## Waves (WAVES) คืออะไร?

Waves เป็นแพลตฟอร์ม[บล็อกเชน](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain)อเนกประสงค์ที่รองรับการใช้งานในกรณีต่าง ๆ รวมทั้งการใช้งาน Decentralized Applications ([DApps](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-applications-dapps)) และ[สัญญาอัจฉริยะ](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract)

Waves เปิดตัวในเดือนมิถุนายน 2559 โดยเป็นหนึ่งในรายแรกๆ ที่เสนอเหรียญในอุตสาหกรรมสกุลเงินคริปโต ([ICO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-coin-offering-ico)) โดย Waves เริ่มต้นที่จะปรับปรุงแพลตฟอร์มบล็อกเชนแรกด้วยการเพิ่มความเร็ว ยูทิลิตี้ และความเป็นมิตรกับผู้ใช้ให้มากขึ้น

แพลตฟอร์มดังกล่าวได้รับการเปลี่ยนแปลงหลากหลาย และเพิ่มคุณสมบัติ spin-off ใหม่เพื่อต่อยอดจากการออกแบบเดิม

โทเคนเดิมของ Waves คือ WAVES ซึ่งเป็นโทเคนที่ให้ไม่จำกัด โดยใช้กับการชำระเงินมาตรฐาน เช่น block reward

### ใครคือผู้ก่อตั้ง Waves?

Waves มีความหมายเหมือนกันกับผู้ก่อตั้ง Alexander Ivanov นักวิทยาศาสตร์ชาวยูเครน (หรือที่เรียกว่า Sasha Ivanov)

ก่อนที่จะสร้าง Waves นาย Ivanov ได้มีส่วนร่วมในด้านสกุลเงินดิจิทัลแล้ว โดยได้เปิดตัว Coinomat ที่ให้บริการการซื้อขายแบบทันที ซึ่งขณะนี้ปิดบริการแล้ว และเว็บไซต์จัดทำดัชนีอย่าง Cooleindex นอกจากนี้เขายังได้สร้าง [stablecoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-a-stablecoin) รุ่นแรกๆ และ CoinoUSD ซึ่งเชื่อมโยงกับดอลลาร์สหรัฐ

Ivanov มีส่วนร่วมอย่างเปิดเผยในการโปรโมต Waves โดยให้สัมภาษณ์บ่อยครั้งเกี่ยวกับแพลตฟอร์มและแนวโน้มในอุตสาหกรรมบล็อกเชนที่ขยายตัวกว้างขึ้น

ตามเอกสารการตลาดของ Waves ปัจจุบันบริษัทมีพนักงานมากกว่า 180 คนในสถานที่ต่าง ๆ รวมถึงมอสโกและสวิตเซอร์แลนด์

### อะไรทำให้ Waves ไม่เหมือนใคร?

ในฐานะที่เป็นแห่งแรกที่นำเสนอบริการในวงการนี้ Waves ได้เริ่มปรับปรุงแพลตฟอร์มและผลิตภัณฑ์บล็อคเชนในช่วงแรก

ตั้งแต่เริ่มแรก Waves มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อดึงดูดลูกค้าทางธุรกิจที่ต้องการใช้บล็อกเชนเพื่อปรับปรุงกระบวนการหรือสร้างบริการใหม่ ๆ

Waves รองรับสัญญาอัจฉริยะและการพัฒนา DApp จึงทำให้มั่นใจได้ว่าความเร็วและความสะดวกในการใช้งานเหนือกว่าคู่แข่งในเวลานั้น

ตั้งแต่นั้นมา ผลิตภัณฑ์อื่น ๆ ก็ปรากฏขึ้น รวมถึง Gravity ซึ่งเป็น cross-chain และเครือข่าย Oracle รวมทั้งแพลตฟอร์ม [Decentralized Finance (DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-decentralized-finance)) ที่มุ่งเน้นไปที่ Neutrino Waves DEX คือการซื้อขายแลกเปลี่ยนสกุลเงินดิจิทัลแบบกระจาย

ในปี 2020 Waves ประกาศว่าแพลตฟอร์มของตนจะสามารถทำงานร่วมกันกับเครือข่ายของ Ethereum โดยปล่อยโทเคน WAVES ที่เป็นสินทรัพย์มาตรฐาน ERC-20

#### มีเหรียญ Waves (WAVES) อยู่ในระบบหมุนเวียนเท่าไร?

WAVES เริ่มต้นด้วยโทเคนแบบ fixed-cap สำหรับแพลตฟอร์ม Waves ด้วยจำนวน 100 ล้านโทเคน

ใน ICO ซึ่งเพิ่ม 30,000 BTC นั้น 85% ของอุปทานถูกส่งไปยังผู้เข้าร่วมการขาย 4% ไปยังคู่ค้าและผู้สนับสนุน 9% ไปยังนักพัฒนา และ 1% ไปยังผู้สนับสนุนรายแรก และแผนการให้รางวัล bounty ซึ่งเกิดขึ้นหลังจาก ICO

ยูทิลิตี้เพิ่มขึ้นตามเวลา และในปี 2019 ได้มีการตัดสินใจที่จะยกเลิกมูลค่าจำกัดของซัพพลาย พร้อมกับโอนการตัดสินใจไปยังผู้เข้าร่วมเครือข่ายแทน

ปัจจุบัน block reward คือ 6 WAVES และการเปลี่ยนแปลงใด ๆ จะเกิดขึ้นได้ต้องผ่านการโหวต โดยผู้ใช้ต้องเลือกว่าจะลด block reward ลง 0.5 WAVES ในทุก ๆ 110,000 บล็อก

### เครือข่าย Waves มีความปลอดภัยอย่างไร?

Waves ใช้อัลกอริธึมที่ชื่อว่า WavesNG ซึ่งได้รับการปรับปรุงและ[ผ่านการพิสูจน์การมีส่วนได้ส่วนเสีย](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake)แล้ว เทคโนโลยีนี้มีพื้นฐานมาจาก Bitcoin-NG ซึ่งเป็นข้อเสนอในการปรับขนาดจากผู้สนับสนุน Bitcoin ที่มีชื่อเสียงอย่าง Emin Gün Sirer ผู้พัฒนาของ Cornell University

Waves เน้นว่าโค้ดของตนเป็นแบบ open source ซึ่งสามารถไว้วางใจได้และง่ายต่อการดูแลมากกว่าโซลูชันบล็อกเชนแบบ closed source สำหรับองค์กร

### จะซื้อ Waves (WAVES) ได้จากที่ไหน

ในฐานะสกุลเงินดิจิทัลในตลาดที่มีมานานกว่า 4 ปี WAVES สามารถซื้อขายได้อย่างกว้างขวางในการแลกเปลี่ยนหลากหลายมากมาย

Qtum (pronounced ‘“quantum”)  is a proof-of-stake (PoS) smart contract open-source blockchain platform and value transfer protocol. It aims to bring together the strengths of Bitcoinand Ethereumin one chain. Qtum is built on Bitcoin's UTXO transaction model, with the added functionality of smart contract execution and DApps. Recently, the platform added support for DeFi applications. As of March 2021, there are more than 20 tokens created on the Qtum blockchain.

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

The project was announced in March 2016 and held an ICO a year after, in March 2017, which brought its founders $15 million USD. The Qtum main chain was released on Sept.13, 2017. Initially, the Qtum coin was issued as a ETH-20 token, but with the launch of the mainnet, it was converted to native blockchain.

Qtum

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

The EOS Network is an open-source blockchain platform that prioritizes high performance, flexibility, security, and developer experience. As a third-generation blockchain platform powered by the EOS virtual machine, EOS has an extensible WebAssembly engine for deterministic execution of near fee-less transactions.

EOS is the market's most scalable, divisible, and programmable digital currency. EOS is a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) network where stakeholders have the authority to select node operators. Due to the decentralized nature of the token distribution on EOS, power doesn't reside in the hands of block miners, but rather all parties involved in the EOS Network.

The EOS Network is attractive because of its technology and community. It allows developers to build projects that other blockchains cannot support. The network is straightforward and has multiple tools and educational resources to help users acclimate to the blockchain.

Dash is an open-source blockchain and cryptocurrency focused on offering a fast, cheap global payments network that is decentralized in nature. According to the project's white paper, Dash seeks to improve upon Bitcoin (BTC) by providing stronger privacy and faster transactions.

Dash, whose name comes from "digital cash," was launched in January 2014 as a fork of Litecoin (LTC). Since going live, Dash has grown to include features such as a two-tier network with incentivized nodes, including "masternodes," and decentralized project governance; InstantSend, which allows for instantly settled payments; ChainLocks, which makes the Dash blockchain instantly immutable; and PrivateSend, which offers additional optional privacy for transactions.

Zilliqa is a public, permissionless blockchain that is designed to offer high throughput with the ability to complete thousands of transactions per second. It seeks to solve the issue of blockchain scalability and speed by employing sharding as a second-layer scaling solution. The platform is home to many decentralized applications, and as of October 2020, it also allows for staking and yield farming.

Development work officially started on Zilliqa in June 2017, and its testnet went live in March 2018. A little over a year later, in June 2019, the platform launched its mainnet.

The native utility token of Zilliqa, ZIL, is used to process transactions on the network and execute smart contracts.

Zilliqa

Compound is a DeFi lending protocol that allows users to earn interest on their cryptocurrencies by depositing them into one of several pools supported by the platform.

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

When a user deposits tokens to a Compound pool, they receive cTokens in return. These cTokens represent the individual’s stake in the pool and can be used to redeem the underlying cryptocurrency initially deposited into the pool at any time. For example, by depositing ETH into a pool, you will receive cETH in return. Over time, the exchange rate of these cTokens to the underlying asset increases, which means you can redeem them for more of the underlying asset than you initially put in — this is how the interest is distributed.

On the flip side, borrowers can take a secured loan from any Compound pool by depositing collateral. The maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio varies based on the collateral asset, but currently ranges from 50 to 75%. The interest rate paid varies by borrowed asset and borrowers can face automatic liquidation if their collateral falls below a specific maintenance threshold.

Since the launch of the Compound mainnet in September 2018, the platform has skyrocketed in popularity, and recently passed more than $800 million in total locked value.

Compound

Self-described as "Polkadot's wild cousin," Kusama is an experimental blockchain platform that is designed to provide a massively interoperable and scalable framework for developers.

Kusama is built on Substrate — a blockchain building kit developed by Parity Technologies. Kusama has almost the same codebase as Polkadot — one of the most successful interoperable blockchains.

By deploying on Kusama, fast-paced projects gain access to a highly scalable, interoperable sharded network, with features that are not yet available on Polkadot. To that end, Kusama describes itself as a “canary network.”

The platform is designed to provide a testbed for developers looking to innovate and deploy their own blockchain and can be used as a preparatory network before launching on Polkadot — though many projects opt to stick with Kusama for their final product.

Kusama benefits from a low barrier to entry for deploying parachains, low bond requirements for validators, and is most commonly used by early-stage startups and for experimentation.

Kusama

Zcash is a decentralized cryptocurrency focused on privacy and anonymity. It uses the zk-SNARK zero-knowledge proof technology that allows nodes on the network to verify transactions without revealing any sensitive information about those transactions.

Contrary to a common misunderstanding, the majority of cryptocurrencies on the market, including Bitcoin (BTC), are not anonymous, but rather pseudonymous; while they do not explicitly reveal the identities of their users, each user has their own public address or addresses which can be traced back to them via the methods of data science and blockchain forensics.

Zcash transactions, on the other hand, still have to be relayed via a public blockchain, but unlike pseudonymous cryptocurrencies, ZEC transactions by default do not reveal the sending and receiving addresses or the amount being sent. There is an option, however, to reveal this data for the purposes of auditing or regulatory compliance.

Zcash was first released on October 28, 2016, and it was originally based on Bitcoin’s codebase.

Zcash

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.

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.

OMG Network, formerly known as OmiseGo, is a non-custodial, layer-2 scaling solution built for the Ethereum blockchain. As an Ethereum scaling solution, OMG Network is designed to allow users to transfer ETH and ERC20 tokens significantly faster and cheaper than when transacting directly on the Ethereum network.

The network is based on a novel scaling solution called MoreViable Plasma, which uses a sidechain architecture to group several transactions off-chain into a batch, which can then be verified as a single transaction on the Ethereum root chain. According to OMG Network, this technology has the potential to scale Ethereum to thousands of transactions per second (TPS) — instead of the 10 to 14 tps Ethereum 1.0 is currently capable of.

The network is powered by the OMG utility token, which can be used as one of the payment methods for fees on the OMG Network, and will eventually be stakable — helping to secure the network in return for rewards.

OMG Network

Harmony is a blockchain platform designed to facilitate the creation and use of decentralized applications (DApps). The network aims to innovate the way decentralized applications work by focusing on random state sharding, which allows creating blocks in seconds.

According to the project’s website, Harmony is expected to introduce cross-shard contracts and a cross-chain infrastructure by the end of 2021.

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.

Basic Attention Token

Filecoin is a decentralized storage system that aims to “store humanity’s most important information.” The project raised $205 million in an initial coin offering (ICO) in 2017, and initially planned a launch date for mid-2019. However, the launch date for the Filecoin mainnet was pushed back until block 148,888, which is expected in mid-October 2020.

The project was first described back in 2014 as an incentive layer for the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), a peer-to-peer storage network where users pay for data storage and distribution services in $FIL. Filecoin is open protocol and backed by a blockchain that records commitments made by the network’s participants, with transactions made using FIL, the blockchain’s native currency. The blockchain is based on both proof-of-replication and proof-of-spacetime.

Filecoin is open-source and decentralized, which means that all governance is in the hands of the community. On the Filecoin platform, developers have the opportunity to create cloud file storage services like Dropbox or iCloud. Anyone can join Filecoin and start storing their data or earn money by providing space for someone else's funds. The creators of Filecoin opted for their blockchain technology to run the network and their token with their own consensus.

$FIL is the native currency of Filecoin that powers the entire network and all processes. Clients pay for transactions in FIL tokens. Miners place FIL as collateral, guaranteeing their services.

The developers claim that Filecoin solves the problem of inefficient file storage and retrieval. Customers can find the right solution with an efficient set of tools and its core development, IPFS.

Filecoin

IOTA is a distributed ledger technology (DLT) that features unique architecture and an open-source product suite for individuals, businesses, and institutions to use in Web3. It is built on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) called the Tangle, which can be pictured as a multi-dimensional blockchain. It enables the exchange of data and value on a decentralized platform through direct and secure transfers, executed on and immutably recorded on the network.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive into IOTA.

Together with its staging network Shimmer, IOTA aims to offer solutions to establish a secure and permissionless infrastructure that can drive the economy of the future. It enables the development of decentralized applications through automated trust in the form of Ethereum-compatible smart contracts, an advanced consensus algorithm, and thoughtfully balanced incentives.

IOTA delivers tools for creating and managing custom Layer 2 (EVM) chains, deploying smart contracts, minting native tokens and NFTs with distinctive features, and introducing digital identities to users.

Launching in 2024, IOTA 2.0 will be a protocol upgrade that rebuilds IOTA’s architecture to deliver full decentralization. You can find more about it here.
