## रेवनकोइन (RVN) क्या है?
 
 रेवनकोइन एक डिजिटल पीयर-टू-पीयर ([पी2पी](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/peer-to-peer-p2p)) नेटवर्क है जिसका उद्देश्य उपयोग के मामलो में विशिष्ट ब्लॉकचैन लागू करना है, जिसे एक विशिष्ट कार्य को कुशलतापूर्वक संभालने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है: एक पार्टी से दूसरी पार्टी तक संपत्ति का हस्तांतरण। [बिटकॉइन](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/currencies/bitcoin/) कोड के एक फोर्क पर निर्मित, रेवेनकोइन की घोषणा 31 अक्टूबर, 2017 को की गई थी और 3 जनवरी, 2018 को खनन के लिए बायनेरिज़ जारी किए गए थे, जिसे एक फेयर लॉन्च कहा जाता है: कोई पूर्व खनन, आईसीओ या मास्टरनोड्स नहीं। इसका नाम एक टीवी शो, "गेम ऑफ थ्रोन्स" के संदर्भ में रखा गया था।
 
 ### रेवनकोइन के संस्थापक कौन हैं?
 
 रेवनकोइन श्वेतपत्र ब्रूस फेंटन, ट्रॉन ब्लैक और जोएल वेट द्वारा प्रकाशित किया गया था।
 
 वे क्रिप्टो भीड़ के बहुमत से अलग हटकर खड़े हैं क्योंकि वे सभी इस परियोजना को शुरू करने से पहले अनुभवी व्यवसायी और डेवलपर्स थे।
 
 फेंटन को क्रिप्टो जगत में 2015 से 2018 तक बिटकॉइन फाउंडेशन के बोर्ड सदस्य और कार्यकारी निदेशक के रूप में जाना जाता है। क्रिप्टो से पहले, उन्होने 90 के दशक में मॉर्गन स्टेनली का उपाध्यक्ष और 13 वर्ष तक अटलांटिस कंसल्टिंग के प्रबंधक वर्ग निदेशक के रूप में काम करा और निवेश बैंकिंग में उनका ठोस करियर रहा। वर्तमान में, वे एक गोपनियता से संबंधित फिनटेक स्टार्टअप चैनस्टोन लैब्स के प्रबंध निदेशक के रूप में काम कर रहे हैं।
 
 ट्रॉन ब्लैक 30 से अधिक वर्षों के अनुभव से लैस एक प्रमुख सॉफ्टवेयर डेवलपर है, उनके अनुभव में सीईओ के रूप में कई सॉफ्टवेयर कंपनियों का नेतृत्व करना शामिल है। वे वेरिफाइड वॉलेट, CoinCPA और t0 सहित कई उपक्रमों पर 2013 से क्रिप्टो में काम कर रहे हैं। वे वर्तमान में मेडिची वेंचर्स के साथ कार्यरत हैं, जो Overstock.com की सहायक कंपनी है, जो ब्लॉकचैन तकनीकी एप्लीकेशन्स पर केंद्रित है।
 
 वेट एक प्रसिद्ध ऑनलाइन रिटेलर, Overstock.com में मुख्य प्रौद्योगिकी अधिकारी हैं। इससे पहले, वे सीओओ और सीटीओ की भूमिकाओं में मेडिची वेंचर्स के साथ भी जुड़े रहे हैं। वे एक अनुभवी सॉफ्टवेयर डेवलपर हैं, जिन्होंने 1998 में यूटा विश्वविद्यालय से डॉटकॉम बबल के ठीक बीच में स्नातक होने के बाद अपना करियर शुरू किया था।
 
 ### वो क्या है जो रेवनकोइन को अद्वितीय बनाता है?
 
 बिटकॉइन कोड का एक फोर्क होते हुए, रेवनकोइन में चार प्रमुख परिवर्तन हैं: संशोधित जारी करने का कार्यक्रम (5,000 RVN के ब्लॉक इनाम के साथ), ब्लॉक समय कम करके एक मिनट किया गया, सिक्का आपूर्ति 21 बिलियन (BTC से दस गुना अधिक) पर सीमित और एक खनन एल्गोरिदम (KAWPOW, पूर्व में क्रमशः X16R और X16RV2) जिसका उद्देश्य ASIC हार्डवेयर के कारण हुए खनन के केंद्रीकरण को कम करना था।
 
 रेवेनकोइन का उद्देश्य ब्लॉकचैन पर संपत्ति हस्तांतरण और व्यापार की समस्या को हल करना है। पहले, अगर कोई बिटकॉइन ब्लॉकचैन पर कोई संपत्ति बनाता था, तो जब कोई इसको बनाने वाले सिक्कों को ट्रेड करता था तो यह गलती से नष्ट हो सकती थी।
 
 RVN सिक्कों को नेटवर्क के भीतर की आंतरिक मुद्रा के रूप में डिज़ाइन किया गया है और रेवेनचैन पर टोकन संपत्ति जारी करने के लिए इसे जलाना पड़ता है। संपत्ति किसी भी चीज का प्रतिनिधित्व कर सकती है: वास्तविक दुनिया की हिरासत की वस्तुएं जैसे सोना या भौतिक यूरो, आभासी सामान और वस्तुएं, स्टॉक और सेक्योरिटीज जैसी परियोजना का एक हिस्सा, एयरलाइन माइल्स या किसी का एक घंटे के वेतन, आदि।
 
 रेवनकोइन प्रोटोकॉल के भविष्य के नियोजित संस्करण एकीकृत संदेश और मतदान प्रणाली का समर्थन करेंगे।

 ### कितने रेवेनकोइन (RVN) सिक्के प्रचलन में हैं?
 
 रेवनकोइन एक नई क्रिप्टोकरेंसी के लिए जितना संभव हो उतना निष्पक्ष और खुला होने पर जोर देता है। इसमें कोई पूर्व खनन नहीं किया गया था, कोई आईसीओ नहीं किया गया था और डेवलपर या संस्थापक पुरस्कारों के लिए कोई सिक्के आवंटित नहीं किए गए थे।
 
 इसकी स्थापना के तीन वर्षों में (मार्च 2021 तक), 39% सिक्कों का पहले ही किया जा चुका है। कुल आपूर्ति 21 अरब सिक्कों पर सीमित है।
 
 ### रेवनकोइन नेटवर्क सुरक्षित कैसे है?
 
 रेवेनकोइन बिटकोइन का एक फोर्क है, इसलिए यह विकेंद्रीकरण और गणित की शक्ति से सुरक्षित है। यह KAWPOW नामक प्रूफ़-ऑफ़-वर्क माइनिंग एल्गोरिथम का उपयोग करता है, जिसने 6 मई, 2020 को X16R और X16RV2 की जगह ले ली। यह न केवल सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित करता है बल्कि इसे ASIC प्रतिरोधी होने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया है।
 
 शुरू में लागू किया गया X16r एल्गोरिथ्म समूह खनन किए गए प्रत्येक ब्लॉक के लिए 16 अलग-अलग हैशिंग एल्गोरिदम का उपयोग करता है, लेकिन जिस क्रम में उनका उपयोग किया जाता है वह प्रत्येक ब्लॉक के लिए अलग होता है और पिछले ब्लॉक के हैश के अंतिम 8 बाइट्स से प्राप्त होता है। यह सोचा गया था कि प्रत्येक चक्र को अनुकूलित करने की आवश्यकता ASICs को CPU और GPU पर कोई बढ़त नहीं देगी। हालांकि, समय के साथ, इसके लिए ASIC बनाए गए, और रेवनकोइन को एक पूरी तरह से अलग एल्गोरिथ्म, KAWPOW का रुख करना पड़ा, जो कि ProgPow का थोड़ा संशोधित संस्करण है, जो स्वयं Ethash का विकास था और GPU पर खनन के लिए अनुकूलित है।
 
 यह, बिना किसी पूर्व-खनन के निष्पक्ष वितरण की प्रतिबद्धता के साथ संयुक्त रूप से यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए है कि किसी भी व्यक्ति या संगठन के पास 51% हमले का प्रयास करने या किसी भी प्रकार का कृत्रिम बाजार मूल्य झटके देने की कोशिश करने के लिए पर्याप्त हैश पावर नहीं होगा।
 
 दुर्भाग्य से, रेवनकोइन ब्लॉकचैन का एक सफल ज्ञात हैक था, जिसके बारे में जनता को 3 जून, 2020 को सूचित किया गया था। हमले के दौरान, हैकर्स ने तुरंत 315 मिलियन RVN सिक्कों का खनन करने में कामयाबी हासिल की, जो कि रेवनकोइन की 21 बिलियन की आपूर्ति कैप का लगभग 1.5% है। घोषणा के समय चोरी हुए RVN की कीमत USD $5.7M आंकी गई थी। मौजूदा सिक्का धारकों में से कोई भी हमले से सीधे प्रभावित नहीं हुआ था।
 
 ### आप रेवनकोइन (RVN) कहां से खरीद सकते हैं?
 
 RVN एक स्वतंत्र रूप से ट्रेड किया जाने वाला सिक्का है, जिसे टीथर (USDT) जैसे स्टेबलकोइन्स, बिटकोइन और एथेरियम जैसी अन्य क्रिप्टोकरेंसी, और फिएट पैसों के बनाम ट्रेड किया जा सकता है।
 
 रेवेनकोइन में ट्रेड के लिए वर्तमान में शीर्ष एक्सचेंज हैं [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/exchanges/binance/), [Huobi Global](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/exchanges/huobi-global/), [OKEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/exchanges/okex/), [ZG.com](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/exchanges/zg-com/) और [VCC एक्सचेंज](https://coinmarketcap.com/hi/exchanges/vcc-exchange/)। [आप हमारे क्रिप्टो एक्सचेंज पेज](https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/) पर अन्य लिस्टेड पा सकते हैं।

Welcome to Ravencoin's Community channel aggregated by CoinMarketCap.

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

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum (ETH) blockchain that launched in July 2015. Its main function is as a smart contract network, with the ability to host and support decentralized applications (DApps). Its native token is ETC.

Since its launch, Ethereum Classic has sought to differentiate itself from Ethereum, with the two networks’ technical roadmap diverging further and further from each other with time.

Ethereum Classic first set out to preserve the integrity of the existing Ethereum blockchain after a major hacking event led to the theft of 3.6 million ETH.

Ethereum Classic

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.

Harmony is a blockchain platform designed to facilitate the creation and use of decentralized applications (DApps). The network aims to innovate the way decentralized applications work by focusing on random state sharding, which allows creating blocks in seconds.

According to the project’s website, Harmony is expected to introduce cross-shard contracts and a cross-chain infrastructure by the end of 2021.

Harmony

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.

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.

Chiliz is the leading digital currency for sports and entertainment by the eponymous Malta-based FinTech provider. It operates the blockchain-based sports entertainment platform Socios, which enables users to participate in the governance of their favorite sports brands. Multiple fan tokens by Socios.com are an example of that. For sports clubs and associations, fan tokens offer a way of connecting with their fans and unlocking new revenue streams.

For instance, fans can participate and influence club-related decisions through surveys and polls, such as messages the captain should wear on his armband. The company aims to bridge the gap between being an active and a passive fan. Chiliz has developed partnerships with some of the biggest sporting institutions in the world: FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Juventus Turin, and Paris Saint-Germain. It also boasts partnerships with the UFC and gaming organizations. By purchasing CHZ, fans get access to various fan tokens and literally have a stake in their club.

Chiliz

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

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.

Qtum

The EOS Network is an open-source blockchain platform that prioritizes high performance, flexibility, security, and developer experience. As a third-generation blockchain platform powered by the EOS virtual machine, EOS has an extensible WebAssembly engine for deterministic execution of near fee-less transactions.

EOS is the market's most scalable, divisible, and programmable digital currency. EOS is a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) network where stakeholders have the authority to select node operators. Due to the decentralized nature of the token distribution on EOS, power doesn't reside in the hands of block miners, but rather all parties involved in the EOS Network.

The EOS Network is attractive because of its technology and community. It allows developers to build projects that other blockchains cannot support. The network is straightforward and has multiple tools and educational resources to help users acclimate to the blockchain.

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

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

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.

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.

Stellar (XLM) is a peer-to-peer (P2P) decentralized network created in 2014 by The Stellar Development Foundation or Stellar.org. The network officially launched in 2015 with the purpose of connecting the world's financial systems and ensuring a protocol for payment providers and financial institutions. The platform is designed to move financial resources swiftly and reliably at minimal cost. Stellar links people, banks, payment processors and allows users to create, send and trade multiple types of crypto.

The basis of the network is its native digital currency - XLM or Lumens. XLM acts as an intermediate currency for operations and is also used to pay transaction fees. How it works: the protocol converts money in a few seconds, first into XLM, and then into the requested currency.

The Stellar payment protocol is based on distributed ledger technology -- an open-source development, community-owned and distributed by community. The crypto asset of the Stellar platform helps with cross-border transactions, overcoming the problems of high fees and slow procedures. XLM is more focused on assisting individuals transfer money than they are with institutions. Thus, Stellar offers access to financial systems, and people can send money at low cost and promptly around the world.

Moreover, Stellar serves as a decentralized exchange and marketplace, with a built-in order book that tracks ownership of Stellar assets. Platform users can manage buy/sell orders, as well as select and set their preferred assets in settlements. XLM is a built-in coin that helps reduce transaction fees.

The network maintains a high level of security.  XLM holders must have at least one token in order to remain active on the network. This nuance performs a global goal - the execution of network transactions efficiently and with minimal time costs. Plus, Lumens offers protection against flood attacks by making microtransactions too expensive for hackers with no chance of profit, which keeps Stellar Network safe from serious threats.

The target audience of Stellar is the inhabitants of developing countries, ordinary users who are provided access to the global economy through fast, simple and inexpensive transactions. Stellar Network makes extensive use of Lumens to produce live convection as well as to send cash in multiple currencies; currency is sent from one peer, and the recipient can receive the amount in another currency. This feature is beneficial when a transaction is made between currencies without widely traded pairs.

Support for multi-currency transactions is another competitive advantage of Stellar, and the ability for cross-currency transactions has only enhanced processes with foreign operations. Moreover, stable speed and low transaction costs are a privilege that users receive.

This functionality is powered by a development called Anchors (a bridge between different currencies and the network), which simplifies the exchange within the network and helps speed up the whole process.

In summary, the benefits of Stellar (XLM) include:

Stellar
