Zilliqa (ZIL) is a token developed in the year 2017

Image
  Zilliqa is mainly based on the concept of Sharding and primarily aims at improving the scalability of the cryptocurrency networks as in case of Bitcoin or Ethereum. The white paper mentions that the transactions speed would be approximately a thousand times more than that of Ethereum network. Ziliqa is fast, secured and decentralized. Zilliqa’s high throughput means that you can focus on developing your ideas without worrying about network congestion, high transaction fees or security which are the key issues with legacy blockchain platforms. Zilliqa network uses a concept called Sharding where the transactions are grouped into smaller groups and divided among the miners for the parallel transactional verification. Developing smaller groups for transactional verification means the Consensus can be reached faster and hence a higher number of transactions can be processed in a given time frame. The capacity of the network linearly increases in other cryptocurrencies as the number ...

What is Monero?

Image
  Monero (XMR) is the top privacy-centric cryptocurrency based on the CryptoNote protocol, a secure, private and untraceable currency system. Monero uses a special kind of cryptography to ensure that all of its transactions are remain 100% unlinkable and untraceable. In an increasingly transparent world, you can see why something like Monero can become so desirable.Origins of MoneroIn July of 2012, Bytecoin, the first real life implementation of CryptoNote, was launched. While Bytecoin had promise, people noticed that 80% of the coins were already published. So, it was decided that the bytecoin blockchain will be forked and the new coins in the new chain will be called Bitmonero, which is was then renamed Monero, meaning “coin” in Esperanto language. In this new blockchain, a block will be mined and added every two minutes. Why Monero? #1: Unlinkability - Your identity is completely privateYou have complete control over your transactions. You are responsible for your money. Becaus...

Relayers earn TFUEL for every video stream they relay to other users on the network. You can think of Theta Fuel as the "gas" of the protocol. At Mainnet launch on March 15th, TFUEL will be created as a native token on the Theta blockchain.

Theta network is a decentralized video streaming network that is powered by blockchain technology

Image
  Theta network is a decentralized video streaming network that is powered by blockchain technology. Theta allows users to watch video content and get rewarded with tokens as they share their internet bandwidth and computing resources on a peer-to-peer (P2P) basis. Besides a line-up of institutional investors like Node Capital and DHVC, Theta Network is advised by Steve Chen, co-founder of YouTube, and Justin Kan, co-founder of Twitch. The video streaming services on Theta rely on a distributed network of users who voluntarily contribute their spare bandwidth and computing resources to run Theta’s system, in return for Theta Fuel (TFuel) reward.Theta runs on a modified proof-of-stake consensus mechanism as it has a unique multi-Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) which combines a committee of 20-30 Validator nodes with a second later of thousands of Guardian nodes. This acts to speed up approvals and is faster than traditional proof-of-work networks.

The Metamask application includes an integrated service for exchanging Ethereum tokens by aggregating several decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to fi...

Trust Wallet and Token (TWT)

Image
Trust Wallet Trust Wallet is an application that supports Ethereum , ERC20 and ERC223 tokens. Tokens on the Ethereum blockchain can be exchanged for other digital currencies, and the ERC20 standard allows users to interact with other Dapps applications that support the same standard. The app supports about 30,000 tokens. About Trust Wallet: Access to the Trust wallet is stored on the device, so all information is isolated from the Internet, developers and third parties. Users can log in using a code-password, Face ID or Touch ID. The developers believe that the application is quite easy to use. The interface works intuitively, it is fast and easy to understand. When tokens are transferred from one wallet to another, they are automatically displayed after the transaction is completed. If the user buys tokens during the ICO, they can be added through manual search. Trust Wallet is somehow similar to Metamask , but it is safer and has advanced features. The Trust wallet is similar to an e...

According to the developers, the platform has already been developed and is undergoing final testing with real business partners. CTK token The CTK token is used as a utility token to pay for platform services. The CertiK platform introduces a new mining scheme called Proof-of-Proof (PoP). The token is a reward to the miner for the calculations related to the verification of smart contracts .

Proof of Work (PoW)

Image
  In cryptography, the proof-of-work protocol or PoW is a protocol used to prevent cyber attacks such as DDOS and spam. It emerged as an attempt to reduce the effects of these attacks using hash functions. For a user to perform some action, he must be able to prove that he performed some task, this proof is the guarantee that the user spent time to generate an answer that satisfies some requirement of the evaluator. For this system to work, such evidence must be laborious to create, but easily verified by the evaluator. Its initial use was in electronic correspondence, but it was eventually applied to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin  to verify transactions, ensure blockchain  consensus, and mine coins. Proof of Stake (PoS)

Proof of Stake (PoS)

Image
  Proof of Stake (PoS) is a proposed alternative to proof of work ( PoW ). As a proof of work, consensus and avoidance of the double spend problem is provided. Roughly speaking, a node must prove that it has access to a certain amount of coins before being accepted by the network rather than solving some work. Generating a block involves sending coins to yourself, thus proving ownership. The amount of coins needed (target) is specified by the network in a proof-of-work-like tuning process. Among the virtual currencies that use the method, we can mention BlackCoin, NuShares/NuBits, Qora, NEO, which provides GAS tokens to those who hold the currency, Ethereum is in the process of migration and Decred, which has a hybrid system. (PoS and PoW ). Proof of work (PoW)

Bitcoin Cash BCH

Image
  Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin with a protocol upgrade to fix on-chain capacity. Bitcoin Cash intends to be a Bitcoin without Segregated Witness (SegWit) as soft fork, where upgrades of the protocol are done mainly through hard forks and without changing the original economic rules of the Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is released on 1st August 2017 as an upgraded version of the original Bitcoin Core software. The main upgrade is the increase in the block size limit from 1MB to 8MB. This effectively allows miners on the BCH chain to process up to 8 times more payments per second in comparison to Bitcoin. This makes for faster, cheaper transactions and a much smoother user experience.Why was Bitcoin Cash Created?The main objective of Bitcoin Cash is to to bring back the essential qualities of money inherent in the original Bitcoin software.

Cryptocurrency

Image
  A cryptocurrency , crypto-currency, crypto , or coin is a digital currency designed to work as a medium of exchange  through a computer network that is not reliant on any central authority, such as a government or bank, to uphold or maintain it. Individual coin ownership records are stored in a digital ledger, which is a computerized database using strong cryptography to secure transaction records, to control the creation of additional coins, and to verify the transfer of coin ownership. Despite their name, cryptocurrencies are not considered to be currencies in the traditional sense and while varying treatments have been applied to them, including classification as commodities, securities, as well as currencies, cryptocurrencies are generally viewed as a distinct asset class in practice. Some crypto schemes use validators to maintain the cryptocurrency. In a proof-of-stake model , owners put up their tokens as collateral. In return, they get authority over the token in prop...

Altcoins

Image
  Altcoins are alternative cryptocurrencies to Bitcoin. Most altcoins emerged from forks in the Bitcoin source code, in order to modify some internal parameters of the Bitcoin network or add new features, depending on the purpose of each altcoin.

What Are Crypto Tokens?

Image
The term crypto token refers to a special virtual currency token or how cryptocurrencies are denominated. These tokens represent fungible and tradable assets or utilities that reside on their own blockchains . Crypto tokens are often used to fundraise for crowd sales, but they can also serve as a substitute for other things. These tokens are usually created, distributed, sold, and circulated through the standard initial coin offering (ICO) process, which involves a crowdfunding exercise to fund project development. Definition Technically, “token” is just another word for “cryptocurrency” or “cryptoasset.” But increasingly it has taken on a couple of more specific meanings depending on context. The first is to describe all cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin and Ethereum (even though they are technically also tokens). The second is to describe certain digital assets that run on top of another cryptocurrencies’ blockchain, as many decentralized finance (or DeFi) tokens do. Tokens have a h...

What Is Bitcoin Mining?

Image
Bitcoin mining is the process of creating new bitcoin by solving puzzles. It consists of computing systems equipped with specialized chips competing to solve mathematical puzzles. The first bitcoin miner (as these systems are called) to solve the puzzle is rewarded with bitcoin. The mining process also confirms transactions on the cryptocurrency's network and makes them trustworthy.  For a short time after Bitcoin was launched, it was mined on desktop computers with regular central processing units (CPUs). But the process was extremely slow. Now the cryptocurrency is generated using large mining pools spread across many geographies. Bitcoin miners aggregate mining systems that consume massive amounts of electricity to mine the cryptocurrency.  In regions where electricity is generated using fossil fuels, bitcoin mining is considered detrimental to the environment. As a result, many bitcoin miners have moved operations to places with renewable sources of energy to reduce Bitcoi...
