What Is PIVX (PIVX)?
--------------------

Protected Instant Verified Transaction (or eXchange) (PIVX), launched January 30th, 2016, is a decentralized, MIT licensed open-source, fair-launch blockchain/cryptocurrency project managed, developed, governed, and stewarded by a community driven decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). It has been designed, engineered, and tested using advanced cryptography protocols to provide, first and foremost, user Financial Data Protection.  PIVX is Financial Data Protection.

While PIVX is based on Bitcoin's codebase fundamentally, it has undergone significant custom developments and integrations. PIVX uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus protocol with its native cryptocurrency, denominated as "PIV". PIVX in many ways has continued to pioneer the Proof of Stake consensus algorithm. PIVX's advanced PoS is enriched with the Time Protocol v2 as well as the Cold Staking functionality which ensures higher security for coin owners and possibility to secure the network and receive staking rewards while coins are being cold stored offline on a hardware wallet.

The PIVX user's financial data protection is secured through a highly customized, open-source implementation of the vetted academic anonymity protocol zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive argument of knowledge (zk-SNARKs) Sapling. All of the user's transactional activities are protected by this protocol, called SHIELD.

PIVX is also fully compliant with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CFT) requirements governed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). These regulatory bodies maintain regulation and laws concerning the use, transmission, and legality of digital assets and the associated data required to use them.

PIVX integrates other features including a 2nd layer of functionality through a Masternode network that provides a decentralized governance mechanism of voting; and is currently developing new features for this layer such as the Deterministic Masternode Lists, Long Living Masternode Quorums (LLMQs) and more, as well as including the addition of the anonymity protocol zk-SNARKs Sapling to staking and masternodes---all of these heavily customised.

All the PIVX supply occurs as a direct result of a static/fixed block emission rate plus any monthly budget allocation payouts. PIVX also has a dynamically calibrated coin-supply restrained by burning 100% of the transaction fees on the network. PIVX is an independent, application and payment agnostic blockchain. PIVX uses its native cryptocurrency (PIV) as both a means of rights-preserving, privacy enabling, near instant digital currency exchange as well as the reward for those who help secure, build, decentralize, and govern the PIVX network protocol. PIV is purchased and/or obtained to be held or staked (hot or cold) or locked in masternodes by individuals who want to participate in the network.

The monetary policy of PIVX is designed to enable a sustainable infrastructure service capable of supporting scalable, decentralized, and resilient node infrastructure, allowing for instant, private transactions globally, without astronomical Quantitative Easing (QE) and the corresponding resulting devaluation of the native coin, as experienced in other cryptocurrency endeavors.

PIVX as a DAO utilizes a decentralized network of masternodes that allow running various apps and services, treasury management, and community governance. PIVX has a built-in governance mechanism which allows masternode owners to vote for or against any submitted proposal.

What Makes PIVX Unique?
-----------------------

PIVX is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that is self-funded and community-driven.

PIVX has the ability to perpetually self-fund development and other PIVX network supporting activities through monthly treasury payouts, which are based on successfully voted community proposals.

PIVX burns 100% of all transaction fees.

PIVX is a pioneer in Proof of Stake Privacy/User Data Protection.  It only requires 1 PIV to stake.

PIVX Utilizes a Tier Two layer to it's network, deploying masternodes to help participate in the governance. Running a masternode requires 10,000 PIV.

PIVX lays claim to numerous cryptocurrency and blockchain firsts, including:

-   First Proof of Stake project with Masternodes 

-   First Proof of Stake project with Blockchain based governance 

-   First Proof of Stake project with blockchain based community self-sustainable funding 

-   First Proof of Stake coin to Control Inflation by burning all the transaction fees

-   First Proof of Stake project to implement the Zerocoin protocol 

-   First Crypto project to have its main website natively translated to 30+ languages

-   First Proof of Stake project to implement private staking

-   The first-ever successful implementation of zk-SNARKs based Sapling privacy protocol on Proof of Stake blockchain

PIVX Origins and Founders
-------------------------

PIVX was announced on bitcointalk.org on November 25th, 2015. On January 30th, 2016 at 04:10:07 UTC  the first block of the PIVX network was created.

While the initial idealization of PIVX was originated by three individuals (Coin-Server, s3v3nh4cks, and Stakebox), the development and direction of the project remained stewarded and directed by the community. That being said, none of the initial founders have been active since late 2018.

The development since 2018 has been spearheaded by three core blockchain developers (Fuzzbawls, Furzy, and Random.Zebra) with over 20 years of combined blockchain development.  Their combined efforts has continuously placed PIVX in the top 10 most actively developed blockchain projects according to messari and cryptomiso.  The rest of the PIVX ecosystem ranging from marketing, web development, business development, and social media has been actively overseen by other members of the community, many of whom have been involved since PIVX's inception.

How Many PIVX Coins Are In Circulation?
---------------------------------------

PIVX creates a new block every 60 seconds. Each of these blocks create 5 new PIV, and allocates 1 new PIV.  What does 'allocate' mean? To understand that, the PIVX governance model needs to be understood.

The PIVX governance model is a system that allows for funding to be generated for community proposals.  Proposals are submitted to the system by the community, and they are voted on once a month. Those proposals that "pass" are issued the funds they have requested.  This fund issuance occurs in a "Super Block", which occurs every 30 days.  The available funds for each Super Block equals the number of blocks since the last Super Block, times the number of PIV allocated for the Super Block from each block.   The math here is fairly simple, especially since this is where the one 'allocated' PIV comes into play.  One PIV per block, and one block every minute, for 24 hours for 30 days works out to be 30 days x 24 hours a day x 60 minutes per hour x 1 PIV per block.  30x24x60x1 = 43,200 PIV allocated to the Treasury per Super Block.  This forms the "budget" available for the proposals.

It is possible that exactly 43,200 PIV can fund passing proposals, with nothing remaining. But, this is rare.

Most of the time, a very high percentage (Usually 95% or more) of the allocated 43,200 PIV is created to fund proposals. As such, it is reasonable  to estimate inflation to be based on 6 PIV per block being created. However, it is important to realize this is not exact. It is also important to realize that the PIV for Treasury funds is created at the Super Block, whereas the other 5 PIV is created with each standard block.

Reward Distribution
-------------------

-   2 PIV per block is created and paid to the staker that wrote the block.

-   3 PIV per block is created and paid to the next masternode in the payment queue.

-   1 PIV per block is allocated to the Treasury Budget and [may be] created with the Super Block and paid to a funded proposal.

Maximum Coin Supply 
--------------------

The numbers below represent the theoretical maximum coin supply. The actual number will be determinant upon transaction fee burning and allocated  PIV not required, of the maximum possible monthly budget generation. As a result of these factors, the actual number will most likely be less than these theoretical maximums.

By June 2040: 125,929,497 PIV 

By June 2060: 189,001,497 PIV

Vite has built a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based smart-contract platform, with a Snapshot Chain structure to facilitate zero-fee transactions and optimize transaction speed, reliability, and security. The Snapshot Chain of Vite utilizes Hierarchical Delegated Proof of Stake (“HDPoS”) to achieve network consensus, while supernodes take only staking rewards and no transaction fees. Vite virtual machine maintains compatibility with EVM, and utilizes asynchronous smart contract language, Solidity++.

The VITE token is the currency for simple token transactions and smart-contract executions on the Vite network, with users staking VITE for transaction quota instead of consuming gas. VITE can also be used to vote for Snapshot Block Producers (aka supernodes). In addition, a VITE staker with unused transaction quota can lease such quota to dApps in exchange for their tokens. For instance, users can stake VITE in exchange of ViteX’s native decentralized exchange token, VX.

Vite’s current products include a decentralized exchange (ViteX), a multi-purpose wallet application (Vite App), payments (VitePay), and government/enterprise blockchain applications (VitePlus):

ViteX is a decentralized exchange with on-chain orderbook and matching engine, and supports currently 20+ digital assets.

Vite App is a mobile application that allows trading (ViteX), asset management (wallet), dapps (e.g Vite-based games) in one place.

VitePay is a fast and feeless payment solution, currently available to use in Singapore’s Ce La Vi Sky Bar and taxi services under the Midwest Global network - Users can pay for merchants with Vite wallet, who in turn receive payment with zero fees with near-instant settlement. VitePay is also integrated with the e-commerce platform OpenCart, and one can utilize VitePay at the official Vite store.

VitePlus is a Vite-based enterprise blockchain solution for governments and enterprises. Vite has developed a pilot app, SyraCoin, for the Syracuse government, allowing city housing fund donors to receive blockchain-based coupons that are redeemable for goods and services within city bounds.

BitShares Blockchain is a decentralized “Blockchain as Organization” (BaO); an industrial-grade decentralized open source platform built to run high-performance financial technology operations. It represents the first decentralized autonomous decentralized community that enables its core utility token (BTS) holders to decide the Blockchain future direction in order to develop and maintain a wide range of decentralized financial technology products, features and functions. BitShares Blockchain is a Blockchain that permanently records financial technology operations between different Blockchain accounts and facilitates a wide range of access controls across BitShares Blockchain user financial means.

BitShares Blockchain is a technology that supports the digital generation entrepreneurs, investors, and developers with a common interest in building and participating in free market solutions by leveraging the power of globally decentralized consensus and decision making. Consensus technology has the power to do for economics what the internet did for information. It can harness the combined power of all humanity to coordinate the discovery and aggregation of real-time knowledge, previously unobtainable. This knowledge can be used to more effectively coordinate the allocation of resources toward their most productive and valuable use.

BitShares looks to extend the innovation of the Blockchain to all industries that rely upon the internet to provide their services. Whether its banking, stock exchanges, lotteries, voting, music, auctions or many others, a digital public ledger allows for the creation of distributed autonomous companies (or BaO) that provide better quality services at a fraction of the cost incurred by their more traditional, centralized counterparts. The advent of (BaO) ushers in a new paradigm in organizational structure in which companies can run without any human management and under the control of an incorruptible set of business rules. These rules are encoded in publicly auditable open source software distributed across the computers of the companies’ shareholders, who effortlessly secure the company from arbitrary control. BitShares does for business what bitcoin did for money by utilizing distributed consensus technology to create companies that are inherently global, transparent, trustworthy, efficient and most importantly profitable.

BitShares has went through many changes and has done its best to stay on top of Blockchain technology. BitShares is using Consensus as the mechanism by which organized people decide upon unitary rational action. While not considered technology in the traditional since, consensus “technology” is the basis of democratic governance and the coordination of free market activity first coined by Adam Smith as the “Invisible Hand.” The process of consensus decision-making allows for all participants to consent upon a resolution of action even if not the favored course of action for each individual participant. Bitcoin was the first system to integrate a fully decentralized consensus method with the modern technology of the internet and peer-to-peer networks in order to more efficiently facilitate the transfer of value through electronic communication. The proof-of-work structure that secures and maintains the Bitcoin network is one manner of organizing individuals who do not necessarily trust one another to act in the best interest of all participants of the network. The BitShares ecosystem employs Delegated Proof of Stake in order to find efficient solutions to distributed consensus decision making.

Loom Network is a platform as a service that is built on top of Ethereum and allows developers to run large-scale decentralized applications. This platform was released on October 1st, 2017.

The goal of this is to allow application developers to have smart contracts that can access much more computing power when it is required, or maintain the same power at lower costs for tasks such as trials for onboarding new users or applications that simply do not need the full security of blockchain to begin with.

In this system you have the ability to interact with APIs developed by third parties which are not on chain. Loom attempts to be the ultimate platform that allows smart contract developers to create applications without the need to switch to another programming language.

As such, they can easily integrate their applications with the outside world.

The Loom Network runs on Plasma, which is a scaling solution that allows for faster transactions throughout the network.
