## Что такое OriginTrail (TRAC)?

[OriginTrail](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/origintrail/) - это [web3](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/web-3-0) инфраструктурный проект, объединяющий граф знаний и [блокчейн](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain)-технологии для создания нейтральной, инклюзивной экосистемы. Сеть OriginTrail общедоступная и [с открытым исходным кодом](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/open-source), что повышает прозрачность и безопасность. Одной из основных особенностей OriginTrail является [мультичейн](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/multi-chain) децентрализованный граф знаний - Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG), который работает на трёх блокчейнах: [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/ethereum/), [Polygon](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/polygon/) и [Gnosis](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/gnosis-gno/).

Кроме того, парачейн OriginTrail, компонент блокчейна [первого уровня](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-1-blockchain), построенный для работы с [Polkadot](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/polkadot-new/) relay chain, расширяет возможности DKG. Экосистема призвана способствовать внедрению технологий web3 в реальном мире, особенно в сфере логистики. Его токеномика использует сетевые эффекты, бесшовно интегрируя оба сетевых уровня и инновационные унифицированные локаторы активов (UAL) для повышения обнаруживаемости активов. В целом, OriginTrail стремится использовать возможности партнерских отношений и [интероперабельности](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/interoperability) Polkadot для создания сценариев использования в различных отраслях, включая [DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/defi), залог реальных активов, метавселенную, Интернет вещей ([IoT](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/internet-of-things)) и многое другое.

### Кто создал OriginTrail?

OriginTrail был основан Томажем Леваком (Tomaž Levak, CEO), Жигой Древ (Žiga Drev, COO) и Бранимиром Ракичем (Branimir Rakić, CTO) как платформа для отслеживания продуктов питания. Основатели поняли, что существует недостаток доверия и операционной совместимости в логистических данных, что привело их к разработке децентрализованного решения на основе технологии блокчейн. В 2017 году они провели [ICO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-coin-offering-ico), собрав 22,5 миллиона долларов от многочисленных инвесторов. Затем OriginTrail также получил государственное финансирование от программы Европейского Союза "Горизонт 2020" за активность в нескольких инновационных экспериментах, связанных с безопасностью продуктов питания, цифровизацией сельского хозяйства и экономикой замкнутого цикла.

### Что особенного в OriginTrail?

OriginTrail уникален тем, что объединяет технологию блокчейн с технологией графа знаний для создания децентрализованного графа знаний (DKG), который обеспечивает доверенный обмен данными между различными системами и организациями. DKG соединяет семантически данных в сеть, которую могут искать, проверять и обогащать различные приложения и пользователи. DKG также использует технологию распределенных реестров ([DLT](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/distributed-ledger-technology-dlt)) для гарантии целостности данных, их достоверности и неизменяемости. Она направлена на обеспечение четырех ключевых характеристик: интероперабельности (совместимости), взаимосвязанности, целостности и стимулирования. Протокол OriginTrail является блокчейн-агностичным, то есть он может работать с любой блокчейн-платформой, которая поддерживает [смарт-контракты](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract).

OriginTrail DKG применяется в различных сценариях, которые демонстрируют его ценность и потенциал для многих отраслей и сфер. Вот лишь некоторые их них:

BSI и SCAN используют протокол OriginTrail для обеспечения целостности аудитов безопасности для некоторых крупнейших импортеров США. Протокол помогает проверять соблюдение поставщиками трудовых стандартов и предотвращать мошенничество.

Рынок безопасности продуктов питания использует силу OriginTrail и Big Data для преобразования европейского рынка сертификации продуктов питания. Протокол обеспечивает прозрачный и отслеживаемый обмен данными между производителями продуктов питания, сертификаторами, розничной торговлей и потребителями.

Church of Oak использует децентрализованный граф знаний OriginTrail для гарантии честной торговли органическим вином из Словении. Протокол позволяет прослеживаемость цепочку производства вина насквозь - от винограда до бутылки, а также контроль качества и обратную связь с потребителем.

OriginTrail работает с Polkadot над созданием парачейна, который позволит децентрализованному графу знаний OriginTrail взаимодействовать с другими блокчейнами и приложениями в сети Polkadot. Парачейн - это специализированный блокчейн, который подключается к Polkadot relay chain, обеспечивая безопасность и консенсус для всех подключенных парачейнов. Парачейн OriginTrail позволит OriginTrail использовать масштабируемость, совместимость и возможности управления Polkadot без ущерба для его децентрализации или целостности.

На парачейне OriginTrail появится новый токен под названием OriginTrail Parachain Token (OTP), который будет использоваться для стейкинга, управления и оплаты комиссий. OPT будет распространяться через событие генезиса, которое предполагает блокировку [DOT](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/polkadot-new/) или [TRAC](https://coinmarketcap.com/ru/currencies/origintrail/) на определенный период времени в обмен на OTP. Событие генезиса также поможет OriginTrail выиграть слот в аукционе Polkadot, который определяет, какие проекты смогут запустить парачейны в сети.

### Сколько монет OriginTrail (TRAC) находится в обращении?

У OriginTrail два нативных токена: TRAC и OTP. TRAC - это оригинальный токен OriginTrail, который управляет созданием активов web3-класса на DKG. OTP - это новый токен, который будет использоваться в качестве средства оплаты [газа](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/gas) и [токена управления](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/governance-token) парачейна OriginTrail.

TRAC имеет фиксированное полное предложение в 500 миллионов токенов, из которых 365 миллионов в настоящее время находятся в обращении. Распределение токенов выглядит следующим образом: 35% (продажа токенов); 20% (основатели и команда, право на получение в течение четырех лет с обрывом в один год); 10% (советники и ранние сторонники, право на получение в течение двух лет с обрывом в шесть месяцев); 15% (фонд будущего развития); 10% (фонд развития экосистемы, выделяется постепенно в зависимости от этапов проекта); 10% (резерв юридического лица, заблокирован до января 2025 года).

TRAC можно использовать в качестве средства оплаты услуг по обмену данными в сети OriginTrail. Пользователи, которые хотят публиковать или запрашивать данные на DKG, должны платить TRAC операторам узлов, которые предоставляют ресурсы для хранения и вычислений. Чтобы повысить свою репутацию и зарабатывать больше вознаграждений операторы узлов могут участвовать в стейкинге TRAC. Кроме того, держатели TRAC могут участвовать в принятии управленческих решений посредством моментального голосования.

OTP будет иметь первоначальное полное предложение в 500 миллионов токенов, которые будут распределены следующим образом: 50% (предложение парачейн-лизинга (PLO)); 20% (фонд развития экосистемы); 15% (члены команды и контрибьюторы); 10% (инвесторы); 5% (советники).

График наделения правами OTP будет зависеть от типа распределения и будет раскрыт в будущих объявлениях.

OTP будет иметь ряд преимуществ: обеспечение более быстрых транзакций с меньшими комиссиями по сравнению с Ethereum; повышение безопасности благодаря модели общей безопасности Polkadot; повышение совместимости с другими парачейнами благодаря протоколу кроссчейн коммуникации Polkadot; поддержка мультичейн управления идентификацией благодаря стандарту идентификации Polkadot.

### Как обеспечивается безопасность сети OriginTrail?

OriginTrail использует мультичейн подход для защиты своего протокола. Он подключается к нескольким блокчейнам, на которых размещены смарт-контракты OriginTrail, которые используются для управления отношениями между узлами и реализации бездоверительных протоколов. Он обеспечивает безопасность своего протокола обмена данными с помощью нескольких функций: Криптографические доказательства и подписи для обеспечения целостности и подлинности данных; [доказательства нулевого разглашения](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/zero-knowledge-proof-2) для обеспечения конфиденциальности данных и выборочного раскрытия; децентрализованная сеть узлов, которые хранят и проверяют данные, используя механизмы поощрения и репутации; многоцепочечная совместимость позволяет обмениваться данными между различными блокчейнами.

Centrifuge is a decentralized asset financing protocol. It connects decentralized finance (DeFi) with real-world assets (RWA) while trying to lower the cost of capital for small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) and provide investors with a stable source of income. The main goal of the project is to generate profits that are not tied to volatile crypto assets; the developers are pursuing the task of transferring real monetary value from fiat to cryptocurrencies.

Companies are using Centrifuge to access the liquidity that DeFi has to offer. They can tokenize real assets and use these tokens as collateral to access financing through Tinlake, a decentralized application (DApp) lending protocol. The Centrifuge blockchain is built on Polkadot (DOT) for speed and low fees, while its financial DApp Tinlake is built to access Ethereum (ETH) liquidity.

Centrifuge provides liquidity to everyone and investors receive income and rewards in the form of CFG tokens. Centrifuge links assets such as invoices, real estate and royalties with decentralized finance (DeFi). Additionally, borrowers benefit from the fact that they can finance their real assets without banks or other intermediaries.

Injective is a blockchain built for finance. It is an open, interoperable layer-one blockchain powering next-generation DeFi applications, including decentralized spot and derivatives exchanges, prediction markets, lending protocols and more.

Injective uniquely provides powerful core financial infrastructure primitives that applications can leverage, including a fully decentralized MEV-resistant on-chain orderbook. In addition, all forms of financial markets such as spot, perpetual, futures and options are fully on-chain. The decentralized cross-chain bridging infrastructure is compatible with Ethereum, IBC-enabled blockchains, and non EVM chains such as Solana.

Injective also provides a next-generation, highly interoperable smart contract platform based on CosmWasm, with advanced interchain capabilities. Injective is custom built with the Cosmos SDK and utilizes Tendermint-based Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, providing instant transaction finality with the ability to sustain lightning-fast performance (10,000+ TPS).

The Injective ecosystem includes 100+ projects and over 150,000 community members globally. Injective is backed by a group of prominent investors such as Binance, Pantera Capital, Jump Crypto and Mark Cuban.

Injective’s core exchange module provides state-of-the-art capabilities including an advanced on-chain order book and matching engine for spot, perpetual, futures and options markets, resistance to Miner-Extractable Value (MEV) through frequent batch auction order matching, and zero gas fees for users.

Injective natively uses IBC and is highly-interoperable with multiple layer 1s, including, but not limited to, Polygon and Solana (through an upcoming Wormhole integration). It is also uniquely built to be interoperable with Ethereum, through its own decentralized ERC-20 token bridge, making Injective the first network within the Cosmos ecosystem to natively support Ethereum assets.

Smart contracts are implemented on Injective through CosmWasm, allowing for multi-chain smart contract transactions to occur seamlessly. Injective, however, is the only blockchain that enables automatic smart contract execution. This capability serves as a powerful building block for developers to create novel use cases that would not be possible on any other chain.

The use cases intended for INJ include but are not limited to: protocol governance, dApp value capture, Proof-of-Stake (PoS) security, developer incentives and staking. Further details regarding each of these use cases can be found below:

Protocol Governance: The INJ token governs every single component of Injective, including chain upgrades. Since its mainnet launch, the Injective community has actively contributed to governance, with all proposals passing through a DAO governance vote. The comprehensive governance page is available here.

Protocol Fee Value Capture: 60% of all fees generated from dApps enter an on-chain buy-back-and-burn auction to maintain the deflationary nature of INJ. The burn auction page is available here.

Tendermint-based Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Security: INJ is used to secure the Injective blockchain using a proof-of-stake mechanism. Validators and delegators can both participate in staking.

Developer Incentives: 40% of fees generated by users on dApps built on Injective go directly towards incentivizing new developers building on Injective which brings an ever growing funnel of builders to Injective.

Illuvium is an open-world fantasy battle game built on the Ethereum blockchain. Often touted as the first AAA game on Ethereum, Illuvium looks to provide a source of entertainment to both casual gamers and hardcore DeFi fans through a range of collecting and trading features.

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

The world of Illuvium is inhabited by creatures known as Illuvials, who can be captured by players that best them in battle and nurse them back to health. From then on, they become a loyal part of the player’s collection and can be used when battling other adventurers as part of Illuvium’s auto battler gameplay.

The game is a fusion between an open-world exploration game and a PVP battle game. Players can spend their time exploring the expanses of the game world or building up their team of powerful beasts.

Illuvium has been in development since 2020, and is being built by a worldwide team of more than 40 individuals, including the co-founders; serial entrepreneur and early cryptocurrency adopter Kieran Warwick, and experienced game designer Aaron Warwick, who are brothers. (And who are coincidentally also the brothers of Kain Warwick, the co-founder of DeFi platform Synthetix).

The ILV token has a number of uses within the Illuvium ecosystem. It’s the main token used to reward players for their in-game achievements, entitles players to their share of the Illuvium Vault and is used for participating in the governance of the game via the Illuvium decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying data for networks like Ethereum and IPFS, powering many applications in both DeFi and the broader Web3 ecosystem. Anyone can build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, that applications can query using GraphQL to retrieve blockchain data. There is a hosted service in production that makes it easy for developers to get started building on The Graph and the decentralized network will be launching later this year. The Graph currently supports indexing data from Ethereum, IPFS and POA, with more networks coming soon.

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

To date, over3,000 subgraphs have been deployed by thousands of developers, for DApps like Uniswap, Synthetix, Aragon, AAVE, Gnosis, Balancer, Livepeer, DAOstack, Decentraland and many others. The Graph usage has been growing at over 50% MoM and hit over 7 billion queries during the month of September 2020.

The Graph has a global community, including over 200 Indexer Nodes in the testnet and more than 2,000 Curators in the Curator Program as of October 2020. To fund network development, The Graph raised funds from community members, strategic VCs and influential individuals in the blockchain community including Coinbase Ventures, DCG, Framework, ParaFi Capital, CoinFund, DTC, Multicoin, Reciprocal Ventures, SPC, Tally Capital and others. The Graph Foundation also successfully completed a public GRT Sale with participation from 99 countries (not including the U.S.). To date as of November 2020, The Graph has raised ~$25M.
