## ما هي Nano (NANO)؟

إنّ Nano عملة مشفرة خفيفة الوزن مصممة لتسهيل عمليات الدفع الآمنة والفورية عمليًا، بدون رسوم، وصفت بأنها "نقود رقمية للعالم الحديث"، حيث تعالج بعض القيود الرئيسية لكل من البنية التحتية المالية القديمة والعديد من العملات المشفرة الحديثة.

بدأ تطوير المشروع في عام 2014 تحت اسم RaiBlocks، وتم إطلاق العملة (التي كانت تسمى آنذاك XRB) في العام التالي من خلال صنبور (faucet) عام، مما سمح للمستخدمين بالمطالبة بكميات صغيرة من XRB بعد الانتهاء من اختبار captcha. تم السماح للمستخدمين بإكمال أكبر عدد ممكن من رموز التحقق (captcha) كما يرغبون — لتداول وقتهم وجهدهم بشكلٍ فعال مع XRB.

تم تغيير اسم RaiBlocks (XRB) إلى Nano (NANO) في يناير 2018، حيث يُمثل الاسم الجديد السرعة والبساطة التي يوفرها المشروع للمستخدمين بشكلٍ أفضل.

إنها منصة ند لند تستخدم بنية بيانات كتلة فريدة للسماح للمستخدمين بنقل القيمة بسهولة إلى بعضهم البعض دون الاعتماد على الوسطاء المركزيين.

وعلى عكس الأنظمة الأساسية الأخرى التي تستخدم عادةً إثبات العمل المشترك لشبكة تعدين ضخمة لتحقيق الإجماع، تستخدم Nano نظامًا يُعرف باسم تصويت الممثل المفتوح (ORV) — والذي يمنح أصحاب الحسابات حق التصويت لممثلهم المختار، والذين يعمل بعد ذلك على تأكيد كتل المعاملات بشكلٍ آمن.

يجعل نظام ORV شبكة Nano فعالة للغاية في استخدام الطاقة، مما يجعلها بديلاً أكثر صداقة للبيئة [للعملات المشفرة](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-cryptocurrencies) القائمة على [إثبات العمل](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) (POW).

### من هم مُؤسسو Nano؟

تم تأسيس Nano بواسطة كولين ليماهيو، مطور ومهندس برمجيات ذو خبرة كبيرة في العمل لشركات التكنولوجيا البارزة، بما في ذلك Dell و AMD و Qualcomm.

يصف ليماهيو نفسه بأنه مخترع، حيث تتراوح اهتماماته من تكنولوجيا الفضاء إلى الفيزياء والاستدامة البيئية، وهو موضوع شائع في مجال العملات الرقمية. بدأ ليماهيو العمل بدوام كامل في Nano في عام 2017 ولا يزال الرئيس التنفيذي لمؤسسة Nano — وهي منظمة تم إنشاؤها لقيادة تطوير وتبني Nano — إلى يومنا هذا.

ساهم كولين ليماهيو أيضًا في إضافة الغالبية العظمى من الالتزامات إلى مستودع Nano's في GitHub.

فضلاً ع ليماهيو ، تضم مؤسسة Nano أكثر من عشرة موظفين آخرين، بما في ذلك جورج كوكسون، خريج الأنثروبولوجيا التطورية ومدير حسابات ذو خبرة، ويشغل منصب رئيس العمليات الحالي للمؤسسة.

### ما الذي يُميز Nano؟

فكما تطرقنا سابقًا، تم تصميم Nano لتكون سريعة. إنها سريعة إلى درجة تصل فيها معظم معاملات Nano إلى نهائية مطلقة في أقل من ثانية — مقارنة بعدة دقائق أو حتى أطول للعديد من العملات المشفرة الرئيسية الأخرى.

تجعل هذه السرعة Nano مناسبةً للدفعات التجارية، فلن يقلق التجار وتجار التجزئة بعد الآن بشأن تأخير المعاملات عند قبول المدفوعات.

كما أن معاملات Nano مجانية. ونظرًا لأن الممثلين لا يتلقون تعويضًا ماليًا عن جهودهم لتأمين الشبكة، فلا داعي لدفع رسوم المعاملات. مما يجعل Nano حلاً مثاليًا لمعالجة المعاملات الصغيرة، فلن يقلق المستخدمون بعد الآن بشأن مواجهة رسوم معاملات باهظة الثمن عند إجراء مدفوعات صغيرة.

تُتيح هندسة المشروع الفريدة هذه الخصائص. على عكس العديد من العملات المشفرة التي يتم إنشاؤها فوق دفتر الأستاذ الموزع المعروف [بسلسلة الكتل](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain)، تم بناء Nano حول تقنية دفتر الأستاذ المماثلة والتي تُسمى الرسم البياني غير الدوري الموجه (DAG).

إنّ هذا الهيكل موثوق للغاية حيث يسمح لشبكة Nano بمعالجة ما يصل إلى 1000 معاملة في الثانية (tps) — دون الحاجة إلى شبكة تعدين كثيفة الطاقة للحفاظ على سلامتها، الأمر الذي يجعل Nano خيار دفع رقمي صديق للبيئة.

### كم عدد عملات Nano (NANO) المتداولة؟

مثل الغالبية العظمى من العملات المشفرة، تمتلك Nano حدًا أقصى ثابتًا لعدد الرموز التي سيتم إنتاجها، حيث تم تعيين هذا الرقم بالضبط عند 133,248,290 رمز NANO.

تم تعيين العرض الأقصى الأصلي للإمداد أعلى بكثير من هذا، ولكن تم حرق أي رموز NANO متبقية أعلى من الحد الحالي الدائم والبالغ 133 مليون. إجمالاً، تم توزيع ما يقارب 39% من العرض الأولي.

كون العرض الكلي لشبكة Nano قيد التداول أمر غير معتاد، الأمر الذي يعني أن العرض تم تخفيفه بالكامل.

ونظرًا لكونها مخففة بالكامل، فإن Nano لها طبيعة لامركزية للغاية وموزعة بشكل جيد، حيث تمتلك الغالبية العظمى من حسابات Nano أقل من 100 رمز NANO. اعتبارًا من ديسمبر 2020، يتم الاحتفاظ بحوالي 20% من جميع رموز Nano المتداولة (حوالي 26 مليونًا) في إحدى المحافظ الباردة المرتبطة بمنصة تداول العملات المشفرة Binance.

تم حجز ما مجموعه 5% من العرض المتداول من أجل التطوير المستمر للمشروع، وقد تم تخصيص ذلك لما يسمى "صندوق المطور".

### كيف يتم تأمين شبكة Nano؟

يتم تأمين Nano من خلال شبكة من الممثلين، يتم التصويت على كل منهم من قبل حاملي رموز NANO.

هؤلاء الممثلون مسؤولون عن الإدلاء بأصواتهم عندما تحتاج الشبكة إلى تحقيق [الإجماع](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus)، وتكون قوتهم التصويتية هي مجموع وزن التصويت المفوض لهم من قبل حاملي NANO. حيث يقوم هؤلاء بالتصويت على صحة المعاملات على شبكة Nano، مما يضمن تأكيد المعاملات الصالحة فقط.

تحمي هذه العملية الشبكة من هجوم يُعرف بالإنفاق المزدوج — والذي يحدث عندما يكون المهاجم قادرًا على التلاعب بالشبكة لإنفاق نفس الأموال بشكل فعال مرتين.

إضافة إلى ذلك، تتميز شبكة Nano بمجموعة واسعة من الدفاعات الإضافية ضد مختلف الهجمات المحتملة — لإيجاد نظرة شاملة بهذا الخصوص من [هنا](https://docs.nano.org/protocol-design/attack-vectors/).

### أين يُمكنك شراء Nano (NANO)؟

ولأنه لا يمكن تعدين Nano، فإن الطريقة الأكثر شيوعًا للحصول عليها هي شرائها من أكثر من 50 منصة تداول تدعمها. إنّ [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/binance/) و [OKEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/okex/) و [Huobi Global](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/exchanges/huobi-global/) من أكثر منصات التداول شيوعًا حاليًا بالنسبة لأزواج تداول العملات المشفرة و Nano، في حين يمكن أيضًا شراؤها باستخدام العملات الورقية على Kraken و Binance.US.

Enjin Coin is a project of Enjin, a company that provides an ecosystem of interconnected, blockchain-based gaming products. Enjin's flagship offering is the Enjin Network, a social gaming platform through which users can create websites and clans, chat, and host virtual item stores.

Enjin allows game developers to tokenize in-game items on the Ethereum blockchain. It uses Enjin Coin, an ERC-20 token, to back the digital assets issued using its platform, meaning that items can be bought, sold and traded with real-world value.

Enjin Coin was first announced in July 2017, and it launched on the Ethereum mainnet in June 2018.

Enjin Coin (ENJ) is a digital store of value used to back the value of blockchain assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Every asset minted with the Enjin Platform contains ENJ, a minting resource which is locked inside NFTs and removed from circulation. Minting blockchain assets with ENJ provides a variety of benefits to creators and users:

Infuses them with a reserve value

Ensures their transparency and scarcity

Gives them instant liquidity

Provides utility in games and apps

Anti-inflationary

Enjin's "melting" functionality allows users to destroy their blockchain assets at any time to retrieve the ENJ value from within.

The Enjin blockchain ecosystem aims to offer software products that make it easy for everyone to develop, trade, monetize, and market with blockchain.

Founded in 2009, Enjin has roots in the gaming industry, with the company’s first product, a gaming community platform called the Enjin Network, growing to 20 million users over the course of a decade.

In 2017 following an ICO, Enjin established itself as a leading blockchain ecosystem developer, building a suite of software products that enable anyone to easily mint, manage, trade, distribute, and integrate blockchain assets.

Enjin’s co-founder Witek Radomski wrote the code for one of the first ever non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and is also the co-author of the ERC-1155 Ethereum token standard.

Built on top of an on-chain infrastructure, the Enjin ecosystem enables game developers and businesses of all sizes to use tokenized digital assets as part of their acquisition, retention, engagement, and monetization strategies. The Enjin ecosystem is fueled by Enjin Coin (ENJ), a cryptocurrency used to back the value of blockchain assets.

Starting as an open-source project in 2017, IoTeX has built a decentralized platform whose aim is to empower the open economics for machines — an open ecosystem where people and machines can interact with guaranteed trust, free will, and under properly designed economic incentives.

With a global team of over 40 research scientists and engineers, IoTeX has built their EVM-compatible blockchain from scratch using the innovative Roll-DPoS consensus and launched in 2019 April, which has been running by 100+ delegates worldwide and has processed more than 10 million transactions already. On top of the IoTeX blockchain, the team has built the essential blocks of infrastructures to connect with Ethereum, BSC, and Heco blockchains such as ioPay wallet (https://iopay.me/) and ioTube bridge (https://iotube.org/), which serve ten thousands of users. IoTeX helps EVM-based DApps scale without concerning expensive gas fees!

Besides, middleware such as Decentralized Identity, Confidential Computing, and Secure Hardware has been built on top of the IoTeX blockchain. This has enabled the creation of self-sovereign devices such as Ucam, and real-world data oracles like Pebble. Ucam (https://ucam.iotex.io/) has been deployed to over 3000 households (http://iott.network/). Meanwhile, Pebble has been launched to more than 300 developers initially, and enables innovative Dapps to connect the physical world with the crypto world, such as real-world NFTs, weather derivatives and machine learning-as-mining.

Covalent leverages big-data technologies to create meaning from hundreds of billions of data points, delivering actionable insights to investors and allowing developers to allocate resources to higher-utility goals within their organization.

Instead of painstakingly sourcing data from a small handful of chains, Covalent aggregates information from across dozens of sources including nodes, chains and data feeds. The Covalent API then sources end-users with individualized data by wallet, including current and historical investment performance across all types of digital assets. Most importantly, Covalent returns this data in a rapid and consistent manner, incorporating all relevant data within one API interface.

Having achieved product-market fit, we are now planning to execute the next phase of Covalent, which is a progressive decentralization that will enable the Covalent Network to be owned and operated by its users. Of course, a critical piece to this is CQT.

CQT is the native token of the Covalent Network. It has three primary purposes:

CQT is a governance token, whereby token holders vote on proposals to change the system parameters.

CQT is a staking asset. Validators will earn fees for answering queries.

CQT is a network access token that fulfills data queries for users of the API.

Developer resources include:

Covalent Knowledge Base for extensive guides on how to use the Covalent API. 

Covalent API Documentation.

Synthetix is building a decentralized liquidity provisioning protocol that any protocol can tap into for various purposes. Its deep liquidity and low fees serve as a backend for many exciting protocols on both Optimism and Ethereum. Many user-facing protocols in the Synthetix ecosystem, such as Kwenta (Spot and Futures), Lyra (Options), Polynomial (Automated Options), and 1inch & Curve (Atomic Swaps), tap into Synthetix liquidity to power their protocols. Synthetix is built on Optimism and Ethereum mainnet. The Synthetix Network is collateralized by SNX, ETH, and LUSD, enabling the issuance of synthetic assets (Synths). Synths track and provide returns on the underlying asset without requiring one to directly hold the asset. This pooled collateral enables an array of on-chain, composable financial instruments backed by liquidity from Synthetix. Some of the most exciting upcoming releases from SNX are Perps V2, which hopes to enable low-fee on-chain futures trading through the usage of off-chain oracles, and Synthetix V3, which aims to rebuild the protocol to achieve its earliest goal, being a fully permissionless derivatives protocol. Learn more about Synthetix on their blog or by joining the SNX Discord.

The platform aims to broaden the cryptocurrency space by introducing non-blockchain assets, providing access to a more robust financial market.

Qtum (pronounced ‘“quantum”)  is a proof-of-stake (PoS) smart contract open-source blockchain platform and value transfer protocol. It aims to bring together the strengths of Bitcoinand Ethereumin one chain. Qtum is built on Bitcoin's UTXO transaction model, with the added functionality of smart contract execution and DApps. Recently, the platform added support for DeFi applications. As of March 2021, there are more than 20 tokens created on the Qtum blockchain.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Qtum.

The project was announced in March 2016 and held an ICO a year after, in March 2017, which brought its founders $15 million USD. The Qtum main chain was released on Sept.13, 2017. Initially, the Qtum coin was issued as a ETH-20 token, but with the launch of the mainnet, it was converted to native blockchain.

Qtum

Pancakeswap was originally built on the BNB Chain and allows users to trade tokens without using a centralized exchange. It provides an array of products, such as:

An exchange to swap tokens

A yield farm to earn rewards

Syrup pools to stake CAKE tokens

Ethereum liquid staking (wBETH) and simple staking

Pancake Protectors game

v3 position manager (new feature)

A prediction market

Initial Farm Offering (IFO) token launches

A bridge to bridge CAKE to Ethereum and Aptos

A lottery

An NFT marketplace

Pancakeswap innovates quickly and ships new products regularly. In April 2023, PancakeSwap voted to transition to a deflationary token model called "Ultrasound CAKE." The protocol passed a proposal called CAKE Tokenomics v2.5 to create a structure combining real yield (no supply impact) and reduced token emissions. Over 102% of minted CAKE is burned weekly. This is intended to provide a multi-year runway for emissions and incentivize locking up CAKE, making the token more valuable long-term.

PancakeSwap has an anonymous team of “Chefs,” working in the PancakeSwap “Kitchen.” The platform is open-source and has been audited by multiple reputable blockchain security firms like Peckshield and Slowmist.

Although the bear market has impacted TVL and trading volume for the protocol, PancakeSwap still boasts an annualized revenue of $27 million, with 42% of CAKE is staked:

Ontology is a project designed to bring trust, privacy, and security to Web3 through decentralized identity and data solutions. It is building the infrastructure to provide trusted access to Web3, allowing individuals and enterprises to rest assured that through regulatory compliant digital identity solutions, users and their privacy come first.

The Ontology blockchain is a high speed, low cost public blockchain. It is designed to bring decentralized identity and data solutions to Web3, with the goal of increasing privacy, transparency, and trust. To achieve this, users and enterprises are provided with the flexibility to build blockchain-based solutions that suit their needs, while also ensuring regulatory compliance. Through Ontology’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Ontology ensures frictionless compatibility with Ethereum, the first step in the creation of the Ontology Multi-Virtual Machine and further interoperability for the chain.

At its launch, Ontology chose to forego the popular initial coin offering (ICO) model in favor of a series of community distributions and airdrops of its ONT cryptocurrency.

This helped to quickly establish both organic price discovery and a passionate community and helped the project to avoid subsequent regulatory scrutiny.

For example, for a brief period any person who signed up for the Ontology newsletter received an airdrop of free 1,000 ONT, which reached a value of $10 per token soon after the token became listed on major exchanges like Binance.

Ontology launched its own MainNet on June 30, 2018 and has been up and running smoothly since.

OMG Network, formerly known as OmiseGo, is a non-custodial, layer-2 scaling solution built for the Ethereum blockchain. As an Ethereum scaling solution, OMG Network is designed to allow users to transfer ETH and ERC20 tokens significantly faster and cheaper than when transacting directly on the Ethereum network.

The network is based on a novel scaling solution called MoreViable Plasma, which uses a sidechain architecture to group several transactions off-chain into a batch, which can then be verified as a single transaction on the Ethereum root chain. According to OMG Network, this technology has the potential to scale Ethereum to thousands of transactions per second (TPS) — instead of the 10 to 14 tps Ethereum 1.0 is currently capable of.

The network is powered by the OMG utility token, which can be used as one of the payment methods for fees on the OMG Network, and will eventually be stakable — helping to secure the network in return for rewards.

OMG Network

NEM is a blockchain platform that was launched in March of 2015. It was one of the pioneers of the cryptocurrency industry, and sought to improve on the imperfections found on other chains at the time. It was one of the first non-turing complete chains to feature user-defined tokens (called mosaics), namespaces, multisignature accounts, and a P2P reputation system based on EigenTrust++. Its most notable contribution to the space is the proof-of-importance consensus mechanism, which sought to reward on-chain activity and deter the concentration of wealth commonly associated with proof-of-stake. Its client, NIS, is written in Java.

NEM has a global community. It sees the most utility as an alternative form of payment for businesses and vendors, and has a variety of social media apps built on top of it in Japan, such as nemgraph, a community-driven owned and operated alternative to Instagram.

In December 2021, NEM was hard forked by a pseudonymous team of cryptocurrency experts and enthusiasts alike. Titled Harlock, this hard fork signaled the community’s intent to take NEM from a shadow of its former self into the world’s leading payments platform for on-chain and off-chain media content.

DigiByte (DGB) is an open source blockchain and asset creation platform. Development began in October 2013 and the genesis block of its DGB token was mined in January 2014 as a fork of Bitcoin (BTC).

A longstanding public blockchain and cryptocurrency, DigiByte uses five different algorithms to improve security, and originally aimed to improve on the Bitcoin blockchain’s security, capacity and transaction speed.

DigiByte consists of three layers: a smart contract “App Store,” a public ledger and the core protocol featuring nodes communicating to relay transactions.

DigiByte

Tezos is a high-performing blockchain and open-source platform for assets and applications, with a strong focus on code security, on-chain governance, and decentralization. Tezos 2.0, the upcoming step in the evolution of Tezos, aims to improve scalability (via layer 2s), composability, and to implement support to mainstream programming languages (like Javascript, Typescript, Python, and many others).

Initially built with formal verification in mind, the Tezos protocol enables builders to avoid bugs when developing smart contracts, making it particularly suited to applications that require a high degree of security and certainty.

Tezos’ LPoS (Liquid Proof-of-Stake) consensus mechanism enables any stakeholder to take part, directly or by delegation, in the consensus process, and to be rewarded for securing the network. Rather uniquely, Tezos’ on-chain governance system also enables stakeholders to create and vote on protocol upgrade proposals. This pioneering system allows the protocol to self-amend and upgrade itself without leading to a split (or fork) in the blockchain, empowering the community without slowing down innovation.

First proposed in 2014 and launched in 2018, the Tezos Mainnet has a proven track record of running uninterrupted ever since, having earned a strong reputation for technical excellence and a supportive community.

Tezos

The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying data for networks like Ethereum and IPFS, powering many applications in both DeFi and the broader Web3 ecosystem. Anyone can build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, that applications can query using GraphQL to retrieve blockchain data. There is a hosted service in production that makes it easy for developers to get started building on The Graph and the decentralized network will be launching later this year. The Graph currently supports indexing data from Ethereum, IPFS and POA, with more networks coming soon.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of The Graph.

To date, over3,000 subgraphs have been deployed by thousands of developers, for DApps like Uniswap, Synthetix, Aragon, AAVE, Gnosis, Balancer, Livepeer, DAOstack, Decentraland and many others. The Graph usage has been growing at over 50% MoM and hit over 7 billion queries during the month of September 2020.

The Graph has a global community, including over 200 Indexer Nodes in the testnet and more than 2,000 Curators in the Curator Program as of October 2020. To fund network development, The Graph raised funds from community members, strategic VCs and influential individuals in the blockchain community including Coinbase Ventures, DCG, Framework, ParaFi Capital, CoinFund, DTC, Multicoin, Reciprocal Ventures, SPC, Tally Capital and others. The Graph Foundation also successfully completed a public GRT Sale with participation from 99 countries (not including the U.S.). To date as of November 2020, The Graph has raised ~$25M.

Filecoin is a decentralized storage system that aims to “store humanity’s most important information.” The project raised $205 million in an initial coin offering (ICO) in 2017, and initially planned a launch date for mid-2019. However, the launch date for the Filecoin mainnet was pushed back until block 148,888, which is expected in mid-October 2020.

The project was first described back in 2014 as an incentive layer for the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), a peer-to-peer storage network where users pay for data storage and distribution services in $FIL. Filecoin is open protocol and backed by a blockchain that records commitments made by the network’s participants, with transactions made using FIL, the blockchain’s native currency. The blockchain is based on both proof-of-replication and proof-of-spacetime.

Filecoin is open-source and decentralized, which means that all governance is in the hands of the community. On the Filecoin platform, developers have the opportunity to create cloud file storage services like Dropbox or iCloud. Anyone can join Filecoin and start storing their data or earn money by providing space for someone else's funds. The creators of Filecoin opted for their blockchain technology to run the network and their token with their own consensus.

$FIL is the native currency of Filecoin that powers the entire network and all processes. Clients pay for transactions in FIL tokens. Miners place FIL as collateral, guaranteeing their services.

The developers claim that Filecoin solves the problem of inefficient file storage and retrieval. Customers can find the right solution with an efficient set of tools and its core development, IPFS.

Filecoin
