## ICON नेटवर्क (ICX) क्या है?

[ICON नेटवर्क](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/currencies/icon/) दक्षिण कोरिया का एक [लेयर-1](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-1-blockchain) ब्लॉकचेन है। इसकी घोषित विज़न स्वायत्त ऑनलाइन समुदायों और वास्तविक दुनिया के उद्यमों को एक करने के लिए एक इंटरऑपरेबल ब्लॉकचेन नेटवर्क का निर्माण करना है। ICON नेटवर्क फ्रिक्शनलेस वैल्यू एक्सचेंजों को बढ़ावा देकर हाइपरकनेक्टिविटी को आगे बढ़ाकर वास्तविक दुनिया की उपयोगिता प्रदान करने पर ध्यान केंद्रित करता है।

अपने डीसेंट्रलाइज़्ड लेजर पर लेनदेन की पुष्टि करके, ICON बिचौलियों की संख्या को कम कर सकता है और क्रॉस-बॉर्डर इंटरेक्शन को मिटा सकता है। विशेष रूप से, कंपनी डीसेंट्रलाइज़्ड पहचान, डिजिटल प्रमाणपत्र जारी करने, ब्लॉकचेन भुगतान, [डीसेंट्रलाइज़्ड फाइनेंस](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/defi), [non-fungible tokens](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token) और अतिरिक्त उपयोग के मामलों: ई-गवर्नमेंट, चुनाव, डीसेंट्रलाइज़्ड ओरेकल और ई-स्वास्थ्य के उपयोग के मामलों पर ध्यान केंद्रित करती है।

उद्यम अपनाने पर अपना ध्यान केंद्रित करते हुए, ICON दक्षिण कोरियाई कंपनियों और देश के निजी क्षेत्र के साथ कई साझेदारियां हासिल करने में सक्षम रहा है। उदाहरण के लिए, ICONLOOP, दक्षिण कोरिया की एक प्रमुख ब्लॉकचेन टेक्नोलॉजी कंपनी और ICON प्रोजेक्ट में प्राथमिक योगदानकर्ता, कोरिया के सबसे बड़े डीसेंट्रलाइज़्ड आइडेंटिटीसंघ का नेतृत्व करती है। साथ ही, अगस्त 2020 में, देश के जेजू द्वीप ने निजी और सुरक्षित COVID-19 संपर्क ट्रेसिंग के लिए कंपनी का चयन किया। Icon Network के अन्य साझेदारों में दक्षिण कोरिया का दूसरा सबसे बड़ा वाणिज्यिक बैंक शिनहान बैंक और वैश्विक भुगतान और प्रेषण ऐप Paycoin के पीछे की कंपनी Danal Fintech शामिल हैं।

### ICON नेटवर्क के संस्थापक कौन हैं?

ICON नेटवर्क की स्थापना कोरिया की सबसे बड़ी फिनटेक होल्डिंग कंपनी, DAYLI फाइनेंशियल ग्रुप के पूर्व मुख्य रणनीति अधिकारी और तापस मीडिया, एक अमेरिकी डिजिटल सामग्री वितरण मंच के चीफ ऑपरेटिंग ऑफिसर, मिन किम ने की थी। वह बर्कले में कैलिफोर्निया विश्वविद्यालय में हास स्कूल ऑफ बिजनेस के पूर्व छात्र भी हैं। मिन किम ने ICON नेटवर्क के लूपचैन के विकास के पीछे एक दक्षिण कोरियाई सॉफ्टवेयर कंपनी ICONLOOP को इनक्यूबेट किया। कंपनी ICON फाउंडेशन की निगरानी के साथ ब्लॉकचैन का विकास और रखरखाव करती है और इस तरह की अनुमति रहित है, लेकिन पूरी तरह से ओपन सोर्स नहीं है।

### क्या बनता है ICON Network को सबसे अलग?

ICON नेटवर्क दक्षिण कोरिया में हाइपरकनेक्टिविटी के अपने घोषित लक्ष्य को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए कई अलग-अलग उपयोग के मामलों पर ध्यान केंद्रित करता है। एक आइडेंटिटी प्रमाणीकरण और प्रबंधन समाधान Zzeung के माध्यम से डीसेंट्रलाइज़्ड आइडेंटिटीहै। दक्षिण कोरिया में उद्यम ग्राहकों को डीसेंट्रलाइज़्ड आइडेंटिटी सेवाएं प्रदान करने के लिए कंपनी ने दक्षिण कोरिया में वित्तीय सेवा आयोग से एक विशेष लाइसेंस प्राप्त किया। कंपनियां अपने उपयोगकर्ताओं की प्रमाणीकरण जानकारी सुरक्षित रूप से संग्रहीत कर सकती हैं और वित्तीय खाते खोलने के लिए चेहरे की आइडेंटिटी सेवाएं प्रदान कर सकती हैं। डेटा ICON नेटवर्क के माध्यम से सुरक्षित है। डीसेंट्रलाइज़्ड आइडेंटिटी सेवाओं का एक अन्य उदाहरण COVID-19 कांटेक्ट ट्रेसिंग के लिए Zzeung का उपयोग है।

ICON दक्षिण कोरियाई विश्वविद्यालयों को डिप्लोमा और योग्यता प्रमाणपत्र जारी करने के लिए डिजिटल प्रमाणपत्र जारी करने, भंडारण और सत्यापन सेवाएं भी प्रदान करता है। इसके अलावा, कोरिया का सबसे बड़ा ऑनलाइन जॉब सर्च प्लेटफॉर्म ICON द्वारा सुरक्षित डिजिटल सर्टिफिकेट मैनेजमेंट सॉल्यूशन के जरिए आवेदकों की अकादमिक और पेशेवर साख को प्रमाणित करता है।

एक अन्य उपयोग का मामला एक विजिटर चेक-इन और प्रबंधन सेवा है जो ICON नेटवर्क का उपयोग कैफे, रेस्तरां, अस्पतालों और अन्य स्थानों के लिए अद्वितीय विजिटर पास जारी करने के लिए करता है, जिन्हें COVID महामारी के दौरान अपने विजिटर पर नज़र रखने की आवश्यकता होती है।

ICON में एक संपन्न DeFi और NFT इकोसिस्टम भी है जो ऑर्बिट ब्रिज के माध्यम से ईथीरियम नेटवर्क से जुड़ा है, जिससे ईथीरियम आधारित टोकन को ICON में स्थानांतरित किया जा सकता है। अधिकांश DeFi प्रोडक्ट्स ों के विपरीत, ICON पर उपयोगकर्ता अनुभव पर बहुत अधिक ध्यान केंद्रित किया जाता है। उदाहरणों में बैलेंस्ड नेटवर्क, ICON नेटवर्क के लिए स्थिर स्टॉक पेश करने के लिए बनाया गया एक DeFi सहयोग, और ओपन मनी मार्केट, एक उधार और उधार मंच शामिल है।

Ontology is a project designed to bring trust, privacy, and security to Web3 through decentralized identity and data solutions. It is building the infrastructure to provide trusted access to Web3, allowing individuals and enterprises to rest assured that through regulatory compliant digital identity solutions, users and their privacy come first.

The Ontology blockchain is a high speed, low cost public blockchain. It is designed to bring decentralized identity and data solutions to Web3, with the goal of increasing privacy, transparency, and trust. To achieve this, users and enterprises are provided with the flexibility to build blockchain-based solutions that suit their needs, while also ensuring regulatory compliance. Through Ontology’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), Ontology ensures frictionless compatibility with Ethereum, the first step in the creation of the Ontology Multi-Virtual Machine and further interoperability for the chain.

At its launch, Ontology chose to forego the popular initial coin offering (ICO) model in favor of a series of community distributions and airdrops of its ONT cryptocurrency.

This helped to quickly establish both organic price discovery and a passionate community and helped the project to avoid subsequent regulatory scrutiny.

For example, for a brief period any person who signed up for the Ontology newsletter received an airdrop of free 1,000 ONT, which reached a value of $10 per token soon after the token became listed on major exchanges like Binance.

Ontology launched its own MainNet on June 30, 2018 and has been up and running smoothly since.

Qtum (pronounced ‘“quantum”)  is a proof-of-stake (PoS) smart contract open-source blockchain platform and value transfer protocol. It aims to bring together the strengths of Bitcoinand Ethereumin one chain. Qtum is built on Bitcoin's UTXO transaction model, with the added functionality of smart contract execution and DApps. Recently, the platform added support for DeFi applications. As of March 2021, there are more than 20 tokens created on the Qtum blockchain.

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

The project was announced in March 2016 and held an ICO a year after, in March 2017, which brought its founders $15 million USD. The Qtum main chain was released on Sept.13, 2017. Initially, the Qtum coin was issued as a ETH-20 token, but with the launch of the mainnet, it was converted to native blockchain.

Qtum

OMG Network, formerly known as OmiseGo, is a non-custodial, layer-2 scaling solution built for the Ethereum blockchain. As an Ethereum scaling solution, OMG Network is designed to allow users to transfer ETH and ERC20 tokens significantly faster and cheaper than when transacting directly on the Ethereum network.

The network is based on a novel scaling solution called MoreViable Plasma, which uses a sidechain architecture to group several transactions off-chain into a batch, which can then be verified as a single transaction on the Ethereum root chain. According to OMG Network, this technology has the potential to scale Ethereum to thousands of transactions per second (TPS) — instead of the 10 to 14 tps Ethereum 1.0 is currently capable of.

The network is powered by the OMG utility token, which can be used as one of the payment methods for fees on the OMG Network, and will eventually be stakable — helping to secure the network in return for rewards.

OMG Network

NEM is a blockchain platform that was launched in March of 2015. It was one of the pioneers of the cryptocurrency industry, and sought to improve on the imperfections found on other chains at the time. It was one of the first non-turing complete chains to feature user-defined tokens (called mosaics), namespaces, multisignature accounts, and a P2P reputation system based on EigenTrust++. Its most notable contribution to the space is the proof-of-importance consensus mechanism, which sought to reward on-chain activity and deter the concentration of wealth commonly associated with proof-of-stake. Its client, NIS, is written in Java.

NEM has a global community. It sees the most utility as an alternative form of payment for businesses and vendors, and has a variety of social media apps built on top of it in Japan, such as nemgraph, a community-driven owned and operated alternative to Instagram.

In December 2021, NEM was hard forked by a pseudonymous team of cryptocurrency experts and enthusiasts alike. Titled Harlock, this hard fork signaled the community’s intent to take NEM from a shadow of its former self into the world’s leading payments platform for on-chain and off-chain media content.

Zilliqa is a public, permissionless blockchain that is designed to offer high throughput with the ability to complete thousands of transactions per second. It seeks to solve the issue of blockchain scalability and speed by employing sharding as a second-layer scaling solution. The platform is home to many decentralized applications, and as of October 2020, it also allows for staking and yield farming.

Development work officially started on Zilliqa in June 2017, and its testnet went live in March 2018. A little over a year later, in June 2019, the platform launched its mainnet.

The native utility token of Zilliqa, ZIL, is used to process transactions on the network and execute smart contracts.

Zilliqa

0x is an infrastructure protocol that allows users to easily trade ERC20 tokens and other assets on the many different blockchains (including Ethereum) without relying on centralized intermediaries. It is a protocol for decentralized exchange.

0x achieves this decentralized exchange functionality using a collection of open-source, publicly auditable smart contracts that work together to produce a flexible, low-friction trading protocol that developers can easily weave into their products.

The protocol is used by companies building web3 apps such as wallets, DEXes, portfolio trackes, and others. It is a used by hundreds of developers for their projects. The protocol has facilitates over $200B in trading volume since its inception. One can track its usage in its dedicated https://explorer.0x.org/.

The protocol is powered by an ERC20 governance token known as ZRX. ZRX holders can participate in protocol governance, having direct power over protocol changes and its community treasury.

0x Protocol

Billed as "digital money for the modern world," nano is a lightweight cryptocurrency that is designed to facilitate secure, practically instant payments, without fees, and addresses some of the major limitations of both legacy financial infrastructure, and many modern cryptocurrencies.

Development of the project began in 2014 under the name RaiBlocks, and the coin (then termed XRB) launched the following year through a public faucet, which allowed users to claim small amounts of XRB after completing a captcha challenge. Anyone with access to a computer or phone could solve captchas, and be rewarded with RaiBlocks. The number of XRB people received per solved captcha varied over time

RaiBlocks (XRB) was rebranded to Nano in January 2018, with the new name chosen to better represent the speed and simplicity the project offers to users.

It is a peer-to-peer platform that uses a unique block-lattice data structure to allow users to easily transfer value to one another without relying on centralized intermediaries.

Unlike other platforms which typically use the combined proof-of-work of a massive mining network to achieve consensus, nano instead uses a system known as Open Representative Voting (ORV) — which sees account holders vote for their chosen representative, who then work to confirm blocks of transactions securely.

ORV makes Nano extremely energy efficient, positioning it as a more environmentally friendly alternative to proof-of-work (POW)-based cryptocurrencies.

In November, 2021, aiming to bring nano to the real world and to comply with the globally-recognized standards of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) requirements, nano adopted a new ticker and a standard symbol: XNO and Ӿ.

Nano

Tezos is a high-performing blockchain and open-source platform for assets and applications, with a strong focus on code security, on-chain governance, and decentralization. Tezos 2.0, the upcoming step in the evolution of Tezos, aims to improve scalability (via layer 2s), composability, and to implement support to mainstream programming languages (like Javascript, Typescript, Python, and many others).

Initially built with formal verification in mind, the Tezos protocol enables builders to avoid bugs when developing smart contracts, making it particularly suited to applications that require a high degree of security and certainty.

Tezos’ LPoS (Liquid Proof-of-Stake) consensus mechanism enables any stakeholder to take part, directly or by delegation, in the consensus process, and to be rewarded for securing the network. Rather uniquely, Tezos’ on-chain governance system also enables stakeholders to create and vote on protocol upgrade proposals. This pioneering system allows the protocol to self-amend and upgrade itself without leading to a split (or fork) in the blockchain, empowering the community without slowing down innovation.

First proposed in 2014 and launched in 2018, the Tezos Mainnet has a proven track record of running uninterrupted ever since, having earned a strong reputation for technical excellence and a supportive community.

Tezos

Ren (REN) is an open protocol built to provide interoperability and liquidity between different blockchain platforms.

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

Formerly known as Republic Protocol, Ren launched RenVM, its virtual machine mainnet, in May 2020, having completed a $34 million initial coin offering (ICO) in 2018.

The protocol’s native token, REN, functions as a bond for those running nodes which power RenVM, known as Darknodes.

Ren aims to expand the interoperability, and hence accessibility, of decentralized finance (DeFi) by removing hurdles involved in liquidity between blockchains.

Siacoin (SC) is the native utility token of Sia, a blockchain-based distributed, decentralized cloud storage platform. Sia acts as a secure, trustless marketplace for cloud storage in which users can lease access to their unused storage space. Agreements and transactions are enforced with smart contracts, and Siacoin is the medium of exchange for paying for storage on the network. The main goal of the project is to become the "backbone storage layer of the internet."

Sia was originally announced in May 2014 before being revised and re-announced a year later in May 2015. It officially launched in June 2015.

Siacoin

Waves is a multi-purpose blockchain platform which supports various use cases including decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts.

Launched in June 2016 following one of the cryptocurrency industry’s earliest initial coin offerings (ICO), Waves initially set out to improve on the first blockchain platforms by increasing speed, utility and user-friendliness.

The platform has undergone various changes and added new spin-off features to build on its original design.

Waves’ native token is WAVES, an uncapped supply token used for standard payments such as block rewards.

Basic Attention Token, or BAT, is the token that powers a new blockchain-based digital advertising platform designed to fairly reward users for their attention, while providing advertisers with a better return on their ad spend.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Basic Attention Token.

This experience is delivered through the Brave Browser, where users can watch privacy-preserving adverts and receive BAT rewards for doing so. On the other hand, advertisers can deliver targeted ads to maximize engagement and cut down losses due to ad fraud and abuse.

The Basic Attention Token itself is the unit of reward in this advertising ecosystem, and is exchanged between advertisers, publishers and users. Advertisers pay for their advertising campaigns in BAT tokens. Out of this budget, a small portion is distributed to advertisers, while 70% is distributed to users — whereas the intermediaries that typically drive up advertising costs are cut out of the equation to improve cost-efficiency.

Basic Attention Token launched in 2017 following one of the fastest sell-out initial coin offerings (ICOs) of all time, with the platform raising a total of $35 million in under a minute. Since then, it has rolled out its attention-based advertising experience to users in most countries through its Brave Rewards program.

As of November 2020, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada had the most active advertising campaigns.

Basic Attention Token

Holo is a peer-to-peer distributed platform for hosting decentralized applications built using Holochain, a framework for developing DApps that does not require the use of blockchain technology. The goal of Holo is to serve as a bridge between the broader internet and apps built using Holochain, offering an ecosystem and marketplace in which DApps are easily accessible, as they are hosted on the internet by Holo network participants.

The Holo network will be facilitated using a token called HoloFuel, which is actively being tested and will act as an accounting system to pay hosts for their services. In 2018, the project minted an ERC-20 token, HOT — also known as HoloToken — as an "IOU" that will be redeemable for HoloFuel upon launch.

Holo is still in development and is expected to launch for open alpha and beta testing by 2021.

Holo

Bancor is an ecosystem of decentralized, open-source protocols that promote on-chain trading and liquidity.

Its main protocol, Carbon, is a decentralized trading protocol allowing users to perform automated trading strategies using custom on-chain limit orders and range orders, with the option of combining orders together to create automated buy low, sell high strategies.

By design, Carbon orders are irreversible on execution, easily adjustable directly on-chain, and resistant to MEV sandwich attacks. These capabilities give users an unprecedented level of control and automation to perform novel trading strategies on-chain.

Fast Lane, a separate open-source arbitrage protocol, allows any user to perform arbitrage between Bancor ecosystem protocols and external on-chain exchanges and redirect arbitrage profits back to the Bancor ecosystem.

All Bancor ecosystem protocols are governed by the BancorDAO via staked BNT.

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.
