## SKALE Network (SKL) คืออะไร?

SKALE ได้รับการอธิบายว่าเป็นเครือข่ายแบบยืดหยุ่นที่ออกแบบมาเพื่อนำความสามารถในการปรับขนาดมาสู่ [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/th/currencies/ethereum/) นอกจากการเพิ่มขีดความสามารถในการทำธุรกรรมแล้ว โครงการกระจายอำนาจยังมีเป้าหมายเพื่อลดเวลาแฝงและให้แน่ใจว่าการชำระเงินสามารถทำได้ในราคาถูกที่สุด

เว็บไซต์ของโครงการกล่าวว่าต้องการให้ผู้คนสร้างและเรียกใช้ [DApps](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-applications-dapps) ใน "คลาวด์แบบแยกส่วนซึ่งสร้างขึ้นสำหรับความต้องการในโลกแห่งความเป็นจริงและกำหนดค่าสำหรับความต้องการของคุณ" การเน้นที่การกระจายอำนาจนี้ไม่ได้ทำให้การรักษาความปลอดภัยน้อยลง

จากข้อมูลของ SKALE ผู้ที่ทำการสร้างบนแพลตฟอร์มนี้สามารถเรียกใช้ Solidity smart contract ได้ "เร็วขึ้นหลายพันเท่าด้วยต้นทุนเพียงเศษเสี้ยวของ mainnet" — ซึ่งเกมส์และบริการสตรีมเนื้อหาในโครงการต่าง ๆ สามารถใช้ประโยชน์จากโครงสร้างพื้นฐานอยู่แล้ว

### ใครคือผู้ก่อตั้ง SKALE Network?

SKALE Network ก่อตั้งโดย Jack O'Holleran และ Stan Kladko ซึ่งทั้งคู่มีประสบการณ์มากมายในอุตสาหกรรมซอฟต์แวร์

O'Holleran — ผู้ร่วมก่อตั้งและหัวหน้าผู้บริหารของ SKALE — เป็นผู้ประกอบการด้านเทคโนโลยีที่เชี่ยวชาญด้านบล็อคเชนและระบบการกระจายอำนาจ เขายังคงดำรงตำแหน่งที่ปรึกษาเชิงกลยุทธ์ที่ Aktana ซึ่งเป็นบริษัทด้านชีววิทยาศาสตร์ที่เขาร่วมก่อตั้งในปี 2008

ตามโปรไฟล์ LinkedIn ของเขา O'Holleran เริ่มต้นอาชีพกในฐานะผู้บริหารด้านบัญชีที่ Good Technology เขาใช้เวลา 2 ปีที่นั่นก่อนที่จะเข้าร่วมแผนกพัฒนาธุรกิจและกลยุทธ์ผลิตภัณฑ์ของ Motorola

Kladko ใช้เวลาหลายปีกว่าจะได้รับปริญญาเอกด้านฟิสิกส์ก่อนที่จะร่วมก่อตั้ง SKALE และทำงานเป็นเวลา 16 ปีในฐานะผู้บริหารด้านเทคโนโลยีใน Silicon Valley ที่ซานฟรานซิสโก

เขาได้ร่วมก่อตั้งบริษัทอื่น ๆ อีกหลายแห่ง รวมถึง Galactic Exchange และ Cloudessa

### อะไรที่ทำให้เครือข่าย SKALE ไม่เหมือนใคร?

SKALE Network มุ่งเน้นการปรับปรุงทั้งด้านความปลอดภัยและการกระจายอำนาจของแอพที่ใช้งาน Ethereum

ผู้ถือโทเค็นบนเครือข่าย SKALE จะได้รับสิ่งจูงใจและได้รับรางวัลจากการช่วยปรับปรุงความสามารถในการปรับขนาดและความปลอดภัยของแพลตฟอร์ม โดยการทำหน้าที่เป็นผู้ตรวจสอบความถูกต้อง

เครือข่าย SKALE เป็นโครงการแรกที่เปิดตัวโทเค็นบนแพลตฟอร์ม Activate ของ ConsenSys Codefi ซึ่ง "ออกแบบมาเพื่อเปิดใช้งานเครือข่ายแบบกระจายอำนาจและทำให้ลูกค้าสามารถซื้อ, จัดการ และใช้โทเค็นได้ ซึ่งทั้งหมดนี้อยู่ในแอปพลิเคชันเพียงที่เดียว" Activate ได้รับการออกแบบมาเพื่อสร้างมาตรฐานใหม่สำหรับการแจกจ่ายโทเค็นยูทิลิตี้ และทำให้แน่ใจว่าเครือข่ายจะใช้งานได้อย่างสมบูรณ์ทันทีที่มีการขายโทเค็น หวังว่าวิธีการนี้จะช่วยทำลบล้างลักษณะที่ปรากฏในส่วนของ initial coin offering ซึ่งอ่อนไหวต่อการฉ้อโกงในช่วงไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านมา

ด้วยการเปิดตัวโทเค็นที่ตรงตามมาตรฐานข้อบังคับ SKALE ตั้งใจที่จะนำโทเค็นของตนไปใช้อย่างกว้างขวางและหลีกเลี่ยงจาดกิจกรรมที่เข้าข่ายการฉ้อโกง

โดยปกติแล้ว Ethereum จะตรวจสอบและอนุมัติธุรกรรมได้ช้า ทีมงานกล่าวว่าการใช้เครือข่าย SKALE ช่วยปรับปรุงความเร็วที่ Ethereum ตรวจสอบธุรกรรมได้อย่างมาก เนื่องจาก SKALE สามารถทำงานได้เร็วกว่ามากและทำงานได้สูงสุดถึง 2,000 รายการต่อวินาทีต่อเชน

LRC is the Ethereum-based cryptocurrency token of Loopring, an open protocol designed for the building of decentralized crypto exchanges.

In 2020, the average daily trading volume of the entire cryptocurrency market fluctuated in the approximate range of $50-$200 million. Most of that trading is conducted on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges — online platforms operated by private companies that store users’ funds and facilitate the matching of buy and sell orders.

Such platforms have a number of downsides common to all of them, so a new type of exchange — decentralized— has emerged to try to alleviate these disadvantages. However, fully decentralized exchanges are not without their own flaws.

Loopring’s purported goal is to combine centralized order matching with decentralized on-blockchain order settlement into a hybridized product that will take the best aspects of both centralized and decentralized exchanges.

LRC tokens became available to the public during an initial coin offering (ICO) in August 2017, while the Loopring protocol was first deployed on Ethereum mainnet in December 2019.

Loopring

Storj, pronounced as “storage,” is an open-source cloud storage platform. Basically, it uses a decentralized network of nodes to host user data. The platform also secures hosted data using advanced encryption.

In a white paper published in December,2014, Storj was first introduced to the world as a concept. It was to be a decentralized peer-to-peer encrypted cloud storage platform.

Two years later, an updated white paper was published. Here, a decentralized network  — connecting users who need cloud storage space with those who have hard drive space to sell — was described. The platform was launched in late 2018.

People with hard drive space and good internet connectivity can participate in the network. They become a unit in the network, called a node. Space providers are rewarded by Storj tokens.

Storj

0x is an infrastructure protocol that allows users to easily trade ERC20 tokens and other assets on the many different blockchains (including Ethereum) without relying on centralized intermediaries. It is a protocol for decentralized exchange.

0x achieves this decentralized exchange functionality using a collection of open-source, publicly auditable smart contracts that work together to produce a flexible, low-friction trading protocol that developers can easily weave into their products.

The protocol is used by companies building web3 apps such as wallets, DEXes, portfolio trackes, and others. It is a used by hundreds of developers for their projects. The protocol has facilitates over $200B in trading volume since its inception. One can track its usage in its dedicated https://explorer.0x.org/.

The protocol is powered by an ERC20 governance token known as ZRX. ZRX holders can participate in protocol governance, having direct power over protocol changes and its community treasury.

UMA was founded in 2018 by Allison Lu and Hart Lambur, two ex Goldman Sachs traders, with the goal of making global markets universally fair, accessible, secure and decentralized.

The team drew inspiration from traditional finance derivatives to define an open-source protocol to allow anyone, anywhere, to design and build trustless financial contracts.

Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that is able to take real-world data and supply it to on-chain applications, while also connecting APIs to smart-contracts to facilitate the exchange of information between on-chain and off-chain data sources.

By supplying reputable, verifiable real-world data to blockchains, Band Protocol unlocks a range of new use cases for developers to explore — since they can now use any type of real-world data as part of their decentralized application (DApp) logic, including sports, weather, random numbers, price feed data and more.

Band Protocol initially launched as an ERC-20 project on the Ethereum blockchain in September 2019, but transitioned to the Cosmos network in June 2020 with the release of Band Protocol 2.0. The new protocol is built on BandChain using the Cosmos SDK. Oracle nodes on BandChain not only relay data but are also involved in block production/validation, giving them a dual role.

BAND is the native token of the Band Protocol ecosystem and is used as collateral by validators involved in fulfilling data requests, as well as the main medium of exchange on BandChain — being used to paying for private data.

Band Protocol

Starting as an open-source project in 2017, IoTeX has built a decentralized platform whose aim is to empower the open economics for machines — an open ecosystem where people and machines can interact with guaranteed trust, free will, and under properly designed economic incentives.

With a global team of over 40 research scientists and engineers, IoTeX has built their EVM-compatible blockchain from scratch using the innovative Roll-DPoS consensus and launched in 2019 April, which has been running by 100+ delegates worldwide and has processed more than 10 million transactions already. On top of the IoTeX blockchain, the team has built the essential blocks of infrastructures to connect with Ethereum, BSC, and Heco blockchains such as ioPay wallet (https://iopay.me/) and ioTube bridge (https://iotube.org/), which serve ten thousands of users. IoTeX helps EVM-based DApps scale without concerning expensive gas fees!

Besides, middleware such as Decentralized Identity, Confidential Computing, and Secure Hardware has been built on top of the IoTeX blockchain. This has enabled the creation of self-sovereign devices such as Ucam, and real-world data oracles like Pebble. Ucam (https://ucam.iotex.io/) has been deployed to over 3000 households (http://iott.network/). Meanwhile, Pebble has been launched to more than 300 developers initially, and enables innovative Dapps to connect the physical world with the crypto world, such as real-world NFTs, weather derivatives and machine learning-as-mining.

Synthetix is building a decentralized liquidity provisioning protocol that any protocol can tap into for various purposes. Its deep liquidity and low fees serve as a backend for many exciting protocols on both Optimism and Ethereum. Many user-facing protocols in the Synthetix ecosystem, such as Kwenta (Spot and Futures), Lyra (Options), Polynomial (Automated Options), and 1inch & Curve (Atomic Swaps), tap into Synthetix liquidity to power their protocols. Synthetix is built on Optimism and Ethereum mainnet. The Synthetix Network is collateralized by SNX, ETH, and LUSD, enabling the issuance of synthetic assets (Synths). Synths track and provide returns on the underlying asset without requiring one to directly hold the asset. This pooled collateral enables an array of on-chain, composable financial instruments backed by liquidity from Synthetix. Some of the most exciting upcoming releases from SNX are Perps V2, which hopes to enable low-fee on-chain futures trading through the usage of off-chain oracles, and Synthetix V3, which aims to rebuild the protocol to achieve its earliest goal, being a fully permissionless derivatives protocol. Learn more about Synthetix on their blog or by joining the SNX Discord.

The platform aims to broaden the cryptocurrency space by introducing non-blockchain assets, providing access to a more robust financial market.

Balancer is an automated market maker (AMM) that was developed on the Ethereum blockchain and launched in March 2020. It was able to raise a $3M seed round by Placeholder and Accomplice. Balancer protocol functions as a self-balancing weighted portfolio, price sensor and liquidity provider. It allows users to earn profits through its recently introduced token ($BAL) by contributing to customizable liquidity pools.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Balancer(https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-balancer.

The protocol operates a few types of pools:

Private pools give the owner governance over the pool, and make the person the sole contributor of liquidity to the pool. Also, all the parameters are mutable by the owner.

Shared pools are for those who want to become liquidity providers (LPs). The LPs are rewarded with the Balancer Pool Tokens (BPTs).

Smart pools are similar to private pools but are controlled by a smart contract. They also reward using BPTs and allow anyone to contribute liquidity to the pool.

Balancer
