## DigiByte (DGB) คืออะไร?

DigiByte (DGB) เป็น [บล็อคเชน](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) แบบโอเพ่นซอร์ส และเป็นแพลตฟอร์มที่ใช้ในการสร้างสินทรัพย์ การพัฒนาเริ่มขึ้นในเดือนตุลาคม 2013 และ [genesis block](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/genesis-block) ของโทเค็น DGB ถูกขุดในเดือนมกราคม 2014 เพื่อแยกออกจาก [Bitcoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/bitcoin/) (BTC)

DigiByte เป็นบล็อกเชนสาธารณะและคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีที่มีมายาวนาน ใช้อัลกอริธึมที่แตกต่างกันถึง 5 แบบในการปรับปรุงความปลอดภัย และเดิมมีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อปรับปรุงความปลอดภัยในบล็อคเชนของบิทคอยน์, ความจุ และความเร็วในการทำธุรกรรม

DigiByte ประกอบด้วย 3 ชั้น: smart contract "แอพสโตร์" บัญชีแยกประเภทสาธารณะและโปรโตคอลหลักที่มีเครือข่ายสื่อสารเพื่อถ่ายทอดธุรกรรม

### ใครคือผู้ก่อตั้ง DigiByte?

DigiByte สร้างขึ้นโดย Jared Tate หรือที่รู้จักในชื่อ "DigiMan" ซึ่งดูแลการเปลี่ยนแปลงตั้งแต่การพัฒนาไปสู่การตั้งค่าในปัจจุบัน ก่อนที่จะประกาศว่าเขาจะเกษียณจากตำแหน่งชั่วคราวในเดือนพฤษภาคม 2020

Tate กลับมาอีกครั้ง และในเดือนกันยายน 2020 เขากลับเข้ามาเกี่ยวข้องอย่างใกล้ชิดกับการเติบโตของ DigiByte อีกครั้ง

ชีวประวัติของ Tate ระบุว่าเขาเกี่ยวข้องกับบิทคอยน์ ตั้งแต่ปี 2012 และเขียนหนังสือเล่มแรกเกี่ยวกับผู้ก่อตั้งบล็อคเชน “Blockchain 2035: ที่ชื่อว่า The Digital DNA of Internet 3.0”

การดำเนินงานของ DigiByte ไม่ได้ขึ้นอยู่กับนักพัฒนาเท่านั้น แต่ยังรวมถึงมูลนิธิ DigiByte ซึ่งเป็นองค์กรอาสาสมัครที่ได้รับการมอบหมายให้ดูแลโครงการ อาสาสมัครกลุ่มที่สามคือ DigiByte Awareness Team ที่รับผิดชอบกิจกรรมทางการตลาดและการส่งเสริมการขาย

#### อะไรทำให้ DigiByte ไม่เหมือนใคร?

DigiByte เป็นการดัดแปลงของบิทคอยน์ ซึ่งมีจุดมุ่งหมายเพื่อกระจายความเสี่ยงด้านความปลอดภัย, ความเร็ว และความจุ

ในครั้งแรกเป็นบล็อคเชนแบบ โอเพ่นซอร์ส และเกี่ยวข้องกับคริปโตเคอร์เรนซีอย่าง DGB เครือข่ายมีอัลกอริธึม 5 แบบที่แยกออกจากกัน ซึ่งช่วยรักษาความปลอดภัยและช่วยป้องกันนักขุด ASIC จากการมีอำนาจจนเกินไป

ต่อมา DigiAssets ได้มีข้อเสนออีกรายการหนึ่ง โดยมี DGB เป็นโทเค็นดั้งเดิม DigiAssets ดึงดูดนักพัฒนาที่ต้องการเปิดตัวสินทรัพย์ดิจิทัล, แอพพลิเคชั่นแบบกระจายอำนาจ (DApps) และเข้ารหัสใน smart contracts ที่จำเป็น

โครงสร้างการกำกับดูแลทั้งหมดสำหรับ DigiByte ดำเนินการด้วยความสมัครใจ ซึ่งสอดคล้องกับหลักการที่ว่าเครือข่ายควรเป็นโอเพ่นซอร์สและเข้าถึงได้แบบสาธารณะ ค่าธรรมเนียมการทำธุรกรรมใน DGB จะจ่ายให้กับ [ผู้ขุด](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/how-long-does-it-take-to-mine-one-bitcoin) เพื่อตรวจสอบความถูกต้องของบล็อคเชน

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.

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.

Verge is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency and blockchain that seeks to offer a fast, efficient, decentralized payments network that improves upon the original Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain. It includes additional privacy features including integrating the anonymity network Tor into its wallet, called vergePay, and providing the option of sending transactions to stealth addresses.

The project describes itself as community-driven, relying on volunteers and priding itself on being open source.

Verge was first launched in October 2014 as DogeCoinDark, a fork of Peercoin (PPC). In February 2016, it was renamed Verge in order to rebrand for easier mass-market adoption and to distinguish itself from Dogecoin (DOGE), with which it has no direct connection. The project is now based on the Bitcoin source code.

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

VeChainThor (VET) is a versatile enterprise-grade L1 smart contract platform whose origins began in 2015. VeChain is known as a pioneer of real-world enterprise applications, and built a distributed platform powered by Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, NFC chips and blockchain to help various industries solve data-related challenges.

VeChain solves major blockchain adoption hurdles. The platform uses an intelligent two token model, VET and VTHO, separating the protocol's Store of Value and gas fee payment mechanisms, ensuring costs can be kept low and stable. Fee delegation allows smart contracts to pay gas fees on behalf of business users, and an advanced transaction model allows data to be packaged more efficiently while ensuring finality of data.

VeChain is focused on delivering a wave of incentive-based sustainability dApps through its new platform, VeBetterDAO, working closely with Boston Consulting Group to achieve adoption across enterprise and individual users, and helping  onboard the next billion users to Web3 over the coming decade.

From supply chains to sustainability, VeChain has continuously demonstrated its leading role as a driver of blockchain in business, and is dedicated to its role as a pioneer of driving real world adoption of blockchain technology.

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

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:

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.
