## Що таке IOST (IOST)?

IOST описує себе як «надшвидку», повноцінну та [децентралізовану](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized) [блокчейн](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) [мережу](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/network) та екосистему з власними вузлами, [гаманцями](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/wallets) на основі [протоколу](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/protocol) [консенсусу](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus) «наступного покоління», який називається "підтвердження правдоподібності proof-of-believability".

### Хто заснував IOST?

Проєкт був запущений у січні 2018 року Джиммі Чжуном (Jimmy Zhong), Терренсом Вангом (Terrence Wang), Джастіном Лі (Justin Li), Реєм Сяо (Ray Xiao), Са Вангом (Sa Wang) та Кевіном Таном (Kevin Tan).

Чжун заснував інші технологічні стартапи у США та Китаї. Під час навчання в університеті, він продав свою першу компанію за 40 мільйонів доларів — торгову площадку, де студенти могли обмінюватися конспектами. Після цього, він повернувся до Пекіна і став співзасновником IOST, серед інших проєктів.

Попередній досвід Ванга включає роботу інженером-програмістом в Uber. Він отримав ступінь з інформатики в Університеті Міннесоти та магістра інформатики у Прінстонському університеті.

Раніше Лі працював консультантом з інвестиційно-банківської діяльності у Goldman Sachs і спеціалістом із обробки даних у Mobike. Закінчив освіту за спеціальністю «Прикладна математика та інформатика». Тим часом, Тан був співзасновником Ethercap протягом отримання ступеню з інформатики в Університеті Цінхуа.

Сяо — разом із Джиммі та Са заснував Dora — компанію зі штучним інтелектом, зосереджену на інтелектуальних кіосках. Він вивчав інформатику та кількісну економіку в університеті.

### В чому унікальність IOST?

Блокчейн-інфраструктура IOST має відкритий код і розроблена, щоб бути безпечною та масштабованою — все у надії стати основою для онлайн-сервісів у майбутньому.

Команда розробила [алгоритм](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/algorithm) [консенсусу](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus) «підтвердження правдоподібності proof-of-believability» для гарантії безпеки та ефективності [транзакцій](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/transaction-tx) у мережі.

Однією з найбільших проблем, яку IOST прагне вирішити - що великі компанії можуть бути не в змозі використовувати блокчейни у орієнтованому на клієнтів середовищі, якщо вони не є масштабованими. Internet of Services Token висувається як спосіб вирішення цієї проблеми.

Щоб зрозуміти IOST, найкращим спосібом є порівняння його з найближчими конкурентами: [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/uk/currencies/ethereum) - найпопулярнішою платформою смарт-контрактів для розробників. Його також можна порівняти з [EOS](https://coinmarketcap.com/uk/currencies/eos) та [TRON](https://coinmarketcap.com/uk/currencies/tron), які є високомасштабованими платформами смарт-контрактів з високим рівнем використання.

Найбільша різниця між IOST та його конкурентами полягає, як стверджує IOST, у його можливості обробляти до 100 000 транзакцій на секунду у порівнянні з 20 Ethereum, 2 000 Tron та 4 000 EOS.

Для досягнення такої швидкості транзакцій, команда IOST створила нову архітектуру блокчейну, яка впроваджує та поєднує кілька нововведень, включаючи протокол розподіленої випадковості Distributed Randomness Protocol, ефективний розподілений шардінг Efficient Distributed Sharding, TransEpoch, Atomix, підтвердження правдоподібності Proof-of-Believability та Micro State Blocks.

### Скільки монет IOST (IOST) у обігу?

IOST має загальний запас токенів у 21 мільярд. У січні 2018 року було проведено ICO, на якому було продано 40%, що на той час зібрало близько 31,3 мільйона доларів ETH.

Щодо решти, то 35% залишилося за Фондом IOST, 12,5% було виділено на розбудову спільноти, 10% дісталося команді IOST і 2,5% було виділено інвесторам та радникам.

### Як захищена мережа IOST?

Щоб конкурувати із сотнями нішевих блокчейнів, IOST у значній мірі покладається на свій протокол підтвердження правдоподібності proof-of-believability (PoB) та ефективний розподілений шардінг efficient distributed sharding (EDS) для покращення масштабованості та безпеки свого блокчейну.

IOST створено для корпоративного використання, тому стверджується, що вона може витримувати великі навантаження, створені великими технологічними компаніями, такими як Amazon, Google та Facebook. Партнерство є ключем до успіху проєкту.

### Де можна купити IOST (IOST)?

IOST成立于2017年，得到红杉资本、经纬、甄选等全球一线美元投资机构的支持。

IOST是为在线服务商开发的企业级区块链应用平台。

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.

DigiByte (DGB) is an open source blockchain and asset creation platform. Development began in October 2013 and the genesis block of its DGB token was mined in January 2014 as a fork of Bitcoin (BTC).

A longstanding public blockchain and cryptocurrency, DigiByte uses five different algorithms to improve security, and originally aimed to improve on the Bitcoin blockchain’s security, capacity and transaction speed.

DigiByte consists of three layers: a smart contract “App Store,” a public ledger and the core protocol featuring nodes communicating to relay transactions.

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.

Ontology

Siacoin (SC) is the native utility token of Sia, a blockchain-based distributed, decentralized cloud storage platform. Sia acts as a secure, trustless marketplace for cloud storage in which users can lease access to their unused storage space. Agreements and transactions are enforced with smart contracts, and Siacoin is the medium of exchange for paying for storage on the network. The main goal of the project is to become the "backbone storage layer of the internet."

Sia was originally announced in May 2014 before being revised and re-announced a year later in May 2015. It officially launched in June 2015.

Siacoin

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

Holo is a peer-to-peer distributed platform for hosting decentralized applications built using Holochain, a framework for developing DApps that does not require the use of blockchain technology. The goal of Holo is to serve as a bridge between the broader internet and apps built using Holochain, offering an ecosystem and marketplace in which DApps are easily accessible, as they are hosted on the internet by Holo network participants.

The Holo network will be facilitated using a token called HoloFuel, which is actively being tested and will act as an accounting system to pay hosts for their services. In 2018, the project minted an ERC-20 token, HOT — also known as HoloToken — as an "IOU" that will be redeemable for HoloFuel upon launch.

Holo is still in development and is expected to launch for open alpha and beta testing by 2021.

Holo

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.

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.

JUST is a popular new decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem built for the TRON blockchain. It is an entire suite of products that are mostly centered around a decentralized stablecoin lending platform known as JustStable.

The platform launched in August 2020 following an initial exchange offering (IEO) on the Poloniex LaunchBase platform earlier that same year, but the native governance token of the platform (JST) has been circulating since May 2020.

It is a two-token ecosystem built around the USDJ and JUST (JST) tokens. USDJ is a multi-collateral stablecoin that has its value pegged to the value of the US dollar (USD), whereas JST has a variety of functions on the platform — paying interest, helping maintain the platform and participating in its governance, helping to set parameters like interest rates (stability fees) and the minimum collateralization ratio.

To obtain USDJ on JUST, traders need to deposit collateral in the form of supported collateral tokens — including TRON (TRX), which are exchanged to PTRX tokens and locked as collateral forming a collateralized debt position (CDP). Depending on the amount of collateral deposited, users can then mint and withdraw USDJ, which must later be repaid to retrieve the initial collateral.

The platform is designed to provide a fair and borderless hub of DeFi products, that any TRON user can access.

JUST

Celer is a blockchain interoperability
protocol enabling a one-click user experience accessing tokens, DeFi, GameFi, NFTs, governance, and more across multiple chains. Developers can build inter-chain-native Dapps using the Celer Inter-chain Messaging Framework to gain access to efficient liquidity utilization, coherent application logic, and shared states. Users of Celer-enabled dApps will enjoy the benefits of a diverse multi-blockchain ecosystem with the simplicity of a single-transaction UX, all from a single chain.

Celer Network

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

Ren (REN) is an open protocol built to provide interoperability and liquidity between different blockchain platforms.

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

Formerly known as Republic Protocol, Ren launched RenVM, its virtual machine mainnet, in May 2020, having completed a $34 million initial coin offering (ICO) in 2018.

The protocol’s native token, REN, functions as a bond for those running nodes which power RenVM, known as Darknodes.

Ren aims to expand the interoperability, and hence accessibility, of decentralized finance (DeFi) by removing hurdles involved in liquidity between blockchains.

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

Ravencoin is a digital peer-to-peer (P2P) network that aims to implement a use case specific blockchain, designed to efficiently handle one specific function: the transfer of assets from one party to another. Built on a fork of the Bitcoin code, Ravencoin was announced on Oct. 31, 2017 and released binaries for mining on Jan. 3, 2018 with what is called a fair launch: no premine, ICO or masternodes. It was named in reference to a TV show Game of Thrones.
