## What Is EFFORCE (WOZX)?

EFFORCE (WOZX) is the native cryptocurrency token of energy efficiency platform Efforce. Launched in December 2020, the project and token are the brainchild of Steve Wozniak, co-founder of computing giant Apple.

The principal aim of Efforce is to democratize the energy efficiency industry, which to this day suffers from teething problems with financing and global outreach.

WOZX tokens function as the medium through which energy savings created on the Efforce platform are tokenized for use by any participant.


## Who Are the Founders of Efforce?

As the EFFORCE token’s ticker name suggests, the main personality associated with Efforce is Steve Wozniak, the IT mogul known the world over for co-founding Apple with Steve Jobs.

Wozniak has stated that even at that time, one of his major goals was to improve energy efficiency in emerging technologies, with Apple set to focus on smaller, more efficient machines.

Efforce continues that ethos, with an official press release at launch describing the product as the “first decentralized platform that allows everyone to participate and benefit financially from worldwide energy efficiency projects, and create meaningful environmental change.”

The company’s other three co-founders — Jacopo Visetti, Jacopo Vanetti and Andrea Castiglione — have more than a decade of experience in the energy efficiency industry.


## What Makes Efforce Unique?

As co-founder Visetti states, Efforce’s core business proposition is to allow participants to make money while developing and contributing to environment-saving energy efficiency initiatives.

A form of marketplace for the industry, Efforce aims to draw together those market participants and use decentralized technology to smooth out issues with the current energy efficiency ecosystem.

[Blockchain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain), for example, will be used to record real energy saving achievements, these then being awarded as credits in megawatt hours for sale or consumption. 

Efforce also acts as a consultant, guiding projects through the various stages of development and funding while using the platform.

The WOZX token goes a step further towards introducing the industry to cryptographic technology and decentralized payments.

Growth in demand is all but guaranteed, the company says, as the International Energy Agency's Efficient World Scenario calls for the energy efficiency sector to hit $580 billion in investments by 2025. As of 2020, the tally is at $250 billion.

## How Many EFFORCE (WOZX) Coins Are There in Circulation?

The EFFORCE (WOZX) token is a fixed-cap [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) standard cryptocurrency on Ethereum for use and trade in tandem with the Efforce energy efficiency platform. 

100 million WOZX were created at launch, supply to remain fixed at 100% of the original allocation.

Of the 100 million, 45% of the tokens will be allocated via a private placement. 20% went to Efforce itself, another 20% towards mining incentives and the remaining 15% for ecosystem and consulting activities.

Token holders will receive a minimum of 1% of the total energy savings from successful projects, distributed among all investors.

Holders will also be able to use their investments for voting rights as part of system governance, according to the Efforce whitepaper.


## How Is the Efforce Network Secured?

Efforce uses an incentive scheme to encourage network participants to secure and support it, in common with many similar corporate blockchain token setups.

Mining occurs once a successful project launches on Efforce, the whitepaper explains, with any token rewards set to be issued on a sliding scale over a ten-year period. 

This helps to ensure continued interaction and liquidity as the company expands and the value of the token notionally rises.

## Where Can You Buy EFFORCE (WOZX)?

EFFORCE (WOZX) is a brand new cryptocurrency token as of December 2020, and as such is tradable in an increasing but limited number of venues.

The first major exchange to list WOZX was [HBTC](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/hbtc/), and it is likely that more major exchanges will follow. HBTC offers [Bitcoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/) (BTC) and [Tether](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/) (USDT) trading pairs for WOZX.

Kleros (PNK) is a decentralized dispute resolution project that launched in July 2018. It is an open-source online dispute resolution protocol that uses blockchain and crowdsourcing to adjudicate disputes fairly.

Kleros offers a middleman service for decentralized applications (DApps) and their users. If the service provided by the application does not create a dispute, Kleros acts as a trustless third-party service for payment.

When a dispute does occur, however, each party can apply for arbitration through the Kleros arbitrators that are selected from the owners of PNK tokens. PNK is an Ethereum-based ERC-20 utility token with a fixed supply.

At this point, the jurors can make a decision that will favor either party. The arbitration fees are distributed to all arbitrators in the form of ETH; jurors who have issued a minority decision lose part of their PNK tokens for the benefit of the majority of jurors. This decision can be appealed, at a cost. The stated mission of Kleros is to offer easier access to justice and improve individual freedom.

Kleros charges a cost that is payable in ETH and is provided by the parties to the dispute or drawn from the funds previously locked in escrow.

ABBC is a blockchain platform that enables secure payment transactions, helping to facilitate retail adoption of cryptocurrencies and make shopping online with digital assets a safer, more enjoyable experience for end-users.

The platform offers three main products: a multi-platform wallet capable of supporting Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), in addition to a variety of other native cryptocurrencies and ERC-20 tokens; an online shopping application that can be used to shop at over 50 online retailers with cryptocurrencies; and a cryptocurrency exchange platform that offers secure trading and low transaction fees.

The ABBC Coin was created to give holders the ability to govern the development of the ABBC platform by delegating voting power to chosen block producers (BPs) — who are then able to vote on governance proposals. These governance proposals can be on a range of topics but might include launching strategic partnerships, implementing new features or expanding ABBC's services to new regions. Beyond this, ABBC Coins were created as a reward system for online shoppers and can be staked for regular rewards.

ABBC is currently based on the EOSIO blockchain, which enables it to achieve up to 5,000 transactions per second (TPS) while remaining environmentally friendly due to its energy-efficient delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism.

ABBC Coin was initially known as Alibabacoin but changed its name in March 2019 following a dispute with Chinese multinational e-commerce giant Alibaba.

MediBloc (MED) is a South Korean-based decentralized blockchain protocol for the healthcare industry through which medical institutions can securely transfer, collect, store and manage data. With MediBloc, physicians can access patient information, medical history, prescribed medication, insurance issues and more. MediBloc makes medical data more accessible by allowing everyone involved to track and record medical conditions, appointments, examinations, treatments and more.

The ecosystem is built on three key elements: MediBloc Core (a layer for storing data and providing additional storage), MediBloc Application (a layer for accessing and managing data through various applications), and MediBloc Service (a layer applying smart contract technology that connects the other layers and allowing input and output of data).

The platform offers three categories of accounts: for general users (patients), healthcare providers (doctors and medical institutions) and data scientists, the latter two require proof of their accreditation. The project is aimed at improving the quality of medical services and infrastructure by optimizing information storage processes and giving users sovereignty over their own data. MediBloc is compliant with the HIPAA Security Rule, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

Ampleforth is an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency with an algorithmically adjusted circulating supply. It is designed to be the base money of the new decentralized economy, by providing an asset that cannot be diluted by supply inflation and remains decoupled to the price action of other cryptocurrencies—and Bitcoin (BTC) in particular.

With Ampleforth, token holders own a fixed fraction of the total AMPL circulating supply, rather than a fixed number of tokens. When the protocol detects that the price of AMPL is too high, it increases the circulating supply, whereas the supply is decreased if the price is too low.

This change is propagated to all Ampleforth wallets, which have their wallet balance adjusted proportionally. Irrespective of this change, AMPL holders will still retain the same percentage of the token supply.

This automatic supply adjustment process is known as a “rebase” and occurs once each day, with a positive rebase if the price goes above $1.06, and a negative rebase if it is below $0.96. The overall goal of the system is to create incentives that drive the market price of AMPL back to ~$1.

Ampleforth

BitShares Blockchain is a decentralized “Blockchain as Organization” (BaO); an industrial-grade decentralized open source platform built to run high-performance financial technology operations. It represents the first decentralized autonomous decentralized community that enables its core utility token (BTS) holders to decide the Blockchain future direction in order to develop and maintain a wide range of decentralized financial technology products, features and functions. BitShares Blockchain is a Blockchain that permanently records financial technology operations between different Blockchain accounts and facilitates a wide range of access controls across BitShares Blockchain user financial means.

BitShares Blockchain is a technology that supports the digital generation entrepreneurs, investors, and developers with a common interest in building and participating in free market solutions by leveraging the power of globally decentralized consensus and decision making. Consensus technology has the power to do for economics what the internet did for information. It can harness the combined power of all humanity to coordinate the discovery and aggregation of real-time knowledge, previously unobtainable. This knowledge can be used to more effectively coordinate the allocation of resources toward their most productive and valuable use.

BitShares looks to extend the innovation of the Blockchain to all industries that rely upon the internet to provide their services. Whether its banking, stock exchanges, lotteries, voting, music, auctions or many others, a digital public ledger allows for the creation of distributed autonomous companies (or BaO) that provide better quality services at a fraction of the cost incurred by their more traditional, centralized counterparts. The advent of (BaO) ushers in a new paradigm in organizational structure in which companies can run without any human management and under the control of an incorruptible set of business rules. These rules are encoded in publicly auditable open source software distributed across the computers of the companies’ shareholders, who effortlessly secure the company from arbitrary control. BitShares does for business what bitcoin did for money by utilizing distributed consensus technology to create companies that are inherently global, transparent, trustworthy, efficient and most importantly profitable.

BitShares has went through many changes and has done its best to stay on top of Blockchain technology. BitShares is using Consensus as the mechanism by which organized people decide upon unitary rational action. While not considered technology in the traditional since, consensus “technology” is the basis of democratic governance and the coordination of free market activity first coined by Adam Smith as the “Invisible Hand.” The process of consensus decision-making allows for all participants to consent upon a resolution of action even if not the favored course of action for each individual participant. Bitcoin was the first system to integrate a fully decentralized consensus method with the modern technology of the internet and peer-to-peer networks in order to more efficiently facilitate the transfer of value through electronic communication. The proof-of-work structure that secures and maintains the Bitcoin network is one manner of organizing individuals who do not necessarily trust one another to act in the best interest of all participants of the network. The BitShares ecosystem employs Delegated Proof of Stake in order to find efficient solutions to distributed consensus decision making.

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.
