## What Is ebox ($EBOX)?
 
Safe sending:

ebox provides a unique solution to a problem in cryptocurrency trading that is as devastating as it is widespread. Accidentally sending funds to a mistyped or mistaken recipient address has already been the cause for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of financial damage. Harnessing the cryptographically unbreakable safety of the underlying Ethereum blockchain, ebox provides a smart contract based digital escrow service to completely alleviate any risk of loss while sending cryptocurrency
 
Privacy:

Sending funds through ebox disrupts the chain of transparently trackable blockchain transactions, thereby obfuscating their origin and destination. For situations where discretion is required, users have the option of wrapping ebox transactions with an additional layer of privacy, for a small increase in service fee. When using this added privacy feature, both sender and recipient addresses are encrypted locally on users’ computers. No clear-text addresses are ever transmitted into the internet or stored on-chain, and users may remain anonymous to each other. Any attempt to reconstruct added-privacy transactions between ethbox users becomes tremendous effort, if not impossible.
 
OTC

On top of securing transaction, ebox offers an easy and convient way of trading Ether and ERC-20 tokens. Funds can be sent & requested a single transaction, which may only be fulfilled once both the sending and receiving party have put in their part. This gives users a safe, reliable environment for OTC trading that is immune to any form of fraud or scam. Safeguarded by the ebox smart contract, ebox OTC transactions are guaranteed to take place in the only way that is acceptable, being fair and mutually beneficial for both parties

### What makes ebox unique?
 
Users can either deposit funds inside the ebox smart contract (“send”), or retrieve funds that have previously been deposited by another user (“receive”).
In order to guarantee that only the designated recipient of a transaction is able to receive the funds, the ebox smart contract takes the recipient’s address (authenticated through MetaMask) as one part of a two-factor authentication.

The other part is a passphrase, that is arbitrarily chosen by the sender of a transaction.

This means that for retrieving funds, the recipient has to be connected to ethbox through MetaMask using the address that was specified by the sender as recipient, and know the correct passphrase.

For all of this to work, the ethbox smart contract has to keep track of what is going on – Who deposited how much, for whom, with what passphrase?

The passphrase part is critical about this, as it can’t be stored in the smart contract in clear-text for obvious reasons, given that any data on any smart contract can be viewed by anyone at any time.

Therefore, the ebox smart contract stores merely the Keccak-256 / SHA-3 hash value of each transaction’s correct passphrase.

Hashing is one of the basic underlying concepts of blockchain technology in general, which implies that the safety and reliability of ethbox goes hand in hand with the blockchain itself, making it just as unbreakable.

Mode of operation Applying this knowledge to how ebox stores transaction passphrases, this means that ebox can validate any passphrase that it is told by a user trying to retrieve funds, without actually knowing what the passphrase is.

In order to retrieve funds, users are required to enter a passphrase, which is then submitted to the ethbox smart contract.
The smart contract then computes the hash of that submitted passphrase, and compares it to what it has stored inside its memory, which is the hash of the correct passphrase (but not the actual correct passphrase itself).

Fei protocol is a DeFi native algorithmic stablecoin. The aim of Fei is to propose a technological solution in a sweet spot between rigid overcollateralized decentralized stablecoin and centralised custodial stablecoins.

Fei Protocol runs on two crypto assets: FEI stablecoin and TRIBE governance token.

FEI is aimed to be a more capital efficient and fully decentralized stablecoin. The protocol uses the value it controls to maintain liquid secondary markets and earn yield for the protocol.

The project was founded in December 2020 and immediately attracted significant interest in the crypto community. It resulted in $19 million VC investment in early March 2021. Among the names that have entered this project are Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Coinbase Ventures, Nascent and Framework Ventures.

There were some issues with the peg in the original mechanism, but through a series of governance upgrades the protocol recovered in the months following launch.

Fei v2 intends to be a major upgrade for the system and will launch in late 2021. It features 1:1 redeemability for FEI against protocol reserves, TRIBE buybacks and backstop, and algorithmic protocol controlled value management.

Polkastarter is a decentralized fundraising platform empowering Web3 projects to launch and raise funds through multi-chain token pools whilst significantly growing their communities.

The platform supports initial dex offerings (IDOs) across major blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Polkadot, Polygon, Avalanche and Celo.

The platform enables investors to secure early access to IDOs, NFTs and Gaming Web3 innovation. It is most commonly used by early-stage blockchain projects that want to raise capital and easily distribute their tokens at the same time.

Through Polkastarter, blockchain projects can easily create their own fixed-chain swap pools, which allow them to securely raise funds, while users can invest without risks, since swaps are automatically executed by smart contracts.

POLS is the native utility token of the Polkastarter platform. Its main utility is gaining access to pools and giving projects the option to give priority access to POLS holders. Users are incentivised to stake POLS, rewarding the most loyal members.

In Q4 2022, Polkastarter will release new community utility features, such as governance and POLS Power Boosters (increasing your allowlisting success). The platform first went live in December 2020, and has quickly grown to become one of the most commonly used platforms for initial DEX offerings (IDOs) operating on the Ethereum blockchain.

Wanchain is a distributed ledger that allows for cross-chain transactions and the interoperability of multiple chains. Although Wanchain facilitates transactions between blockchains, it is also a stand-alone blockchain that runs autonomously. The protocol acts as a distributed ledger that processes and maintains records of cross-chain transactions.

Transactions on Wanchain do not only occur between different public blockchains but between private chains as well. As an Ethereum (ETH) fork, Wanchain enjoys some of the properties of the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol securely and autonomously processes applications via smart contracts.  The use cases for Wanchain include decentralized exchanges (DEXs), lending and borrowing platforms, stablecoins, crowdfunding, multi-currency payments and settlements.

The platform is totally decentralized and requires no custodian party to manage or confirm transactions. Unlike other cross-chain systems, Wanchain does not rely on a third-party platform to authenticate transactions. The locked account mechanism is used to secure and manage accounts on the network, eliminating third-party interferences.

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:
