## What Is Shyft Network (SHFT)?

[Shyft Network](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/shyft-network/) is a public blockchain protocol for aggregating, verifying and validating data that is stored in private and public ecosystems, as well as permissioned and permissionless networks. Shyft turns raw data into meaningful information by bridging siloed datasets. Thus, the Shyft Network instills trust in this data, plus creates a reliable level of transactions for the industry and the public sector of the economy.

The idea of ​​the project developers is to create an easy-to-use and secure platform for [KYC](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/kyc)/[AML](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/anti-money-laundering) identification and user certification (which can guarantee the safety of data) and via blockchain, reduce storage costs and increase efficiency. Shyft encourages clients to work on adding context to data, thereby creating authentic digital structures of reputation, identity and creditworthiness.

The Shyft Network creates regulatory-compliant tools for decentralized finance ([DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/defi)), bridging the gap between centralized and decentralized organizations and making it easier for them to enter the blockchain world. Their goal is to aid mainstream financial institutions into DeFi and participate in a compliant manner. This could potentially attract large capital inflows and millions of users from mainstream markets into crypto.

Veriscope is Shyft’s blockchain-based compliance framework and smart contract solution for virtual asset services providers (VASPs), such as crypto exchanges, non-custodial wallets and brokerage firms. This is to comply with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Travel Rule. FATF is an intergovernmental organization focused on countering money laundering and terrorism financing.


## Who Are the Founders of Shyft Network?

The company was established in 2017 in Bridgetown Barbados. It is founded by a group of experienced founders that have collectively launched successful companies in the ecosystem since 2012.

The core team of Shyft Network consists of five people who are responsible for technical elaboration, architecture implementation and network development vector. These include Joseph Weinberg and Juan Aja Aguinaco (co-founders of Shyft Network), Chris Forrester (CTO), Kristofer Coward (Chief Scientist) and Fredrico Nassire (CSO).

The vision of the Shyft team is to erase the boundaries imposed around personal data using blockchain. Shyft Network operates and grows with industry leaders as technical and ecosystem consultants. In addition to the usual team, Shyft has enlisted the support of global consultants: Bruce Silcoff and Suzanne Ennis, who are part of the Shyft Enterprise Executive Team. They act as a sales department and set a course for long-term partnerships and lucrative multi-year contracts.


## What Makes Shyft Network (SHFT) Unique?

There are three initial use cases for the Shyft Network: compliance with the FATF Travel Rule using Veriscope smart-contract platform; bridging DeFi and large liquidity providers by regulatory compatibility; KYC process for government digital identity systems in partners like financial institutions, healthcare providers, telecoms and government agencies.

Key features of Shyft Network include:

The Shyft [block explorer](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/block-explorer), which offers a set of tools to launch block explorers (removing a potential point of failure) and the ability to view individual transactions that are part of internal transactions.

Specially designed [smart contracts](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) regulate a number of key platform functions and facilitate KYC/AML verification.

Shyft Safe is an accounting software built on smart contracts that manages and protects assets. It works by ensuring a secure asset is cross-validated. This procedure takes place across multiple blockchains and eliminates data invalidation issues.

## How Is Shyft Network Secured?

The Shyft system provides platform users with the KYC verification, which gives security status to any personal data. This eliminates the risk of hacking, and users can count on the absolute confidentiality of their identity.

Shyft Network eliminates the need for a centralized storage of KYC data, and to prevent users from being hacked, the developers offer decentralized virtual profiles. The network unifies the KYC procedure, but at the same time guarantees a high level of personal data protection. Shyft offers assistance to anyone interested in verification and protection, ensuring the conservation of the provided KYC credentials.

Shyft Network can function with existing applications both in the [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) environment and other networks. Shyft is interoperable with blockchains, so the platform takes advantage of these networks. This feature is significant, since projects can operate in different ecosystems.

Bifrost is a multichain middleware platform that enables developers to create Decentralized Applications (DApps) on top of multiple protocols. Not restrained to a single blockchain, Bifrost creates a new environment where developers can combine the best protocols to develop substantially more scalable and flexible DApps.

With Bifrost, developers can write smart contracts for multiple blockchain protocols in an unified environment. They simply select the target blockchain for each part of the code, then Bifrost will transpile, compile, and deploy the code into the target blockchains at once. Developers can also easily operate their DApps and even switch the target blockchain as new and better protocols become available.

Bifrost has multiple components that allow for a seamless connection among all blockchains:

Recipe: A language application that defines the programming language of Bifrost and generates smart contract codes with guaranteed code-level flexibility.

Linker: A system that connects the user and Bifrost components, ensuring the seamless operation on top of multiple blockchains.

Kleros (PNK) is a decentralized dispute resolution project that launched in July 2018. It is an open-source online dispute resolution protocol that uses blockchain and crowdsourcing to adjudicate disputes fairly.

Kleros offers a middleman service for decentralized applications (DApps) and their users. If the service provided by the application does not create a dispute, Kleros acts as a trustless third-party service for payment.

When a dispute does occur, however, each party can apply for arbitration through the Kleros arbitrators that are selected from the owners of PNK tokens. PNK is an Ethereum-based ERC-20 utility token with a fixed supply.

At this point, the jurors can make a decision that will favor either party. The arbitration fees are distributed to all arbitrators in the form of ETH; jurors who have issued a minority decision lose part of their PNK tokens for the benefit of the majority of jurors. This decision can be appealed, at a cost. The stated mission of Kleros is to offer easier access to justice and improve individual freedom.

Kleros charges a cost that is payable in ETH and is provided by the parties to the dispute or drawn from the funds previously locked in escrow.

ABBC is a blockchain platform that enables secure payment transactions, helping to facilitate retail adoption of cryptocurrencies and make shopping online with digital assets a safer, more enjoyable experience for end-users.

The platform offers three main products: a multi-platform wallet capable of supporting Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), in addition to a variety of other native cryptocurrencies and ERC-20 tokens; an online shopping application that can be used to shop at over 50 online retailers with cryptocurrencies; and a cryptocurrency exchange platform that offers secure trading and low transaction fees.

The ABBC Coin was created to give holders the ability to govern the development of the ABBC platform by delegating voting power to chosen block producers (BPs) — who are then able to vote on governance proposals. These governance proposals can be on a range of topics but might include launching strategic partnerships, implementing new features or expanding ABBC's services to new regions. Beyond this, ABBC Coins were created as a reward system for online shoppers and can be staked for regular rewards.

ABBC is currently based on the EOSIO blockchain, which enables it to achieve up to 5,000 transactions per second (TPS) while remaining environmentally friendly due to its energy-efficient delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism.

ABBC Coin was initially known as Alibabacoin but changed its name in March 2019 following a dispute with Chinese multinational e-commerce giant Alibaba.

Handshake is a decentralized permissionless system that is intended to incentivize a distributed network of computers to operate a system for domain name ownership.

Under Handshake, every peer is tasked with validating and managing the root DNS naming zone, with the objective of providing an alternative to current certificate authorities and naming systems.

Different participants across the internet such as social networking handles and domains rely on a centralized approach. This means the systems depend on a system of honesty — and are still prone to cyber attacks and fraud.

Handshake aims to eradicate this problem by creating a decentralized internet that relies on a peer-to-peer system.
