Top 10 Biggest Gainers: Which Coins Have Gained the Most This Year?

## ما هي تيلكوين (TEL)؟

تيلكوين (Telcoin) عبارة عن عملة مشفّرة لامركزية قائم على سلسلة كتل إيثريوم. تأسست في يوليو 2017 في سنغافورة لتكون بمثابة جسر بين العملات المشفرة وسلسلة الكتل من جهة، وصناعة الاتصالات من جهة أخرى.

يهدف المشروع إلى تأمين شراكات مع كبرى الشركات في صناعة الاتصالات مثل Verizon وAT&T لإزالة العقبات التي تسد الطريق بين منصات الفوترة وأموال الهاتف المحمول.

ينصب التركيز الرئيسي لتيلكوين على سوق التحويلات، حيث تهيمن ويسترن يونيون حالياً على هذا المجال. حيث تقوم تيلكوين بعقد شراكات مع منصات الاتصالات العالمية وأموال الهاتف المحمول لتزويد المستخدمين بخدمة تحويلات رقمية عالية السرعة ومنخفضة التكلفة، عبر الدمج ما بين أموال الهاتف المحمول والمحافظ الإلكترونية.

عملة تيلكوين (TEL) هو رمز مشفّر قائم على معيار ERC-20 على سلسلة كتل إيثريوم. وتستخدم (TEL) في النظام البيئي للعملات الرقمية لإجراء عمليات الدفع على مواقع التجارة الإلكترونية.

### من هم مؤسسو تيلكوين؟

في عام 2017، شارك بول نيونر، وكلود إيجينتا في تأسيس تيلكوين لمساعدة المستخدمين على تحويل الأموال عالمياً في ثوانٍ. بول نيونر، الذي يشغل منصب رئيس مجلس إدارة تيلكوين، يمتلك أكثر من 12 عاماً في مجال الاتصالات السلكية واللاسلكية قبل أن يغامر في عالم سلسلة الكتل.

تبدأ مشاركته الأولى كرجل أعمال تقني في مجال الاتصالات مع موبيوس، وهي شركة ناشئة تقدم خدمات إدارة الاحتيال لشبكات الهاتف المحمول. في عام 2012، أسس شركة (Pangea K.K).، وهي شركة لتطوير تطبيقات الأجهزة المحمولة البرمجية ومقرها طوكيو، اليابان.

قبل إنشاء تيلكوين، في مارس 2017، بدأ مشروع (Ikou)، وهو تطبيق للهاتف المحمول لإنشاء وتنظيم الأحداث. في عام 2018، أطلق (Sedona)، وهي خدمة لإدارة الاحتيال في مجال الاتصالات من الجيل التالي تركز على تأمين الخدمات المالية للهاتف المحمول.

فيما يشغل كلود إيجينتا منصب الرئيس التنفيذي لتيلكوين ويرأس المشروع. وهو حاصل على درجة الماجستير في علوم الكمبيوتر والتي ركز فيها على الأنظمة الموزعة. وعلى مدى أكثر من عقد من الزمان، عمل كلود لصالح الشركات الناشئة وشركات التكنولوجيا الكبرى التي تركز على تقديم أفضل الخدمات المالية للعملاء.

### ما الذي يميّز تيلكوين؟

ينصب التركيز الرئيسي لتيلكوين على سوق التحويلات. ففي حين تبلغ نسبة الهواتف المحمولة 5 مقابل كل حساب مصرفي واحد، نجدّ الناس يصطفون لإرسال الأموال عبر وكالات التحويلات عالية التكلفة، التي تتربع على عرشها ويسترن يونيون.

بالاستفادة من قوة البلوك تشين، تجلب تيلكوين للناس في العالم النامي بديلاً أسرع ومنخفض التكلفة لخدمات التحويلات. حيث تعمل لتحقيق ذلك مع مشغلي شبكات الهاتف المحمول لدمج خدمات المحافظ الإلكترونية، مما يسمح لهم بالوصول إلى قاعدة واسعة من المستخدمين وتزويدهم بخدمة خالية من التعقيد.

ومثلها مثل أي أصل رقمي لامركزي آخر، تمنح تيلكوين مستخدمها الوصول الكامل إلى أموالهم عبر هواتفهم. فيمكنهم إرسال الأموال وتلقيها من أي مكان في العالم متى يشاؤون. يتمحور المشروع أيضاً حول المستخدم، مما يجعل المنصة سهلة الاستخدام ومألوفة قدر الإمكان.

ويمكن لمشغلي الاتصالات الذين حصلو على ربط مع شبكة تيلكوين البدء فوراً بإصدار رموز TEL المشفّرة. كما تقدم الشبكة حوافز ؛ فكلما زادت تحويلات رموز (TEL) المشفّرة لدى المشغل، زادت الحوافز التي يحصل عليها من الشبكة.

حيث يقدم نموذج تيلكوين القائم على الحوافز؛ خدمات منخفضة الرسوم للغاية جذابة للمستخدمين النهائيين، ولكنها مربحة للشبكات في الوقت نفسه، وفقاً لتيلكوين.

### كم عدد رموز تيلكوين المشفّرة (TEL) الموجودة في التداول؟

تم إنشاء تيلكوين على سلسلة كتل إيثريوم. وعند إطلاقها في عام 2017، تم توزيع 25% من الرموز المشفّرة خلال حدث بيع جماعي للمستثمرين. فيما تم الاحتفاظ بنسبة 15% من قبل فريق تيلكوين، وتخصيص 5% لصندوق السيولة.

ثم تأتي حوافز مشغلي الاتصالات التي ذكرناه سابقاً حيث خصص لها 50% من جميع الرموز المشفّرة. كما خصّص للحوافز المجتمعية والتطويرات 5% من جميع رموز (TEL) المشفّرة.

تم إطلاق المشروع بكمية ثابتة من رموز (TEL) المشفّرة. ويتم تثبيت الحد الأقصى للرموز المشفّرة على الشبكة عند 100,000,000,000 TEL. في الوقت الحالي، تم إصدار ما يقرب من 50% من الرموز المشفّرة (50،270،110،195 TEL).

### كيف يتم تأمين تيلكوين؟

تعمل تيلكوين على سلسلة كتل إيثريوم. وفي حين أنه يستفيد من الأمن في لامركزية الشبكة، إلا أن التخزين المرقت غير متاح على شبكة تيلكوين.

لا يوجد أيضاً مدققون على الشبكة ؛ بدلاً من ذلك، تستخدم نموذج إثبات المفهوم. حيث يعتبر شركاء تيلكوين، شركات الاتصالات التي تدمج TEL، بمثابة المدققين على سلسلة الكتل. وتحصل شركات الاتصالات على المكافآت على الشبكة.

لتحقيق أمان أفضل، تقوم تيلكوين بتنفيذ أمان تشفير متعدد التوقيعات أو نموذج متعدد الإعدادات. هذا يعني أنه لإكمال معاملة على شبكة تيلكوين، ستحتاج إلى مفتاحين خاصين على الأقل. ويمكن للمستخدمين تعيين عدد المفاتيح المطلوبة قبل اكتمال المعاملة.

بالإضافة إلى محفظة تيلكوين الخاصة، هناك أيضاً خيار دمج محافظ الأموال المحمولة الأخرى الخاصة بشركات الاتصالات.

### أين يمكنك شراء تيلكوين (TEL)؟

على الرغم من أن (TEL) عملة مشفرة شائعة جداً، إلا أن عدداً قليلاً من منصات التداول توفر إمكانية شراء رموز TEL المشفرة مقابل العملات الورقية. بدلاً من ذلك، يمكنك شراء رموز TEL المشفّرة مقابل عملات مشفرة أخرى مثل [بيتكوين (BTC)](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/bitcoin/historical-data/) و[إيثريوم (ETH)](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar/currencies/ethereum/).

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.

Hedera is the most used, sustainable, enterprise-grade public network for the decentralized economy that allows individuals and businesses to create powerful decentralized applications (DApps).

It is designed to be a fairer, more efficient system that eliminates some of the limitations that older blockchain-based platforms face — such as slow performance and instability.

It was funded through an initial coin offering (ICO) in August 2018 and first launched open access to its mainnet just over a year later in September 2019. As part of the ICO, investors were able to purchase the platform’s native utility token (HBAR) at the lowest possible pricing.

The HBAR token has a dual role within the Hedera public network.

First and foremost, HBAR the fuel that powers Hedera services, such as smart contracts, file storage and regular transactions. Second, it's used to help secure the network, since HBAR users can stake their tokens to assist with maintaining the integrity of the platform.

Hedera (HBAR) is the native cryptocurrency of Hedera Hashgraph, a platform that is positioned as an alternative to traditional blockchain technology and aims to excel in speed, efficiency and security.

Older blockchains tend to use a consensus mechanism like proof-of-work (PoW) to validate transactions, while younger blockchains opted for proof-of-stake (PoS). The Hedera Hashgraph system has a structure that was created from scratch particularly for the project. Hedera is based on a PoS model that is believed to increase the efficiency of transaction verification in the network, provide a high level of security, and protect the network from hacker attacks. Its ecosystem has the underlying hashgraph consensus algorithm and the global enterprise governing body.

Hedera Hashgraph is a distributed ledger technology (DLT). According to the project website, Hedera differs from other blockchains because it uses a new consensus algorithm called hashgraph. It intends to process and execute transactions faster, eliminate delays, and smooth out the TPS (transactions per second) indicator. Hashgraph is claimed to be an upgrade in transaction speed, cost, and scalability.

Core network services by Hedera:

Consensus Service (HCS). With HCS, clients send messages to the network to negotiate consensus timestamping and order. In this case, the state is stored offline, and users can define privacy and access control.

Hedera Token Service (HTS). Thanks to HTS, token creation and management are available to customers. It supports built-in tokenization.

The goal of Hedera’s hashgraph is to increase the speed of transactions. Moreover, the network is also focused on high-volume operations: micropayments, data integrity and tokenization.

Like the EVM, the Hedera network maintains a virtual machine that writes smart contracts in the Solidity programming language. On top of that, Hedera offers a set of built-in KYC and AML checks.

From a technical point of view, Hedera is a form of distributed ledger technology. It is a hashgraph, or consensus algorithm, where users agree on the order in which transactions should be performed. However, Hedera is not exactly a blockchain. It has its own distinctiveness and works differently. With hashgraph, all transaction branches are merged, no block equivalent is thrown away, and each is used to reach consensus.

One of the most noticeable features of the network is the Gossip-about-Gossip protocol. According to Dr. Leemon Baird, Hedera's inventor, within the system nodes randomly transmit data about themselves to other nodes via hashgraph using the Gossip protocol. Soon, all nodes in a cluster become familiar with each other. Then a certain data structure is formed. It consists of a payload of transactions, a timestamp, a digital signature, and hashes to the previous structures.

HBAR is Hedera's native token that powers applications on the Hedera network. HBAR is utilized to pay for network services, transaction fees, in-app payments and micropayments. Developers can pay network fees with HBAR tokens, namely: work with smart contracts, file storage and currency exchange. HBAR is used to incentivize and pay network nodes.

Hedera Hashgraph has a decentralized governance system that is set apart. All critical decisions about pricing policy, software updates, and wealth management are made by the Governing Council.
