## What Is IMPT?

IMPT is a cryptocurrency project that aims to build a decentralized platform for investing in projects and initiatives that address climate change. IMPT operates on the Ethereum [blockchain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain), using smart contracts to provide secure and transparent investment transactions. The platform promotes social and environmental impact by enabling individuals and organizations to invest in projects that align with their values and goals.

The IMPT token is the primary currency used within the IMPT carbon marketplace, where all services are charged in IMPT tokens. On the platform, users can shop on the IMPT platform or buy products from different affiliates and get rewarded in IMPT tokens. These tokens can be converted into carbon credits. Moreover, holding IMPT tokens gives investors access to premium services such as trading opportunities and special non-fungible token ([NFT](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token)) collectibles.

In the future, as the IMPT project transitions to complete decentralization, users who hold IMPT tokens will have the opportunity to participate in governance voting through a decentralized autonomous organization ([DAO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-autonomous-organizations-dao)), enabling them to have a say in shaping the future of the platform.


## Who Are the Founders of IMPT?

The co-founders of IMPT are Denis Creighton, Mike English and Hugh Phelan.


## What Makes IMPT Unique?

IMPT uses blockchain technology as an immutable ledger to record transactions and tracks assets in the network business, offering a secure and transparent process for tokenizing carbon assets. 

By exploiting a decentralized blockchain database, companies can prevent fraud and double-counting, which are significant problems in carbon trading. Using coded rules in blockchain also sets boundaries on what participants are allowed to do, making fraud more difficult and costly. 

The platform converts carbon credits into NFTs, enabling investors to verify the credits' storage addresses and disposition status.

In addition, the IMPT Token platform allows companies to generate certified documents that serve as reliable proof of their carbon offset commitments. This feature is essential for companies that want to demonstrate their commitment to promoting sustainability and protecting the environment. These validated certificates assure stakeholders that the carbon credits claimed are valid and supported by the secure and transparent IMPT Token platform.


## How Many IMPT Coins Are There in Circulation?

At the time of writing, there are over 1.3 billion IMPT coins in circulation, which is around 44% of the total supply.


## How Is the IMPT Network Secured?

IMPT leverages the advantages of blockchain technology, which provides an immutable ledger to facilitate transaction recording and asset tracking within a business network. This solution offers a way to tackle the current challenges of carbon offsetting. By tokenizing carbon assets, the industry can benefit from secure and transparent records at every stage, from creation to sale and retirement. This approach enables companies and organizations to provide certified documents that can be verified proof of their carbon offset commitments, supported by immutable blockchain transactions accessible to everyone.

SingularityNET is a blockchain-powered platform that allows anybody to easily "create, share, and monetize" AI services, thanks to its globally-accessible AI marketplace.

Through the SingularityNET marketplace, users can browse, test and purchase a huge variety of AI services using the platform’s native utility token — AGIX. Moreover, the marketplace represents an outlet AI developers can use to publish and sell their AI tools, and easily track their performance.

With the benefits of LLMs and generative AI are increasingly exciting, their limitations are also becoming increasingly apparent. The convergence of structured knowledge with neural networks is emerging as the key to overcoming their shortcomings.

Uniquely positioned at the heart of this convergence, SingularityNET will prioritize the integration of Knowledge Graphs (KGs) and comprehensive Neural Symbolic tools for LLMs, with the goal of empowering developers to create the next generation of AI systems on the SingularityNET Platform.

SingularityNET is strategically positioned to become the Knowledge Layer of the Internet, leading the evolution of the emerging AI landscape while also laying the foundations for the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) of tomorrow.

The team behind SingularityNET pioneered the development of an AI known as Sophia, which is described as the "world's most expressive robot". SingularityNET’s goal is to enable Sophia to be able to fully understand human language, and continue developing “OpenCog” — an AI framework that is hoped to eventually achieve a state known as “advanced general intelligence,” i.e. human-level artificial intelligence (or beyond).

The platform was first announced in 2017 and completed an initial coin offering (ICO) in December the same year, raising $36 million in just one minute.

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.

Bitgert (BRISE) is a crypto engineering project launched in July 2021 that specializes in blockchain products and centralized exchange. Initially, Bitgert was built on BNB Chain and used BNB, its native token, to pay rewards. However one of the most significant Bitgert developments was presented in 2022: the BRC20 blockchain. It offers near-zero gas fees and high speed cross-chain transactions. More specifically, the gas fee is $0.0000000000001 per transaction, while the supported throughput is up to 100,000 TPS.

The list of Bitgert products also includes Bitgert Blockchain, Bitgert Exchange, Paybrise, Realestate Marketplace,  Decentralized marketplace, BRISE staking, BRISE Swap.

Bitgert offers an alternative to the popular DEX platform PancakeSwap.

BRISE is Bitgert's native token, allowing investors to benefit from staking and earning rewards in BUSD on BSC network only.

Smart contract on BSC Chain feature a buyback mechanism. To be more precise, Bitgert directs 5% of every transaction fee for buyback, 3% for marketing and 4% for staking rewards. According to the team, buyback is meant to support the price of BRISE token making it a deflationary asset.

Smart contract on ETH Network has zero tax fee

BRISE claims to have a real use case with becoming the global payment system and is applied as a peer-to-peer (P2P) service in the BRISE dApp Wallet. Thus, buyers and sellers interact directly, without the participation of a third party, through the P2P service, and transactions are carried out quickly, securely and with zero fees.

The XDC Network is a blockchain developed to support trade finance and the tokenization of RWAs. A highly optimized, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, XDC Network reaches consensus through a delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS) mechanism, which allows for a transaction time of mere seconds, near zero gas fees, and a high number of transactions per second (TPS).

Secure, scalable, and highly efficient, the XDC Network powers a wide range of novel blockchain use cases and provides state-of-the-art infrastructure for enterprise-grade blockchain applications. With architecture that enables the creation of sovereign sub-networks, XDC Network is uniquely equipped to support those who require dedicated blockchain environments for enhanced permissions and control, such as government agencies, financial institutions, and businesses.

As of April 25, 2024, there are 312 XDC Network validator masternode candidates, of which 108 actively operate as validator masternodes, and the remainder are standby masternodes. Each masternode operator is required to stake 10M XDC.

A forthcoming upgrade to the consensus mechanism, dubbed XDC 2.0, is currently running on testnet. It and subsequent iterations of the XDC Network protocol will further enhance the security of the consensus mechanism and incorporate a novel "judiciary branch" into the consensus mechanism.

Developed by Princeton University's Pramod Viswanath, Hash Laboratories' Fisher Yu, and their team, XDC 2.0’s cutting-edge compliance technology will ensure unprecedented Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) by holding validators accountable for their actions on an automated yet discretionary basis.

Quant launched in June 2018 with the goal of connecting blockchains and networks on a global scale, without reducing the efficiency and interoperability of the network. It is the first project to solve the interoperability problem through the creation of the first blockchain operating system.

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

The project is built as an operating system distributed ledger technology— and Overledger Network — for connecting different blockchain networks. The project is billed as the first OS to be built for blockchains.

The main aim of Quant — using Overledger — is to bridge the gap that exists between different blockchains. The backbone of the project is the Overledger network, which Quant bills as the ecosystem on which the future digital economy ecosystem will be built.

Overledger allows developers to build decentralized multi-chain applications (known as MApps) for their customers. For developers to build a Mapp on the network, they must hold a certain amount of Quant tokens (QNT).
