## What is Spot?

Spot is a decentralized, inflation resistant store of value that fills the gap between speculative cryptocurrencies and dollar substitutes. It builds on top of the Ampleforth and Buttonwood protocols and it is governed by FORTH.

Spot was created by the Ampleforth team, whose goal is to create a safer and more resilient financial ecosystem that does not rely on centralized custodians, or lenders of last resort.

## What Differentiates Spot from other stable assets?
- SPOT can wind down to 0 users and reboot. Since SPOT is simply a proportional claim on a set of assets, it can never be undercollateralized.
- SPOT has no explicit feedback loops and does not react to the market.
- No reliance on bailouts or lenders of last resort. Independent monies do not have the luxury of a backing state who can step in. This also means there are no liquidations, which rely on outside bailout capital and can result in liquidation cascades.
- No reliance on continual growth. SPOT can grow and shrink with demand in the market without saddling itself with future obligations.
- SPOT holds collateral, but is not subject to bank runs.
- Risk is transparent so it can be properly priced. Tranching and bundling are well understood in finance and all of this is viewable onchain.

Theta (THETA) is a blockchain powered network purpose-built for video streaming. Launched in March 2019, the Theta mainnet operates as a decentralized network in which users share bandwidth and computing resources on a peer-to-peer (P2P) basis. The project is advised by Steve Chen, co-founder of YouTube and Justin Kan, co-founder of Twitch.

Theta features its own native cryptocurrency token, THETA, which performs various governance tasks within the network, and counts Google, Binance, Blockchain ventures, Gumi, Sony Europe and Samsung as Enterprise validators, along with a Guardian network of thousands of community-run guardian nodes.

Developers say that the project aims to shake up the video streaming industry in its current form — centralization, poor infrastructure and high costs mean that end users often end up with a poor experience. Content creators likewise earn less revenue due to the barriers between them and end users.

The Theta team has created a customer-centric business plan for their growing ecosystem of services focused on esports, music, TV, movies, and education. The list of Theta Network partners includes video platforms like Samsung VR, Cinedigm, Shout! Factory, Pandora.tv, Play Labs, and THETA.tv.

Opium is a new platform for launching and trading cryptocurrency derivatives.

Having begun operations in May 2020, Opium uses Ethereum to run a decentralized derivatives marketplace in which any cryptocurrency owner can participate.

The aim of the platform is to democratize access to financial derivatives while using the benefits that decentralization affords traders over legacy alternatives.

Opium’s in-house token, OPIUM, launched in January 2021 and will fulfil various roles mostly centered around platform governance. Active users will be able to vote on some of the most important decisions involved in the platform’s operations.

Mysterium Network is an open-source ecosystem of protocols, tools, and Web3 infrastructure making the internet borderless and accessible for all. The network gives both users and builders the tools they need to safeguard their online anonymity and equal access to information. Mysterium held a token sale through which it raised $14 million CHF.

Mysterium is powered by its permissionless, peer-to-peer network. Anyone can turn their device into a node and rent their spare internet resources, such as bandwidth or IP address, in exchange for cryptocurrency. The network is tamper-proof, anonymous, and encrypted like Tor, but with superior usability, stability and speed.

Mysterium’s B2B Network-as-a-Service lays the groundwork for all kinds of enterprise-level services to be built, including the project's flagship product, the Mysterium VPN, available for Android, Windows, Mac and Linux (iOS in 2022). Developers and entrepreneurs can build private, censorship-resistant tools, and businesses can make their products globally accessible and secure. The technology is fully compatible with both Web2 and Web3 platforms and can be integrated with VPNs, proxy services, DeFi wallets, browsers, search engines, data scraping solutions, and streaming apps, building censorship-resistance into the apps we already use.
