## कोटि (COTI) क्या है?

कोटि खुद को पहले एंटरप्राइज-ग्रेड फिनटेक प्लेटफॉर्म के रूप में पेश करता है जो संगठनों को अपना भुगतान समाधान बनाने के साथ-साथ समय और पैसे बचाने के लिए किसी भी मुद्रा को डिजिटाइज़ करने का अधिकार देता है।

कोटि दुनिया के पहले ब्लॉकचैन प्रोटोकॉल में से एक है जो डीसेंट्रलाइज़्ड भुगतान के लिए अनुकूलित है और व्यापारियों, सरकारों, भुगतान डेऍपस और स्थिर मुद्रा जारीकर्ताओं द्वारा उपयोग के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है।

कोटि पै पहला आवेदन है। यह खुद को ब्लॉकचेन पर पूरी तरह से शामिल वित्त के रूप में वर्णित करता है। कोटि ग्रुप मार्च 2017 में लॉन्च हुआ जबकि स्टेकिंग प्लेटफॉर्म 1 जनवरी, 2020 को लॉन्च हुआ।

यह एक इकोसिस्टम है। जिसे विशेष रूप से पारंपरिक वित्त से जुड़ी सभी चुनौतियों का सामना करने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है, जिसमें विलंबता, शुल्क, वैश्विक समावेश और जोखिम शामिल हैं। यह DAG-आधारित प्रोटोकॉल के साथ-साथ बुनियादी ढांचे की शुरूआत के माध्यम से किया जाता है, जो पूरी तरह से स्केलेबल, निजी, समावेशी और तेज है।

इकोसिस्टम में DAG-आधारित ब्लॉकचेन, प्रूफ-ऑफ-ट्रस्ट सर्वसम्मति एल्गोरिथ्म, मल्टी-डीएजी, GTS (ग्लोबल ट्रस्ट सिस्टम), एक सार्वभौमिक भुगतान समाधान और एक भुगतान गेटवे है।

### क्या कोटि को सबसे अलग बनता है?

जो चीज कोटि को विशिष्ट बनाती है वह है कोटि का प्लेटफॉर्म।

यह प्लेटफॉर्म कंपनियों को आसानी से उन्नत फिनटेक उत्पाद बनाने और समय, डेटा और पैसा बचाने में सक्षम बनाता है। कोटि भुगतान ऑनलाइन भुगतान के साथ-साथ ऑफ़लाइन भुगतान के संदर्भ में हर प्रकार के भुगतान को संसाधित कर सकता है। इसमें क्रिप्टो और स्थिर सिक्के, साथ ही क्रेडिट कार्ड और यहां तक कि देशी सिक्के भी शामिल हैं। इसमें जमा और ऋण पर अर्जित ब्याज के साथ बूट करने के लिए अंतर्निहित वित्तपोषण है। यह व्हाइट लेबल भुगतान नेटवर्क से भी जुड़ता है।

पारंपरिक भुगतान प्रणाली में व्यापारियों और ग्राहकों दोनों पर सालाना आधार पर अरबों डॉलर का खर्च आता है। जैसे, व्हाइट लेबल भुगतान नेटवर्क उपयोगकर्ताओं और व्यापारियों के लिए एक वैश्विक भुगतान नेटवर्क है जो एक डिजिटल वॉलेट, सिक्के और बहुत कुछ में स्वतंत्र रूप से लेनदेन करता है।

कोटि दुनिया का पहला ऐसा प्लेटफॉर्म भी है जो कीमत में स्थिर सिक्कों के निर्माण के लिए अनुकूलित है। जैसे एक उपयोगकर्ता के पास अपना स्थिर सिक्का जारी करने और अपने पैसे और अपने डेटा दोनों पर पूर्ण नियंत्रण हासिल करने की क्षमता होती है।

### कितने COTI (COTI) कॉइन प्रचलन में हैं?

कोटि (COTI) में अधिकतम 2,000,000,000 कोटि सिक्कों की आपूर्ति है।

### कोटि नेटवर्क कैसे सुरक्षित है?

कोटि में एक बुनियादी ढांचा है जो DAG प्रोटोकॉल और उनके ट्रस्ट चेन एल्गोरिथम पर आधारित है। इस बुनियादी ढांचे के ऊपर कोटि एक्स के रूप में जानी जाने वाली सेवाओं की परत है। कोटि एक्स केवाईसी और अनुपालन, इंटरऑपरेबिलिटी एक्सचेंज, खरीदार-विक्रेता सुरक्षा और स्थिरता ढांचे को पेश करता है। फिर आपके पास कोटि-प्ले परत है, जो बाहरी रूप से विकसित स्थिर सिक्के, बाहरी रूप से विकसित भुगतान ऐप और बहुत कुछ प्रदान करती है।

कोटि अपनी डेटा संरचना के रूप में एक हैश तालिका का उपयोग करता है जो की श्रृखंला पर आधारित है। इसका मतलब यह है कि ब्लॉकचेन ही ग्राहकों की कंप्यूटिंग और गोपनीयता को सुरक्षित कर सकता है। कोटि प्रोटोकॉल ने सिस्टम को खरीदारों और विक्रेताओं दोनों के लिए अधिक सुरक्षित बना दिया है।

जैसे कोटि में एक पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र है जो डेटा अखंडता के साथ-साथ गोपनीयता के आसपास मजबूत साइबर सुरक्षा उपाय प्रदान करता है।

कोटि वॉलेट रिएक्ट नेटिव फ्रेमवर्क पर आधारित है और क्रॉस-प्लेटफॉर्म कार्यक्षमता और पोर्टेबिलिटी प्रदान करता है। कोटि वॉलेट को उपयोगकर्ता क्रेडेंशियल की आवश्यकता होती है और नोड मैनेजर के साथ संबंध स्थापित करने के लिए इसे 2FA लॉगिन के साथ जोड़ा जाता है। एक बार यह स्थापित हो जाने के बाद, सभी संचार के लिए वॉलेट के बीज की आवश्यकता होती है। इसका मतलब है कि सभी संदेश मान्य हैं और इस प्रणाली के भीतर कोई स्पूफिंग या हेरफेर संभव नहीं है।

Fantom is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) smart contract platform providing decentralized finance (DeFi) services to developers using its own bespoke consensus algorithm.

Together with its in-house token FTM, Fantom aims to solve problems associated with smart-contract platforms, specifically transaction speed, which developers say they have reduced to under two seconds.

The Fantom Foundation, which oversees the Fantom product offering, was originally created in 2018, with the launch of OPERA, Fantom’s mainnet, coming in December 2019.

Fantom is an open-source decentralized smart contract platform for DApps and digital assets that was created as an alternative to Ethereum. Fantom has the goal of overcoming the limitations of previous generation blockchains and balancing three components: scalability, security and decentralization. The project offers a set of tools to simplify the process of integrating existing DApps, as well as a detailed staking reward system and built-in DeFi instruments.

Fantom is a Layer-1 blockchain that uses a scratch-built consensus mechanism and independent consensus layer, Lachesis, to facilitate DeFi and related services on the basis of smart contracts. Lachesis provides security for other layers as well, including Opera, Fantom's EVM-compatible smart contract chain. The long-playing mission of the project is to “grant compatibility between all transaction bodies around the world.”

One of Fantom's key strengths is its performance and efficient transaction processing, namely thousands of transactions per second, where transactions are settled in 1-2 seconds, and the cost is fractions of a cent per transaction. As a result, Fantom provides higher scalability but at a lower cost.

The ecosystem is based on two main technologies: Lachesis protocol and Opera.

The Lachesis protocol is the core consensus layer that secures the Fantom network by providing both transaction speed and security.

Lachesis is an aBFT consensus engine that uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) algorithm. How it works: network data can be processed at different times, and the network filters the participants, allowing only one third, which are allocated due to erroneous or malicious behavior, without compromising network processes.

Fantom's Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism maintains the efficiency of the entire network, its design provides security at maximum speed. Fantom developers emphasize that the PoS mechanism is a leaderless phenomenon — there are no leaders of blocks and participants, and anyone can join (or leave) the network of nodes at a convenient moment.

The key qualities of Lachesis are: asynchronous, leaderless, Byzantine fault-tolerant, and near-instant finality.

As for Opera, it's an application development layer or Fantom's mainnet deployment platform, permissionless and open-source hosting DApps. Thanks to EVM integration and support for the Solidity programming language, Fantom has a full set of smart contract capabilities, which allows users to seamlessly interact with Ethereum platforms while maintaining the advantage of Fantom's transaction efficiency.

The Fantom Foundation concluded that removing block leaders improves network security, so Opera uses a PoS model and leaderless validators (validators do not determine which blocks are valid).

In addition to being a fast, secure and cheap payment platform that enables to make fast and secure payments at minimal cost, Fantom also features on-chain governance where users vote with FTM tokens (one token equals one vote). Of the features: users have the right to express the degree of agreement / disagreement on a scale from 0 to 4.

FTM is the native utility in-house PoS token of Fantom that powers the ecosystem and is applied for payments, network fees, staking, and governance. FTM forms the backbone of transactions, and allows fee collection and staking activities, along with the user rewards the latter represents.

Fantom

Enjin Coin is a project of Enjin, a company that provides an ecosystem of interconnected, blockchain-based gaming products. Enjin's flagship offering is the Enjin Network, a social gaming platform through which users can create websites and clans, chat, and host virtual item stores.

Enjin allows game developers to tokenize in-game items on the Ethereum blockchain. It uses Enjin Coin, an ERC-20 token, to back the digital assets issued using its platform, meaning that items can be bought, sold and traded with real-world value.

Enjin Coin was first announced in July 2017, and it launched on the Ethereum mainnet in June 2018.

Enjin Coin (ENJ) is a digital store of value used to back the value of blockchain assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Every asset minted with the Enjin Platform contains ENJ, a minting resource which is locked inside NFTs and removed from circulation. Minting blockchain assets with ENJ provides a variety of benefits to creators and users:

Infuses them with a reserve value

Ensures their transparency and scarcity

Gives them instant liquidity

Provides utility in games and apps

Anti-inflationary

Enjin's "melting" functionality allows users to destroy their blockchain assets at any time to retrieve the ENJ value from within.

The Enjin blockchain ecosystem aims to offer software products that make it easy for everyone to develop, trade, monetize, and market with blockchain.

Founded in 2009, Enjin has roots in the gaming industry, with the company’s first product, a gaming community platform called the Enjin Network, growing to 20 million users over the course of a decade.

In 2017 following an ICO, Enjin established itself as a leading blockchain ecosystem developer, building a suite of software products that enable anyone to easily mint, manage, trade, distribute, and integrate blockchain assets.

Enjin’s co-founder Witek Radomski wrote the code for one of the first ever non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and is also the co-author of the ERC-1155 Ethereum token standard.

Built on top of an on-chain infrastructure, the Enjin ecosystem enables game developers and businesses of all sizes to use tokenized digital assets as part of their acquisition, retention, engagement, and monetization strategies. The Enjin ecosystem is fueled by Enjin Coin (ENJ), a cryptocurrency used to back the value of blockchain assets.

Decentraland (MANA) defines itself as a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to create, experience, and monetize content and applications.

In this virtual world, users purchase plots of land that they can later navigate, build upon and monetize.

Decentraland was launched following a $24 million initial coin offering (ICO) that was conducted in 2017. The virtual world launched its closed beta in 2019 and opened to the public in February 2020. Since then, users have created a wide range of experiences on their parcels of LAND, including interactive games, sprawling 3D scenes and a variety of other interactive experiences.

Decentraland uses two tokens: MANA and LAND. MANA is an ERC-20 token that must be burned to acquire non-fungible ERC-721 LAND tokens. MANA tokens can also be used to pay for a range of avatars, wearables, names, and more on the Decentraland marketplace.

Decentraland (MANA) is a decentralized virtual world platform with software based on the Ethereum blockchain, where users create, test and monetize content. In short: users buy virtual plots of land as NFTs with MANA tokens on the Decentraland platform. Progress in the game depends only on players themselves, their efforts and their imagination.

The digital platform is completely owned by its users. Within the Decentraland metaverse, participants can explore the virtual world, purchase plots of land that can be monetized, create works of art, own non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and take part in a decentralized autonomous organization of the platform Decentraland DAO. Due to the DAO, the community influences the development vector of the project.

In addition, users have access to interactive applications, in-world payments and peer-to-peer communication. The 3D world resonates with many participants as Decentraland has many applications, both entertainment for gamers and business for investors.

Two types of tokens called MANA and LAND govern operations in Decentraland. They also allow users to interact with the platform.

MANA is the official currency of Decentraland. It’s an ERC-20 standard token that powers the Decentraland platform. With MANA, users can purchase plots of LAND, as well as pay for in-game items and services.

MANA gives its holders the right to vote in Decentraland DAO. MANA can be purchased on a cryptocurrency exchange or by selling collectibles on Decentraland Marketplace. The owner of tokens converts them to wrapped MANA, or wMANA, and then commits them to the DAO. One wMANA equals one vote. MANA can be exchanged for fiat currency and other digital assets.

As for LAND, it’s a non-fungible token (NFT) based on Ethereum (ETH). It is used to track ownership of land parcels aka digital real estate. Like MANA, LAND is part of the protocol and confers voting rights, but LAND does not need to be fixed in the DAO. One LAND is equal to two thousand votes.

Players choose what to do with their land. Owners store tokens in crypto wallets and buy necessities with MANA tokens on the Decentraland Marketplace. Moreover, on the marketplace, participants can manage or exchange LAND tokens (priced in MANA). Holders use the marketplace to transact or transfer in-game items. All transactions are conducted, regulated and registered via the Ethereum blockchain.

Decentraland combines an online gaming space and blockchain technology. All control over the rules is given to the players, and token holders vote on in-game and organizational policies. The original goal was to form a decentralized virtual reality, but in practice, Decentraland has turned into a massive NFT market.

A special role in Decentraland is assigned to NFTs, such as collectibles, virtual equipment and real estate (LAND). However, for new players who want to join the universe and seize NFTs, the entry barrier will be high.

The Decentraland protocol is built on three levels using Ethereum smart contracts. On the consensus layer, the ownership of LAND is tracked and managed. The land content layer displays the content of the Decentraland virtual world. Finally, on the real-time layer, participants interact with each other.

The platform was co-founded by two blockchain experts, Ari Meilich and Esteban Ordano, in 2015. Officially it was launched a year later and became available only in February 2020, gradually turning from a 2D experiment into a full-fledged 3D world.

To sum up, Decentraland is a decentralized game and a 3D virtual reality platform where players own lands and create limitlessly. Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) software is at the core, and governance is in the hands of the community. Through the native token MANA, players participate in any proposals for managing and improving the ecosystem, the auction system, and the in-game policy.

Decentraland

Audius is a decentralized music streaming protocol initially built on POA network, but now living on Solana.

Launched in 2011 by Pixowl, The Sandbox is a blockchain-based virtual world allowing users to create, build, buy and sell digital assets in the form of a game. By combining the powers of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the Sandbox creates a decentralized platform for a thriving gaming community.

According to the official whitepaper, the Sandbox platform’s main mission is to introduce blockchain technology in mainstream gaming successfully. The platform focuses on facilitating a creative “play-to-earn” model, which allows users to be both creators and gamers simultaneously. The Sandbox employs the powers of blockchain technology by introducing the SAND utility token, which facilitates transactions on the platform.

The Sandbox

MultiversX is a blockchain protocol that offers true horizontal scalability by using all aspects of sharding (Network, Transaction & State). The project describes itself as a technology ecosystem for the new internet, which includes decentralized finance, real world assets and the Metaverse. Its smart contracts execution platform is reportedly capable of up to 100,000 transactions per second, 6-second latency and a $0.002 transaction cost.

MultiversX is governed and secured through the EGLD token. EGLD, or Electronic Gold, is MultiversX's native token. It acts as a store of value currency to pay for network usage. The coin also serves as a medium of exchange between platform users and validators. Users pay transaction fees in EGLD and validators participate in the consensus process.

EGLD allows developers to deploy smart contracts, protocols, and dApps on the platform. It empowers participants to perform any network action. Through staking and validation rewards, as well as transaction fees, EGLD manages the MultiversX network. Plus, EGLD is endowed with the functionality of a governance token, so its holders can vote on network decisions.
