## ما هو Siacoin (SC)؟

إنّ Siacoin (SC) هو رمز الأداة الأصلي لمنصة Sia، وهي عبارة عن منصة [تخزين](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/storage-decentralized) سحابية لا مركزية وموزعة قائمة على [سلسلة الكتل](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain). تعمل Sia كسوق آمن ولا يحتاج إلى ثقة، للتخزين السحابي حيث يمكن للمستخدمين تأجير الوصول إلى مساحة التخزين غير المستخدمة. يتم تنفيذ الاتفاقيات والمعاملات من خلال [العقود الذكية](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract)، بينما تعمل Siacoin كوسيلة التبادل للدفع مقابل التخزين على الشبكة. إنّ [الهدف](https://sia.tech/about) الرئيسي من المشروع أن يصبح "طبقة التخزين الأساسية للإنترنت".

تم [الإعلان](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=591283.0) عن Sia في الأصل في مايو 2014 قبل مراجعتها و[إعادة الإعلان](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1060294.0) عنها بعد عام في مايو 2015. وتم [إطلاقها](https://twitter.com/NebulousLabs/status/607639984489811969) بشكل رسمي في يونيو 2015.

### من هم مُؤسسو Siacoin؟

تم تصميم Sia لأول مرة في منتصف عام 2013 من قبل ديفيد فوريك أثناء دراسته لعلوم الكمبيوتر في معهد Rensselaer Polytechnic. ناقش الفكرة عبر البريد الإلكتروني مع لوك شامبين، وهو صديق جامعي، انضم إلى تطوير المشروع بعد وقت قصير من تقديم فوريك للمفهوم في HackMIT hackathon في سبتمبر 2013. تم تسمية المشروع رسميًا باسم Sia في أوائل عام 2014، في إشارة إلى الإله الفكري المصري.

تم تقديم فوريك و شامبين من خلال مركز ريادة الأعمال في كليتهما إلى جيم بالوتا، المستثمر الملياردير ومؤسس Raptor Group، والذي بدوره استثمر في المشروع. قبل التخرج من الكلية بفترة وجيزة، قام الاثنان [بتأسيس](https://www.abra.com/blog/money-3-0-david-vorick-from-sia-talks-about-decentralized-digital-ownership/) شركة Nebulous Inc — التي تم [تغيير](https://blog.sia.tech/skynet-the-future-of-nebulous-c9922eb53456) علامتها التجارية منذ ذلك الحين إلى Skynet — للتعامل رسميًا مع تطوير Sia.

### ما الذي يُميز Siacoin؟

استنادًا إلى [الورقة البيضاء](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/whitepaper) الخاصة بها، فإن [الهدف](https://sia.tech/sia.pdf) طويل المدى لشركة Sia هو التنافس مع حلول التخزين الحالية. [ترى](https://blog.sia.tech/meet-sia-the-most-viable-non-financial-application-of-blockchain-technology-afe6e7412a25) نفسها في منافسة مباشرة مع مزودي التخزين السحابي الرئيسيين مثل Amazon و Google و Microsoft. ونظرًا لطبيعتها اللامركزية، فإنّ Sia قادرة على [تقديم](https://blog.sia.tech/cloud-storage-for-2-tb-mo-8a34043e93bb) أسعار تخزين تنافسية.

تنقسم الملفات [المخزنة](https://sia.tech/technology) على شبكة Sia إلى 30 قطعة مشفرة، مع تحميل كل قطعة إلى مُستقبل فريد من أجل الأمان. يتم تسجيل الاتفاقيات بين القائمين بالتحميل والمستقبلين على سلسلة كتل Sia ويتم فرضها باستخدام العقود الذكية. تعمل Siacoin كطريقة للدفع على الشبكة، حيث يدفع المستأجرون المستقبلين الذين يستخدمون رمز SC، ويقفل المستقبلون رموز SC في العقود الذكية كضمان.

أعلنت Skynet، الشركة التي تقف وراء Sia و Siacoin، عن العديد من المنتجات التي تم إنشاؤها على شبكة Sia، بما في ذلك [SiaStream](https://blog.sia.tech/siastream-is-the-new-home-for-all-your-media-dd51ac7b06ec) — تطبيق بث الوسائط المستند إلى السحابة — وشبكة [Skynet](https://blog.sia.tech/skynet-bdf0209d6d34) — شبكة توصيل المحتوى ومشاركة الملفات الرئيسية الخاصة بها.

تلقت الشركة عدة جولات من التمويل والمنح، ومن المانحين [Bain Capital Ventures](https://sia.tech/funding2019) و[Paradigm](https://sia.tech/funding2020) و[INBlockchain](https://sia.tech/2017grant). وفضلاً عن ذلك، تخضع كل معاملة متعلقة بالتخزين على شبكة Sia لرسوم قدرها 3.9%، والتي يتم [توزيعها](https://blog.sia.tech/sc-and-sf-the-economics-that-power-the-sia-network-f0b8d1899348) على حاملي [العملة المشفرة](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-are-cryptocurrencies) الثانية للشركة، Siafund — حيث تمتلك Skynet حوالي 85% من إجمالي Siafund.

### كم عدد عملات Siacoin (SC) المتداولة؟

لا يوجد حد عرض أقصى لدى Siacoin وذلك لأنها عبارة عن رمز أداة، مصمم للاستخدام في تشغيل المعاملات عبر العقود الذكية، حيث [ذكر](https://support.sia.tech/article/TziYOGhl38-siacoins-total-supply) المشروع أنه يجب أن يكون هناك إمداد غير محدود من أجل مطابقة الكمية غير المحدودة من البيانات التي يمكن إنشاؤها وتخزينها بشكل فعال.

تم تقديم Siacoin الجديدة كمكافآت تعدين من خلال خوارزمية سلسلة كتل Sia [لإثبات العمل](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake). بدأت مكافأة التعدين عند 300,000 رمز SC وانخفضت بمعدل 1 SC مع كل كتلة يتم سكها حتى [وصلت](https://siastats.info/block_reward) إلى 30,000 رمز SC في يوليو 2020. ستبقى مكافأة الكتلة الآن إلى الأبد 30,000 رمز SC. تتم إزالة Siacoin من النظام البيئي عندما يفقد المستقبلون الرموز أو تُترك ضماناتهم غير قابلة للاسترداد بسبب الإجراءات السيئة. مستقبلاً، [يعتزم](https://trello.com/c/xynwRelr/56-add-proof-of-burn-mechanic-to-hosts) فريق التطوير تقديم آلية إثبات الاحتراق التي سيُطلب من المضيفين من خلالها حرق نسبة صغيرة من إيراداتهم لإثبات أنهم حقيقيون ولديهم نوايا حسنة.

قام فريق تطوير Sia [بتعدين](https://siawiki.tech/wallet/siacoin) ما يقرب من 100 كتلة (حوالي 30 مليون رمز SC) قبل إطلاق خوارزمية التعدين علنًا. ويمتلك فريق المنصة والمستثمرون أقل من 0.1% من إجمالي المعروض من Siacoin.

### كيف يتم تأمين شبكة Siacoin؟

يتم تأمين سلسلة كتل Sia باستخدام خوارزمية [إجماع](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus) إثبات العمل، مما يعني أن المعدنين يتنافسون فيما بينهم لإضافة كتل جديدة إلى سلسلة الكتل ويجب على الأغلبية تأكيد سجل ليتم نشره. [جادل](https://blog.sia.tech/choosing-asics-for-sia-b318505b5b51) فوريك، المؤسس المشارك لـ Sia، في يونيو 2017 بأن إثبات العمل هو أفضل طريقة لتأمين الشبكة لأنه يحد من قدرة الفاعل الضار على مهاجمة الشبكة لمتطلبات الطاقة الهائلة ونفقات الأجهزة.

وفقًا لفريق التطوير في Sia، فإن حقيقة أن المستقبلين يضطرون إلى تقديم ضمانات من أجل المشاركة في عمليات الشبكة [يُقلل](https://blog.sia.tech/addressing-thoughtful-concerns-about-sias-security-viability-103ccfff5e92) من أي حافز للأطراف السيئة. إضافةً إلى ذلك، [أشارت](https://twitter.com/SiaTechHQ/status/1169240559111888897) إلى أنها تقسم البيانات التي تم تحميلها إلى 30 جزءًا، بحيث يتم توزيعها بعد ذلك في جميع أنحاء العالم، تأكيدًا بأنه لا يمكن إزالة شبكتها إلا في حالة وقوع كارثة طبيعية أو حدث جيوسياسي كبير. وطالما نجا 10 من أصل 30 مستقبلاً من هجوم على شبكته، فلا يزال من الممكن استرداد الملفات.

The Sia Foundation develops Sia, the trustless cloud storage marketplace allowing buyers and sellers to transact directly.

Holo is a peer-to-peer distributed platform for hosting decentralized applications built using Holochain, a framework for developing DApps that does not require the use of blockchain technology. The goal of Holo is to serve as a bridge between the broader internet and apps built using Holochain, offering an ecosystem and marketplace in which DApps are easily accessible, as they are hosted on the internet by Holo network participants.

The Holo network will be facilitated using a token called HoloFuel, which is actively being tested and will act as an accounting system to pay hosts for their services. In 2018, the project minted an ERC-20 token, HOT — also known as HoloToken — as an "IOU" that will be redeemable for HoloFuel upon launch.

Holo is still in development and is expected to launch for open alpha and beta testing by 2021.

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.

Harmony is a blockchain platform designed to facilitate the creation and use of decentralized applications (DApps). The network aims to innovate the way decentralized applications work by focusing on random state sharding, which allows creating blocks in seconds.

According to the project’s website, Harmony is expected to introduce cross-shard contracts and a cross-chain infrastructure by the end of 2021.

Harmony

IOTA is a distributed ledger technology (DLT) that features unique architecture and an open-source product suite for individuals, businesses, and institutions to use in Web3. It is built on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) called the Tangle, which can be pictured as a multi-dimensional blockchain. It enables the exchange of data and value on a decentralized platform through direct and secure transfers, executed on and immutably recorded on the network.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive into IOTA.

Together with its staging network Shimmer, IOTA aims to offer solutions to establish a secure and permissionless infrastructure that can drive the economy of the future. It enables the development of decentralized applications through automated trust in the form of Ethereum-compatible smart contracts, an advanced consensus algorithm, and thoughtfully balanced incentives.

IOTA delivers tools for creating and managing custom Layer 2 (EVM) chains, deploying smart contracts, minting native tokens and NFTs with distinctive features, and introducing digital identities to users.

Launching in 2024, IOTA 2.0 will be a protocol upgrade that rebuilds IOTA’s architecture to deliver full decentralization. You can find more about it here.

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.

Basic Attention Token

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.

Ontology

Storj, pronounced as “storage,” is an open-source cloud storage platform. Basically, it uses a decentralized network of nodes to host user data. The platform also secures hosted data using advanced encryption.

In a white paper published in December,2014, Storj was first introduced to the world as a concept. It was to be a decentralized peer-to-peer encrypted cloud storage platform.

Two years later, an updated white paper was published. Here, a decentralized network  — connecting users who need cloud storage space with those who have hard drive space to sell — was described. The platform was launched in late 2018.

People with hard drive space and good internet connectivity can participate in the network. They become a unit in the network, called a node. Space providers are rewarded by Storj tokens.

Storj

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.
