Elastos precioELA $2.04

When it comes to the founders of Elastos, the project originated in the year 2000 when founder Rong Chen worked on operating systems at Microsoft Research. He returned to China to develop his own vision, an operating system designed for the entire web.

Rong Chen was a senior software engineer at Microsoft from 1992 to 2000, after which he founded and was the CTO of Kortide (Beijing), and became the chairman and CEO at Kortide in 2003. In 2017, he became the chairman of the Elastos Foundation.

Later on, when blockchain emerged as a revolutionary technology in 2017, Rong coordinated with Elastos co-founder Feng Han to incorporate blockchain and complete his vision.

Feng Han started out as a mentor at the Tsinghua University, after which he was the principal at the Yuncol School. In 2017 he became the co-founder of Elastos and is currently the founder of MIT IDE Blockchain Pillar and Foundation.

Elastos has four pillars that enable network separation as well as platform flexibility. These are blockchain, runtime, carrier and software development kit or SDK.

The blockchain separates app functionality between the main chain and side chains for each individual application.

The runtime gives you the flexibility to run DApps outside of the Elastos operating system all-together.

The carrier is a peer-to-peer decentralized internet service where you are able to rent out your computational power and storage to other users.

The software development kit connects applications to the Smart Web that is beneficial to non-Elastos applications.

The elastOS application brings the entire decentralized ecosystem into an App.

This flagship product of the Elastos Smartweb has the entire decentralized ecosystem into a single application.

Elastos has a maximum supply of 28,220,000 ELA coins.

Keep in mind that Elastos is actively searching for both new and existing DApp projects throughout its Cyber Republic initiative.

When it comes to the security on the Elastos network, all of the communication on the network is encrypted and authorized by blockchain IDs. These IDs in turn determine how the data is processed and who has access to it. Through this system, only the users can choose if they want to sell their data or preserve their privacy. Through a combination of the Elastos Runtime, DApps are provided with trusted network communication.

This means that Elastos is a decentralized internet and DApp platform that gives you, the user, complete control over your digital assets. It's intended to improve the scalability and flexibility issues of other networks as-well, while it is explicitly built for DApp performance.
