## What Is Library Credit (LBRY)?

Library Credit (LBRY) is a platform that seeks to simplify the way digital content is distributed and accessed by both consumers and producers.

Library Credit uses a decentralized model to be fair, free, and open to all the involved parties.

More specifically, the platform functions as a distributed network built on top of a protocol that makes it easy for publishers to charge a fee to content consumers without censorship or the need for a middleman. 

The project was launched towards the end of 2018 and is now serving an active community.


### Who Are the Founders of Library Credit?

Jeremy Kaufman created Library Credit as a content hosting platform without any central authority. 

Aside from LBRY, Kaufman is also the founder of Topscore, a registry system for managing events and activities. He holds a degree certificate in physics and computer science from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Another LBRY co-founder is Alex Grintsvayg. Before Library Credit, Grintsvayg designed and managed system architecture for SaaS companies. At LBRY, he is responsible for technological development and overseeing the firm's infrastructure growth. 

Like Kaufman, Grintsvayg attended the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, from which he graduated with degrees in computer science and psychology. 

Protocol engineer Lex Berezhny is responsible for the backend of crucial components such as the platform's wallets, protocol and blockchain.

Brannon King is a senior blockchain engineer at Library Credit. Before joining LBRY, Brannon created software in such languages as C++ and C#. 


#### What Makes Library Credit Unique?

Library Credit uses the concept of a [decentralized](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/how-decentralized-are-decentralized-networks) and [distributed network](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-distributed-ledger-technology-dlt) (across several host computers) to build a content sharing crypto platform that offers a level playing field for all participants.

It specifically seeks to solve some of the major problems (such as censorship, abuses of user privacy, unfair revenue sharing formula) that affect corporations that offer similar services. 

The revenue generated from content consumers’ activity is fully credited to publishers in their preferred payment method — whether in LBC (the native token) or through third-party processors.

Independent host providers can offer their computers’ processing power to earn a passive income on the platform. This mechanism is expected to make LBRY affordable and appealing to content creators.

#### How Many Library Credit (LBC) Coins Are There in Circulation?

For the first 20 years of the project, one billion (1,000,000,000) LBC tokens are set to be in circulation. However, that figure will decrease gradually on an annual basis, with about a hundred thousand (100,000,000) for the first year.

Additional reduction of the total supply will be incurred through bonus credits reserved for giveaway events, strategically meant to create initial public awareness. 

See the full token allocation details below:



*   10% for partner organizations, charity firms and other strategic institutions. These include the EFF, ACLU and others with a strong reputation in advocating for digital rights, cybersecurity and the Internet's freedom. 
*   20% for awareness programs. This allocation will be freely distributed at the early stage of the project to drive adoption among users. 
*   10% for the team, to cover operational costs and team expenses (human capital management).
*   60% to be earned by the community via various activities, such as LBC mining.


### How Is Library Credit Network Secured?

The network is secured via an end-to-end encryption technology that combines a [blockchain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/why-nobody-can-hack-a-blockchain) model and DHT (distributed hash tables) data structure for encoding and retrieving data in a peer-to-peer exchange.

Additionally, LBRY prioritizes each publisher's intellectual property rights by using a robust record management system.

Additional measures such as hash modification, infringement penalties (defined in the DMCA) and processes that make infringements prohibitively expensive are continuously implemented to prevent other illegal activities. 

To further prohibit intellectual property infringement, users are subjected to laws such as the DMCA.


### Where Can You Buy Library Credit (LBC)?

LBC tokens are a critical component of the LBRY network. As such, the platform cannot operate without sufficient liquidity. 

At the time of writing, LBC is traded against different currency pairs on [exchanges](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/library-credit/) such as:



*   [Upbit](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/upbit/)
*   [CoinEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/coinex/)
*   [Bittrex](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bittrex/)
*   [Hotbit](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/hotbit/)

Handshake is a decentralized permissionless system that is intended to incentivize a distributed network of computers to operate a system for domain name ownership.

Under Handshake, every peer is tasked with validating and managing the root DNS naming zone, with the objective of providing an alternative to current certificate authorities and naming systems.

Different participants across the internet such as social networking handles and domains rely on a centralized approach. This means the systems depend on a system of honesty — and are still prone to cyber attacks and fraud.

Handshake aims to eradicate this problem by creating a decentralized internet that relies on a peer-to-peer system.

Basic Attention Token, or BAT, is the token that powers a new blockchain-based digital advertising platform designed to fairly reward users for their attention, while providing advertisers with a better return on their ad spend.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Basic Attention Token.

This experience is delivered through the Brave Browser, where users can watch privacy-preserving adverts and receive BAT rewards for doing so. On the other hand, advertisers can deliver targeted ads to maximize engagement and cut down losses due to ad fraud and abuse.

The Basic Attention Token itself is the unit of reward in this advertising ecosystem, and is exchanged between advertisers, publishers and users. Advertisers pay for their advertising campaigns in BAT tokens. Out of this budget, a small portion is distributed to advertisers, while 70% is distributed to users — whereas the intermediaries that typically drive up advertising costs are cut out of the equation to improve cost-efficiency.

Basic Attention Token launched in 2017 following one of the fastest sell-out initial coin offerings (ICOs) of all time, with the platform raising a total of $35 million in under a minute. Since then, it has rolled out its attention-based advertising experience to users in most countries through its Brave Rewards program.

As of November 2020, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada had the most active advertising campaigns.

Nimiq is designed to make cryptocurrencies easy to use for everyone without compromising decentralization. Nimiq is the only blockchain where users always participate directly by default. In comparison to the likes of Bitcoin and Ethereum where the default is to use a third-party node to connect to the network. Learn more: https://youtu.be/dA40oyDVtqs

Team Nimiq invented Nimiq OASIS, the DeFi crypto-fiat bridge! Atomic swaps between crypto like NIM and BTC (ETH coming soon) and fiat currencies like EUR (USD next) with no personal information are now possible. Earned swap fees are converted to NIM and held to create scarcity. See how it works: https://youtu.be/Spp_Be4dHaM

Nimiq created Albatross, a new, super fast Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm that will launch with Nimiq 2.0, the next version of the Nimiq Blockchain. We expect ~1000 TPS and finality in one second, pushing Nimiq 2.0 to the theoretical limits of single chain blockchain protocols. Energy consumption will also be reduced to less than 1% (compared to current Nimiq POW) with this upgrade. Try out the demo: https://www.nimiq.com/albatross/

Nimiq’s “super-halving” coming soon! The transition to Nimiq 2.0 will reduce the emission rate from currently ~3000 NIM to only ~525 NIM per minute. Calculate your rewards using the Staking Calculator: https://www.nimiq.com/staking-calculator/

Peercoin, also known as PPC or Peer-to-Peer Coin, was created by Sunny King and his team and launched in August 2012. It is the first blockchain to implement Proof-of-Stake consensus.

The primary inspiration behind the creation of Peercoin was to address a number of perceived shortcomings of Bitcoin, including energy efficiency, security and sustainability, decentralization and long-term viability.

Essentially it was designed as an enhanced replacement for Bitcoin. As such, it was originally forked from Bitcoin and uses the same UTXO style blockchain. However, Peercoin's code was modified to introduce Proof-of-Stake as its primary consensus protocol. The next section explains how this makes for a better blockchain.

Given that Peercoin uses most of the same code, it can easily port new features from Bitcoin and utilize any of the supporting infrastructure, including tech advancements like Taproot or Lightning Network. Peercoin is the only Proof-of-Stake blockchain that uses modern Bitcoin code, making it the perfect drop-in replacement.

Peercoin also has a dedicated community, is actively developed, fairly distributed, has low barriers of participation, can do everything that Bitcoin does, minus the 13 TWh of energy usage, and it's not a scam.

Energi (NRG) is a next generation Proof of Stake (PoS) cryptocurrency. Powered by the Energi blockchain, NRG combines Ethereum smart contract compatibility with a self-funding treasury, decentralized masternode governance, and a Layer 1 and Layer 2 protocol. NRG also serves in place of a governance token for the Energiswap decentralized exchange.
Funded by the NRG treasury, the Energi organization is a blockchain-based financial technology provider. Energi was founded on the goal of delivering secure, decentralized financial solutions. Energi currently employs a team of over 60 contributors spread across 5 continents.

NRG Features
Ethereum-Compatible blockchain with smart contract capabilities to support DApp development.
Funding provided by an economically-optimized, self-funding treasury to enable the upkeep and rapid expansion of the project.
On-Chain Governance driven by a masternode network to guide strategy and provide user protections.
Speed and Scalability delivered by a Layer 1 and Layer 2 network that enables sustainable throughput.

The NRG Economic Model
1 million NRG are released every month and divided between the Energi Treasury, Masternodes, Stakers, and Backbone.
The breakdown of the allocations can be viewed below:
40% to the Energi Treasury
40% to Energi Masternodes
10% to Energi Stakers
10% to the Energi Backbone

TREASURY
Energi’s treasury is self-funded. Funds from the treasury pay for product development, marketing, merchant adoption, and team growth.

MASTERNODES
The primary role of masternodes is to provide stability for the network by validating transactions. Their secondary role is to provide governance by submitting and voting on proposals that dictate the long-term strategy and resource allocation for Energi. Masternode owners are awarded a larger portion of staking rewards as an incentive.

STAKING
Staking enables users to ‘stake’ their NRG on the network; that is, to validate the transactions required to make a new block. Staking creates a simple, easy way for users to take advantage of the Proof of Stake mechanism and get rewarded for doing so.

BACKBONE
Instead of issuing a pre-mine or holding an ICO, Energi’s founder chose to take distributed compensation over time. This ties his financial rewards from the project to Energi’s long-term success and sustainability.

Where Can You Buy NRG?
NRG is available on a number of well-established exchanges. Currently, NRG can be bought, sold, or traded on the following exchanges:

Energiswap
