## Who Are the Founders of Archethic (UCO)?

Archethic was founded by a team of French financial professionals and computer science experts. CEO Sebastien Dupont spent over ten years as Head of Mobile Banking in Africa and Deputy Director of Group Identity at French mobile operator Orange. COO Nilesh Patankar previously worked as Director of Payments Technology at Barclays and VP of Product Development and Innovation at Mastercard. The team is further composed of researchers from École Polytechnique in Paris and professionals with work experience at renowned companies like Mozilla, Google, and PwC. Furthermore, it has partnerships with HEC Challenge+ and a number of French accelerators, including the École Polytechnique X-UP accelerator.

## What Makes Archethic (UCO) Unique?

Archethic has developed a proprietary and patented consensus mechanism called ARCH that allows the Archethic blockchain to be employed for several use cases. A first on the market, Archethic claims to provide tamper-proof biometric authentication, enabling the blockchain to be used for decentralized identity verification. This could be, for instance, used to provide access to major public events or communication without ever having to reveal the details of our identity. The biometric data from inside your finger will generate several cryptographic keys that will never be disclosed and from which our digital identity will be encrypted. In this way, Archethic aims to achieve mass adoption of its blockchain.

Furthermore, Archethic claims to be able to integrate different services like payments, inventory management, data storage and security, and a heap of others natively. This would do away with the siloed structure of current services, where separate companies provide distinct services in traditional server-client relationships. By having oracles natively integrated within its ecosystem, as opposed to external services as is currently the case, Archethic could be utilized in fintech and health, to enable biometric payments and secure medical records.

## How Is the Archethic Network Secured?

Archethic uses its proprietary ARCH consensus mechanism, which is similar to the consensus mechanism due to its treatment of transactions as atomic units. Mining is based on cryptographic verification to validate and secure the origin of a transaction (biometric devices, smartphones, hardware or software keys). Thus, only 197 miners are required to validate transactions. Anyone can own a storage node, but the network chooses which miners get to validate transactions in a fair and geographically distributed way. Early investors have preferential treatment to be chosen as miners. 

Since transactions are chained together individually, each transaction chain will be stored in a reproducible and ordered way on a set of nodes. Therefore, each node will independently know all the nodes hosting a given transaction and, thus, will be able to relieve the network by interrogating only the closest "elected" nodes. This makes the system geo-secure and capable of self-repair.

Nervos Network (CKB) is an open-source public blockchain ecosystem. Its goal is to create a peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto-economy network where users can access a wide range of provably secure blockchain services and capabilities.

The Nervos mainnet launched in November 2019 with a novel dual-layer architecture. There’s a base layer where the consensus mechanism operates and smart assets are stored, and a computation layer where transactions are processed.

The base layer, also known as the Common Knowledge Base, has its own cryptocurrency called CKByte (CKB). It uses the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism and drives the Nervos ecosystem. It is used to pay miners for keeping the network safe, managing network resources, and letting users store things on the network.

The Nervos Network allows developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) that can operate on various blockchain systems. Any of the network layers can be used to run both decentralized apps and smart contracts.

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.

Centrifuge is a decentralized asset financing protocol. It connects decentralized finance (DeFi) with real-world assets (RWA) while trying to lower the cost of capital for small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) and provide investors with a stable source of income. The main goal of the project is to generate profits that are not tied to volatile crypto assets; the developers are pursuing the task of transferring real monetary value from fiat to cryptocurrencies.

Companies are using Centrifuge to access the liquidity that DeFi has to offer. They can tokenize real assets and use these tokens as collateral to access financing through Tinlake, a decentralized application (DApp) lending protocol. The Centrifuge blockchain is built on Polkadot (DOT) for speed and low fees, while its financial DApp Tinlake is built to access Ethereum (ETH) liquidity.

Centrifuge provides liquidity to everyone and investors receive income and rewards in the form of CFG tokens. Centrifuge links assets such as invoices, real estate and royalties with decentralized finance (DeFi). Additionally, borrowers benefit from the fact that they can finance their real assets without banks or other intermediaries.

In a nutshell, Cosmos bills itself as a project that solves some of the “hardest problems” facing the blockchain industry. It aims to offer an antidote to “slow, expensive, unscalable and environmentally harmful” proof-of-work protocols, like those used by Bitcoin, by offering an ecosystem of connected blockchains.

The project’s other goals include making blockchain technology less complex and difficult for developers thanks to a modular framework that demystifies decentralized apps. Last but not least, an Interblockchain Communication protocol makes it easier for blockchain networks to communicate with each other — preventing fragmentation in the industry.

Cosmos’ origins can be dated back to 2014, when Tendermint, a core contributor to the network, was founded. In 2016, a white paper for Cosmos was published — and a token sale was held the following year. ATOM tokens are earned through a hybrid proof-of-stake algorithm, and they help to keep the Cosmos Hub, the project’s flagship blockchain, secure. This cryptocurrency also has a role in the network’s governance.

Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that is able to take real-world data and supply it to on-chain applications, while also connecting APIs to smart-contracts to facilitate the exchange of information between on-chain and off-chain data sources.

By supplying reputable, verifiable real-world data to blockchains, Band Protocol unlocks a range of new use cases for developers to explore — since they can now use any type of real-world data as part of their decentralized application (DApp) logic, including sports, weather, random numbers, price feed data and more.

Band Protocol initially launched as an ERC-20 project on the Ethereum blockchain in September 2019, but transitioned to the Cosmos network in June 2020 with the release of Band Protocol 2.0. The new protocol is built on BandChain using the Cosmos SDK. Oracle nodes on BandChain not only relay data but are also involved in block production/validation, giving them a dual role.

BAND is the native token of the Band Protocol ecosystem and is used as collateral by validators involved in fulfilling data requests, as well as the main medium of exchange on BandChain — being used to paying for private data.
