# What Is Push Protocol ($PUSH), previously Ethereum Push Notification Service?

The [Push Protocol](http://push.org/), previously Ethereum Push Notification Service or EPNS, is the communication protocol of web3. Push protocol enables cross-chain notifications and messaging for [dapps](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-applications-dapps), wallets, and services tied to wallet addresses in an open, gasless, and platform agnostic fashion. The open communication layer allows any crypto wallet / frontend to tap into the network and get the communication across.

Since its launch in January 2022, Push has powered over 17 million decentralized notifications to over 60,000 subscribers and counting, becoming the de facto communication layer for web3.

## Who Are the Founders of Push Protocol?

Harsh Rajat and Richa Joshi founded Push Protocol. 

Harsh Rajat is the founder and chief technology officer of Push Protocol. Harsh has been a decentralization advocate since 2015. Prior to Push, he was chief technology officer in his previous firms.

Richa Joshi is a consulting veteran turned startup founder. Before co-founding Push, she was a senior consultant at Deloitte Consulting.


### What Makes Ethereum Push Notification Service Unique?

For web3, a notification mechanism that can notify users or wallet addresses of important updates, events, actions and so on, does not exist yet. As a result of this lack, a lot of important events or required user actions end up being missed completely: for example, the expiration of ENS blockchain domains is inefficiently broadcast on Twitter, with the hopes that the grace domain user potentially reads about their domain’s expiry. If a protocol gets compromised, people have to look for other methods (besides the now-compromised protocol) through which they can notify the users. 

Push tries to solve this with its push notification service.

To do this efficiently, the notification is stored and treated like a JSON payload, and this is transformed as per the rules of the different carriers when the notification ends up reaching them. The JSON payload can differ with payload types, and this ensures the flexibility of the content, as well as the data, storage interpretation and delivery.

What this means is that Push can allow users to be in direct, full control of what services they end up getting notifications from, and impose rules on the services, which includes spam protection for users, and limits for Push ability to add wallets as subscribers. This means that notifications are treated as a social feed rather than a piece of information.

There are four types of users: service providers, which want to send notifications, users, who want to receive notifications if they deem them to be beneficial, wallets enable users to receive notifications through their centralized or decentralized solutions, and token holders, who can define the rules between the above users.

## How Many Ethereum Push Notification Service (PUSH) Coins Are There in Circulation?

The protocol’s token PUSH is designed to incentivize the continued adoption cycle of the Push protocol. In order to achieve this, users that are involved are rewarded through either an incentive or a penalty. Their continued involvement is a necessity for the growth as well as the adoption of the protocol, and to achieve the vision of becoming a Web 3.0 notification standard.


### How Is the Ethereum Push Notification Service Network Secured?

The Ethereum Push Notification Service Network will use Eth-Crypto to handle the secure verification process. This is a cryptographic JavaScript-function enabler for [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/).

Tranchess Protocol is the brainchild of Co-Founder Danny Chong and Team. The concept was incepted in 2020 with a team across diverse experiences and roles in tech firms such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft to Investment Banks such as Morgan Stanley, UBS and BNP Paribas.

Our tech team is particularly experienced with cyber security in trading and DeFi protocols, their knowledge in smart contract coding is additive to the maintenance and upgrades in years to come.

Danny himself had worked at both BNP Paribas and Societe Generale, holding positions across his career from trading, sales and management regionally in FICC space.

It is the team’s vision to empower users of DeFi with Omni Asset Management capabilities and contributing to the paradigm shift from Traditional Finance to DeFi. And in time, to offer a full product suite in Asset Management Protocols, tailored for DeFi users across risk capacities and appetites.

Multichain (MULTI), previously known as Anyswap, claims to be the ultimate router for web3 and has positioned itself as an infrastructure developed for arbitrary cross-chain interactions.

As claimed in their official documentation, Multichain offers solutions that enable nearly all blockchains to interconnect – regardless if it is EVM chains (e.g., Avalanche), Layer 2 chains tied to Ethereum (like Polygon), Parachains networks like Moonbeam on Polkadot, and so on.

Multichain is a prominent name in the cross-chain space, with a rapidly growing network of 26 chains, with Total Value Locked (TVL) reaching highs of over $10.45 billion, and a sustained daily volume of over $100 million. However, the onset of the bear market and recent news of Multichain CEO being uncontactable saw TVL dropping to $1.38B.

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.

Stella is the leveraged strategies protocol with 0% cost to borrow. Stella’s mission is to redefine how leveraged DeFi works. DeFi needs a good leverage system in order to drive more usages on DEXes and money markets, the fundamental building blocks of DeFi. With growing usages on these fundamentals, more protocols and new innovations can arise and tap into the deep liquidity and robust foundation.

Stella strives to become the go-to destination for DeFi users to access maximum yield potential. Whatever on-chain strategies that users want to use on leverage (and safe enough to be supported), then Stella will support at 0% cost to borrow.

The protocol is made up of two parts: Stella Strategy and Stella Lend.

Stella Strategy: Users can access multiple selections of leveraged strategies with 0% borrowing interest for the first time and get yields on leverage.

Stella Lend: Lenders can lend assets to the lending pools on Stella and get real yields. Yields generated from Stella Strategy are shared to lenders.
