## IOST (IOST) क्या है?
 
 IOST खुद को एक "अल्ट्रा-फास्ट," पूरी तरह से विकसित और [विकेंद्रीकृत](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized) [ब्लॉकचेन](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) [नेटवर्क](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/network) और इकोसिस्टम के रूप में अपने स्वयं के नोड्स, [वॉलेट](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/wallets) और "अगली पीढ़ी" [सर्वसम्मति](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus) [प्रोटोकॉल](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/protocol) "प्रूफ-ऑफ-बेलीवाबिलिटी" के रूप में वर्णित करता है।
 
 ### IOST के संस्थापक कौन हैं?
 
 इस प्रोजेक्ट को जनवरी 2018 में जिमी झोंग, टेरेंस वांग, जस्टिन ली, रे जिओ, सा वांग और केविन टैन द्वारा लॉन्च किया गया था।
 
 झोंग ने अमेरिका और चीन में अन्य तकनीकी स्टार्टअप की स्थापना की है। अपने विश्वविद्यालय के दिनों के दौरान, उन्होंने अपनी पहली कंपनी $40 मिलियन में बेची - एक ऐसा बाज़ार जहाँ छात्र क्लास नोट्स का आदान-प्रदान कर सकते थे। उसके बाद, वह बीजिंग लौट आए और अन्य परियोजनाओं के बीच IOST की सह-स्थापना की।
 
 वांग के पिछले अनुभव में उबर में सॉफ्टवेयर इंजीनियर के रूप में काम करना शामिल है। उन्होंने मिनेसोटा विश्वविद्यालय से कंप्यूटर विज्ञान में डिग्री और प्रिंसटन विश्वविद्यालय से कंप्यूटर विज्ञान में स्नातकोत्तर की उपाधि प्राप्त की है।
 
 ली ने पहले गोल्डमैन सैक्स में एक निवेश बैंकिंग सहयोगी और मोबाइक में एक डेटा वैज्ञानिक के रूप में काम किया था। उन्होंने एप्लाइड मैथमेटिक्स और कंप्यूटर साइंस में डिग्री के साथ स्नातक किया। इस बीच, टैन ईथरकैप में सह-संस्थापक थे, जबकि उन्होंने सिंघुआ विश्वविद्यालय से कंप्यूटर विज्ञान में डिग्री प्राप्त की।
 
 जिओ ने डोरा की सह-स्थापना की - जिमी और सा के साथ - एक AI कंपनी जो इंटेलीजेंट कियोस्क पर केंद्रित थी। उन्होंने विश्वविद्यालय में कंप्यूटर साइंस और क्वांटिटेटिव इकोनॉमिक्स का अध्ययन किया।
 
 ### क्या बनता है IOST को सबसे अलग?
 
 IOST का ब्लॉकचेन इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर ओपन-सोर्स है और इसे सुरक्षित और स्केलेबल बनाने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है - सभी इस उम्मीद में हैं कि यह भविष्य में ऑनलाइन सेवाओं के लिए रीढ़ की हड्डी के रूप में काम करेगा।
 
 [नेटवर्क पर लेनदेन](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus) सुरक्षित और कुशल हो यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए टीम ने ["प्रूफ-ऑफ़-बेलीवाबिलिटी"](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/algorithm) सर्वसम्मति [एल्गोरिदम](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/transaction-tx) विकसित किया है।
 
 सबसे बड़ी चुनौतियों में से एक IOST का लक्ष्य केंद्रों को हल करना है कि कैसे बड़ी कंपनियां ग्राहक-सामना करने वाले वातावरण में ब्लॉकचेन को गले लगाने में सक्षम नहीं हो सकती हैं जब तक कि वे स्केलेबल न हों। इंटरनेट ऑफ सर्विसेज टोकन को इस समस्या से निपटने के एक तरीके के रूप में सामने रखा गया है।
 
 IOST को समझने के लिए, इसे करने का सबसे अच्छा तरीका अपने निकटतम प्रतिस्पर्धियों से तुलना करना है: [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/currencies/ethereum) डेवलपर्स के लिए सबसे लोकप्रिय स्मार्ट कॉन्ट्रैक्ट प्लेटफॉर्म है। [इसकी तुलना EOS](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/currencies/eos) और [TRON](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/currencies/tron) से भी की जा सकती है, जो उच्च उपयोग के साथ अत्यधिक स्केलेबल स्मार्ट कॉन्ट्रैक्ट प्लेटफॉर्म हैं।
 
 IOST और इसके प्रतिस्पर्धियों के बीच सबसे बड़ा अंतर यह है कि यह दावा करता है कि यह Ethereum के 20, Tron के 2,000 और EOS के 4,000 की तुलना में प्रति सेकंड 100,000 लेनदेन की प्रक्रिया कर सकता है।
 
 इन लेन-देन की गति तक पहुंचने के लिए, IOST टीम ने एक अनोखा ब्लॉकचेन आर्किटेक्चर बनाया है, जो एक वितरित रैंडमनेस प्रोटोकॉल, एफ्फिसिएंट डिस्ट्रिब्यूटेड शार्डिंग, ट्रांसएपोच, एटमिक्स, प्रूफ-ऑफ-बेलीवाबिलिटी और माइक्रो स्टेट ब्लॉक सहित कई नवाचारों का परिचय और संयोजन करता है।

 ### कितने IOST (IOST) कॉइन प्रचलन में हैं?
 
 IOST की कुल टोकन आपूर्ति 21 बिलियन है। जनवरी 2018 में एक ICO आयोजित किया गया था, जिसमें 40% की बिक्री हुई थी, उस समय लगभग 31.3 मिलियन डॉलर का ETH जुटाया गया था।
 
 शेष के लिए, 35% IOST फाउंडेशन द्वारा बनाए रखा गया है, 12.5% समुदाय के निर्माण के लिए आवंटित किया गया था, 10% IOST टीम में गया था और 2.5% निवेशकों और सलाहकारों को समर्पित था।
 
 ### IOST नेटवर्क कैसे सुरक्षित है?
 
 सैकड़ों आला ब्लॉकचेन के साथ प्रतिस्पर्धा करने के लिए, IOST अपने ब्लॉकचेन की मापनीयता और सुरक्षा में सुधार के लिए अपने प्रूफ-ऑफ-बेलीवाबिलिटी प्रोटोकॉल (PoB) और एफ्फिसिएंट डिस्ट्रिब्यूटेड शार्डिंग(EDS) पर बहुत अधिक निर्भर करता है।
 
 IOST एंटरप्राइज़ उपयोग के लिए बनाया गया है, इसलिए यह Amazon, Google और Facebook जैसी बड़ी तकनीकी कंपनियों द्वारा उत्पादित भारी भार को संभालने में सक्षम होने का दावा करता है। प्रोजेक्ट की सफलता के लिए साझेदारी महत्वपूर्ण प्रतीत हो रही है।
 
 ### आप IOST (IOST) कहां से खरीद सकते हैं?
 
 IOST को Bittrex, CoinEx, Livecoin, Binance और Bitrue जैसे कई एक्सचेंजों में खरीदा जा सकता है।

IOST成立于2017年，得到红杉资本、经纬、甄选等全球一线美元投资机构的支持。

IOST是为在线服务商开发的企业级区块链应用平台。

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.

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.

Ontology

DigiByte (DGB) is an open source blockchain and asset creation platform. Development began in October 2013 and the genesis block of its DGB token was mined in January 2014 as a fork of Bitcoin (BTC).

A longstanding public blockchain and cryptocurrency, DigiByte uses five different algorithms to improve security, and originally aimed to improve on the Bitcoin blockchain’s security, capacity and transaction speed.

DigiByte consists of three layers: a smart contract “App Store,” a public ledger and the core protocol featuring nodes communicating to relay transactions.

DigiByte

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

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

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.

JUST is a popular new decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem built for the TRON blockchain. It is an entire suite of products that are mostly centered around a decentralized stablecoin lending platform known as JustStable.

The platform launched in August 2020 following an initial exchange offering (IEO) on the Poloniex LaunchBase platform earlier that same year, but the native governance token of the platform (JST) has been circulating since May 2020.

It is a two-token ecosystem built around the USDJ and JUST (JST) tokens. USDJ is a multi-collateral stablecoin that has its value pegged to the value of the US dollar (USD), whereas JST has a variety of functions on the platform — paying interest, helping maintain the platform and participating in its governance, helping to set parameters like interest rates (stability fees) and the minimum collateralization ratio.

To obtain USDJ on JUST, traders need to deposit collateral in the form of supported collateral tokens — including TRON (TRX), which are exchanged to PTRX tokens and locked as collateral forming a collateralized debt position (CDP). Depending on the amount of collateral deposited, users can then mint and withdraw USDJ, which must later be repaid to retrieve the initial collateral.

The platform is designed to provide a fair and borderless hub of DeFi products, that any TRON user can access.

JUST

Starting as an open-source project in 2017, IoTeX has built a decentralized platform whose aim is to empower the open economics for machines — an open ecosystem where people and machines can interact with guaranteed trust, free will, and under properly designed economic incentives.

With a global team of over 40 research scientists and engineers, IoTeX has built their EVM-compatible blockchain from scratch using the innovative Roll-DPoS consensus and launched in 2019 April, which has been running by 100+ delegates worldwide and has processed more than 10 million transactions already. On top of the IoTeX blockchain, the team has built the essential blocks of infrastructures to connect with Ethereum, BSC, and Heco blockchains such as ioPay wallet (https://iopay.me/) and ioTube bridge (https://iotube.org/), which serve ten thousands of users. IoTeX helps EVM-based DApps scale without concerning expensive gas fees!

Besides, middleware such as Decentralized Identity, Confidential Computing, and Secure Hardware has been built on top of the IoTeX blockchain. This has enabled the creation of self-sovereign devices such as Ucam, and real-world data oracles like Pebble. Ucam (https://ucam.iotex.io/) has been deployed to over 3000 households (http://iott.network/). Meanwhile, Pebble has been launched to more than 300 developers initially, and enables innovative Dapps to connect the physical world with the crypto world, such as real-world NFTs, weather derivatives and machine learning-as-mining.

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.

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.
