like to start writing ÐApps (Decentralized Applications), best way is to learn Solidity and use Truffle with it.
