Abelian is a Layer 1 Blockchain system which is quantum resistant and privacy preserving. By quantum resistant, Abelian’s cryptographic systems can defend against attacks launched by the future powerful quantum computers. By privacy preserving, Abelian has the privacy coin ABEL, which can be used with full privacy, privacy with accountability, or privacy in the pseudonymous level.

This is the world’s first Blockchain system which is both post-quantum and privacy-preserving. In addition, the security and privacy assurance of Abelian are both mathematically proven secure. This is also the world’s first provably secure Blockchain system with its security and privacy being both mathematically reduced to some well-known quantum-resistant hard problems.

Abelian’s lattice-based post-quantum cryptosystems are based on CRYSTALS-Dilithium and Kyber, both have been chosen by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as in the first batch of post-quantum cryptographic (PQcrypto) national standards. This symbolizes the mass adoption of these PQcrypto primitives by the federal agencies and the rest of the world for replacing existing elliptic curve cryptosystems.

Abelian makes use of linkable ring signatures in the context of post-quantum security. While different from Monero, Abelian has multiple levels of privacy spanning from pseudonymity to full privacy. Pseudonymity gives similar anonymity assurance to that by Bitcoin. Full privacy protects sender and receiver wallet addresses, and also the transaction amount. In between pseudonymity and full privacy, Abelian also supports accountability, which lets a user share a trapdoor information with a third party in such a way that full privacy is still ensured against the public while it becomes pseudonymous to this third party.

Abelian’s Proof-of-Work (POW) mechanism is compatible with that of the Ethereum 1.0 and hence is GPU friendly. Mining rigs and farms which were previously built for Ethereum 1.0 mining can readily be migrated to mine Abelian privacy coin ABEL.

Abelian is also an ecosystem that in addition to the Layer 1 POW post-quantum Blockchain network, Abelian aims at supporting other Blockchain systems including major EVM-equivalent Blockchains to be quantum-safe. By applying Abelian’s lattice-based zero-knowledge proof systems, Abelian is able to protect digital assets residing on other non-quantum-safe Blockchains against quantum attacks.

Kaspa is a proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrency which implements the GHOSTDAG protocol. Unlike traditional blockchains, GHOSTDAG does not orphan blocks created in parallel, rather allows them to coexist and orders them in consensus. The Kaspa blockchain is actually a blockDAG. This generalization of Nakamoto consensus allows for secure operation while maintaining very high block rates (currently one block per second, aiming for 10/sec, dreaming of 100/sec) and minuscule confirmation times dominated by internet latency.

The Kaspa implementation includes a lot of cool features such as Reachability to query the DAG's topology, Block data pruning (with near-future plans for block header pruning), SPV proofs, and later subnetwork support which will make future implementation of layer 2 solutions much easier.

OriginTrail is an ecosystem building a trusted knowledge infrastructure for artificial intelligence. It addresses the challenge of misinformation in the AI era by ensuring the origin of information and enabling discoverability of the world's most important knowledge and real world assets (RWAs).

OriginTrail is creating a Verifiable Web for decentralized AI by empowering world class brands and builders. It utilizes its unique Decentralized Knowledge Graph and OriginTrail Parachain to deliver AI-powered search and solutions for enterprises and individuals worldwide.

OriginTrail has gained support and partnerships with world-class organizations such as British Standards Institution, SCAN, Polkadot, Parity, Walmart, World Federation of Hemophilia, Oracle, and the EU Commission's Next Generation Internet. These partnerships contribute to advancing OriginTrail's trusted knowledge foundation and its applicability in trillion-dollar industries, while providing a verifiable web of knowledge important in particular to drive the economies of RWAs.

The best way to see the technology in action is by checking ChatDKG, which is an experimental, question answering bot on X (Twitter) based on trusted Knowledge Assets in OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph. The ChatDKG provides answers based on OriginTrail trusted AI.

The Metcalfe phase of the updated roadmap pursues an ambitious goal of creating the world’s largest verifiable web for AI consisting of 100 billion Knowledge Assets, bringing a 100.000x scalability increase. As the name of the phase suggests, it will seek to produce network effects across the OriginTrail DKG and use novel techniques to pursue autonomous DKG growth based on the genesis knowledge foundation being created by organizations and individuals alike. The genesis part of the Metcalfe’s phase also introduces knowledge mining and knowledge signaling capabilities to drive constant growth of the Verifiable Web.

Following the Genesis stage and the transition to an AI-native V8, further capabilities will become available in the Convergence stage. By leveraging the advancements in AI and the DKG, we will unlock autonomous knowledge mining which in turn leads to an autonomous DKG. At that stage, new knowledge gets added to the DKG with very limited human involvement. Services such as AI agents will be performing knowledge inferencing directly on the DKG to find any “blind spots” in the knowledge they can fill as well as search for new knowledge and bring it to the DKG in accordance with knowledge signaling.

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.

Covalent leverages big-data technologies to create meaning from hundreds of billions of data points, delivering actionable insights to investors and allowing developers to allocate resources to higher-utility goals within their organization.

Instead of painstakingly sourcing data from a small handful of chains, Covalent aggregates information from across dozens of sources including nodes, chains and data feeds. The Covalent API then sources end-users with individualized data by wallet, including current and historical investment performance across all types of digital assets. Most importantly, Covalent returns this data in a rapid and consistent manner, incorporating all relevant data within one API interface.

Having achieved product-market fit, we are now planning to execute the next phase of Covalent, which is a progressive decentralization that will enable the Covalent Network to be owned and operated by its users. Of course, a critical piece to this is CQT.

CQT is the native token of the Covalent Network. It has three primary purposes:

CQT is a governance token, whereby token holders vote on proposals to change the system parameters.

CQT is a staking asset. Validators will earn fees for answering queries.

CQT is a network access token that fulfills data queries for users of the API.

Developer resources include:

Covalent Knowledge Base for extensive guides on how to use the Covalent API. 

Covalent API Documentation.
