## Что такое NEM (XEM)?

NEM (New Economy Movement) — это экосистема платформ, которые используют [блокчейн](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) и криптографию для предоставления сервисов для бизнеса и частных лиц. XEM - это собственная криптовалюта публичного блокчейна NEM1 NIS1.

NIS1 работает аналогично Bitcoin ([BTC](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/bitcoin/)): он имеет сеть распределенных независимых узлов, которые обрабатывают и записывают транзакции в публичный реестр, называемый «цепочкой блоков» (блокчейн). Эти узлы поощряются за вклад своего времени и вычислительных ресурсов и остаются неподкупными за счет вознаграждений за транзакционные сборы; эти вознаграждения выплачиваются в монетах XEM каждому узлу, которому удается добавить новый блок транзакций в конец цепочки блоков.

Однако блокчейн NIS1 имеет ряд уникальных особенностей, которые отличают его от Bitcoin и большинства других криптовалют.

Альфа версия NIS1 — или NEM, как она тогда называлась — была запущена 25 июня 2014 года, а ее основная сеть (mainnet) была запущена 31 марта 2015 года.

### Кто создал NEM?

Первоначально NEM был создан тремя разработчиками, известными под своими псевдонимами на форуме Bitcointalk.org: Jaguar0625, BloodyRookie и gimre. С момента своего создания в 2014-2015 годах NEM выросла из личного проекта трех программистов в большую экосистему, состоящую из нескольких платформ.

Общее развитие и продвижение NEM в настоящее время осуществляет фонд NEM Foundation, зарегистрированный в Сингапуре. Членами-основателями фонда являются Эрик Ван Химберген (Erik Van Himbergen), Джефф Макдональд (Jeff McDonald), Лон Вонг (Lon Wong) и Леон Йео (Leon Yeoh).

Эрик Ван Химберген — предприниматель из Бельгии. Он изучал экономику бизнеса в университете KU Leuven, бухгалтерский учет и корпоративные финансы в Школе менеджмента EHSAL и разработку программного обеспечения в Университете Антверпена. Помимо соучреждения NEM Foundation — который он покинул в апреле 2020 года — Ван Химберген основал консалтинговую и сервисную компанию Manitpro BV IT.

Джефф Макдональд получил степени в области психологии и религиоведения в Государственном университете Оклахомы и Канзасском университете соответственно. Макдональд работал над NEM в основной команде проекта еще до его запуска. До прихода в NEM он был доцентом в Университете Кемён (Keimyung University) в Южной Корее.

Лон Вонг, австралийский предприниматель, получил образование в области электротехники в Университете Нового Южного Уэльса (University of New South Wales). Покинув NEM Foundation в апреле 2018 года, Вонг возглавил две компании, в которых он сам стал соучредителем: блокчейн сервис Dragonfly Fintech и блокчейн платформу для разработки инфраструктуры ProximaX.

#### Что особенного в NEM?

XEM — это децентрализованная открытая криптовалюта, которая обладает рядом уникальных характеристик.

Возможно, наиболее важной из них является способ защиты блокчейна NIS1. NIS1 использует собственный алгоритм доказательства важности (proof-of-importance, PoI) — в отличие от гораздо более распространенных алгоритмов [proof-of-work и proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) — с целью обеспечения своевременной и подлинной обработки и регистрации транзакций в сети.

Proof-of-importance позволяет каждому запускать узел в сети NIS1 и ускорять транзакции с помощью процесса, называемого «делегированный харвестинг». Система учитывает количество монет, которые уже удерживаются каждым узлом, как часто они совершают транзакции в сети и с кем они совершают транзакции, чтобы приблизительно определить их «оценку важности» в экономике NEM. На основе этой оценки узлы затем получают долю комиссионных от транзакций, которые они помогли обработать.

NEM утверждает, что система proof-of-importance гарантирует, что сеть может идентифицировать и предоставлять вознаграждение тем, кто на самом деле использует ее больше всего.

В дополнение к своему уникальному алгоритму PoI, NIS1 также поддерживает такие функции, как контракты на учетные записи с несколькими подписями (multisignature account contracts), зашифрованный обмен сообщениями, систему репутации Eigentrust ++ и сервис Apostille для нотариального заверения и проверки подлинности файлов в цепочке блоков.

Еще одним важным рынком для NIS1 являются сервисы корпоративного уровня: NEM позволяет разработчикам интегрировать свою блокчейн инфраструктуру в сторонние приложения с помощью специально созданной системы API.

#### Сколько монет NEM (XEM) находится в обращении?

Общий объем выпуска XEM составляет 8,999 миллиарда монет, и все они были созданы с момента запуска сети — новые XEM нельзя получить при помощи майнинга. Узлы сети поощряются за обработку транзакций за счет распределения комиссий за транзакции, которые включены в каждый новый блок.

### Как обеспечивается безопасность сети NEM?

Для защиты своей сети NEM использует систему подписи с открытым ключом Ed25519 и хэш-алгоритм SHA3.

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.

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.

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.

Dash is an open-source blockchain and cryptocurrency focused on offering a fast, cheap global payments network that is decentralized in nature. According to the project's white paper, Dash seeks to improve upon Bitcoin (BTC) by providing stronger privacy and faster transactions.

Dash, whose name comes from "digital cash," was launched in January 2014 as a fork of Litecoin (LTC). Since going live, Dash has grown to include features such as a two-tier network with incentivized nodes, including "masternodes," and decentralized project governance; InstantSend, which allows for instantly settled payments; ChainLocks, which makes the Dash blockchain instantly immutable; and PrivateSend, which offers additional optional privacy for transactions.

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.

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

IOTA is a distributed ledger technology (DLT) that features unique architecture and an open-source product suite for individuals, businesses, and institutions to use in Web3. It is built on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) called the Tangle, which can be pictured as a multi-dimensional blockchain. It enables the exchange of data and value on a decentralized platform through direct and secure transfers, executed on and immutably recorded on the network.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive into IOTA.

Together with its staging network Shimmer, IOTA aims to offer solutions to establish a secure and permissionless infrastructure that can drive the economy of the future. It enables the development of decentralized applications through automated trust in the form of Ethereum-compatible smart contracts, an advanced consensus algorithm, and thoughtfully balanced incentives.

IOTA delivers tools for creating and managing custom Layer 2 (EVM) chains, deploying smart contracts, minting native tokens and NFTs with distinctive features, and introducing digital identities to users.

Launching in 2024, IOTA 2.0 will be a protocol upgrade that rebuilds IOTA’s architecture to deliver full decentralization. You can find more about it here.

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.

Zcash is a decentralized cryptocurrency focused on privacy and anonymity. It uses the zk-SNARK zero-knowledge proof technology that allows nodes on the network to verify transactions without revealing any sensitive information about those transactions.

Contrary to a common misunderstanding, the majority of cryptocurrencies on the market, including Bitcoin (BTC), are not anonymous, but rather pseudonymous; while they do not explicitly reveal the identities of their users, each user has their own public address or addresses which can be traced back to them via the methods of data science and blockchain forensics.

Zcash transactions, on the other hand, still have to be relayed via a public blockchain, but unlike pseudonymous cryptocurrencies, ZEC transactions by default do not reveal the sending and receiving addresses or the amount being sent. There is an option, however, to reveal this data for the purposes of auditing or regulatory compliance.

Zcash was first released on October 28, 2016, and it was originally based on Bitcoin’s codebase.

Ravencoin is a digital peer-to-peer (P2P) network that aims to implement a use case specific blockchain, designed to efficiently handle one specific function: the transfer of assets from one party to another. Built on a fork of the Bitcoin code, Ravencoin was announced on Oct. 31, 2017 and released binaries for mining on Jan. 3, 2018 with what is called a fair launch: no premine, ICO or masternodes. It was named in reference to a TV show Game of Thrones.

Ravencoin

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.

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.
