What Is Hord?

Hord is a protocol to create and trade ETFs, also known are tokenized baskets. 

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of [Hord](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-hord).

There are two key participants in Hord: (a) Champions and (b) their Hord. The Champions are likely to be market-leading influencers, funds, or strategy-based long-term traders. Champions broadcast their portfolio data, which is used by their Hord.

There are two key smart contracts in Hord: (a) Champion Contract and (b) Mirror Contract. The first one serves Champions and the second one serves their Hord (followers). 

The Champion Contract is a smart contract that broadcasts the Champion’s portfolio data to the Mirror Contract. The Champion’s Hord can deposit funds to a Mirror Contract, which always acquires the assets in the proportion represented by the Champion’s portfolio. 

Once funds are in the Mirror Contract, a token is minted to reflect its deposits, and it is then distributed to the accounts that deposited funds to the Mirror Contract. This token is essentially the tokenized portfolio of the Champion, and is redeemable for the underlying value held in the Mirror Contract. 

The ETF tokens can be traded on the Hord DEX, an orderbook decentralized exchange.

KardiaChain is a blockchain platform that aims to be fully interoperable and "non-invasive," meaning that blockchains can connect to the network without needing to make technical modifications to their own protocols. KardiaChain uses a dual-node structure to facilitate the connection between its own ledger and other blockchains, sharding for scalability and smart contracts for developers.

The platform relies on a native token, KAI, which is used for staking, transaction fees, participating in services and deploying smart contracts.

KardiaChain was first announced in October 2018, and its mainnet went live in December 2020.

Ethernity is a blockchain-based platform that allows users to take advantage of the increasing popularity of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The developers position it as a decentralized finance (DeFi) crossover project with authenticated NFTs. In the Ethernity ecosystem, all NFTs can be bought and sold on-chain.

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

Ethernity was funded on the Polkastarter platform, where its crowd sale took place on March 8, 2021. The project tries to create favorable conditions for all active members of the community to boost the value of its ERN token.

Prior to launching ERN, Ethernity underwent a round of strategic investments backed by Black Edge Capital, Morningstar Ventures, Spark Digital Capital, Woodstock and Genesis Block Ventures.

MIR is the governance token of Mirror Protocol, a synthetic assets protocol built by Terraform Labs (TFL) on the Terra blockchain.

Mirror Protocol is decentralized from day 1, with the on-chain treasury and code changes governed by holders of the MIR token. TFL has no intention of keeping or selling MIR tokens, and there are no admin keys or special access privileges granted. The intent for this is to be a completely decentralized, community-driven project.

Mirrored assets are blockchain tokens that behave like "mirror" versions of real-world assets by reflecting the exchange prices on-chain. They give traders the price exposure to real assets while enabling fractional ownership, open access and censorship resistance as any other cryptocurrency. Unlike traditional tokens which serve to represent a real, underlying asset, mAssets are purely synthetic and only capture the price movement of the corresponding asset.

Mirrored assets provide the following advantages:

Global Accessibility: In most markets outside of Europe & North America, access to foreign equities and forex markets is highly limited. Crypto allows global accessibility without entry barriers.

Fractional Orders: In traditional finance, to execute a fractional order, multiple fractional orders are bundled together to execute a unitary transaction. The process of gathering all the orders into one requires additional waiting time. By utilizing the blockchain, orders volume is simply represented as a number on the blockchain, so there is no need for the intermediary bundling process.

Nearly-Instantaneous Order Execution: Oftentimes due to the lack of liquidity (price-time-priority order book algorithm), orders can take up to a day to fully execute. Given the fact that Mirror relies on liquidity provided by each individual asset pool, orders can be executed as fast as the blocktime of the network (~ 6 seconds).

The Suterusu Protocol is a second-layer private payment infrastructure for smart contract platforms. The Suterusu Protocol uses the original and most advanced ZK-ConSnark algorithm that does not require a trusted setup. The algorithm’s proof size is significantly reduced and the proof generation and verification efficiency are greatly improved compared with similar solutions. Since no trusted setup is required, it is safe and transparent. The technical paper has been accepted by Eurocrypt 2021(https://eurocrypt.iacr.org/2021/acceptedpapers.php, https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/540). The Suterusu Protocol has been deployed on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Heco, SmartBCH (BCH sidechain), Theta, etc. We plan to deploy Suterusu protocol on the following smart contract platforms including Near, Solana, Avalanche, Moonbeam, Plasma, Matic, etc. It is also the first privacy project funded by the official Cypherpunk Guild Fund of Near. We are also applying for the Solana and Polkadot ecosystem grant. The Suterusu Protocol intends to build a private payment infrastructure for any cryptocurrency. The Suterusu project has received investment from well-known institutions such as Dialectic (a fund founded by the former Polychain partner Ryan Zurr), Fundamental Labs, FBG, Continue Capital, DeFi Alliance, and other well-known institutions.

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.
