## DigiByte (DGB) کیا ہے؟

DigiByte (DGB) ایک اوپن سورس [بلاک چین](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) اور اثاثہ تخلیق کرنے کا پلیٹ فارم ہے۔ اکتوبر 2013 میں اس کی ڈویلپمنٹ کا آغاز ہوا اور جنوری 2014 میں [Bitcoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/bitcoin/) (BTC) فورک کی حیثیت سے، اس کے DGB ٹوکن کا [genesis بلاک](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/genesis-block) مائن کیا گیا۔

DigiByte ایک پائیدار عوامی بلاک چین اور کرپٹو کرنسی کی حیثیت سے اپنی سکیورٹی کو بہتر بنانے کے لیے پانچ مختلف الگورتھمز کو استعمال میں لاتی ہے، اور اس کا بنیادی مقصد Bitcoin بلاک چین کی سکیورٹی، استعداد اور ٹرانزیکشن کی رفتار کو بہتر کرنا ہے۔

DigiByte تین سطحوں پر مشتمل ہے: ایک اسمارٹ معاہدے کا "ایپ اسٹور،" ایک عوامی لیجر اور بنیادی پروٹوکول جس میں ریلے ٹرانزیکشنز سے مواصلت کرنے والی نوڈز شامل ہیں۔

### DigiByte کے بانیان کون ہیں؟

DigiByte کو Jared Tate نے بنایا تھا، جنہیں "DigiMan" کے نام سے بھی جانا جاتا ہے، انہوں نے مئی 2020 میں اپنے عہدے سے عارضی سبکدوشی کا اعلان کرنے سے پہلے، اس کی ڈویلپمنٹ سے لے کر موجودہ سیٹ اپ تک تمام تشکیل کاری کی نگرانی کی۔

Tate اس کے بعد واپس آ گئے ہیں، اور ستمبر 2020 تک ایک بار پھر DigiByte کی ترقی میں نمایاں کردار ادا کرتے نظر آ رہے ہیں۔

Tate کی سوانح حیات میں لکھا ہے کہ وہ 2012 کے بعد سے Bitcoin کے ساتھ منسلک تھے، اور بلاک چین کے بانی کی طرف سے لکھی گئی پہلی کتاب، "Blockchain 2035: The Digital DNA of Internet 3.0" کے مصنف تھے۔

DigiByte کی کارروائیاں نہ صرف اس کے ڈویلپرز پر بلکہ DigiByte فاؤنڈیشن پر بھی منحصر ہیں، یہ ایک رضاکار تنظیم ہے جسے اس پراجیکٹ کی بحالی کی نگرانی کا کام سونپا گیا ہے۔ رضاکاروں کا ایک تیسرا گروپ، DigiByte کی آگاہی ٹیم، مارکیٹنگ اور تشہیری سرگرمیوں کے حوالے سے ذمہ دار ہے۔

### کیا چیز DigiByte کو منفرد بناتی ہے؟

DigiByte Bitcoin ہی کی ایک ترمیم ہے جس کا مقصد سکیورٹی، رفتار اور استعداد کے امکانات کو متنوع بنانا ہے۔

ایک اوپن سورس بلاک چین اور اس سے وابستہ کرپٹو کرنسی، کی حیثیت سے اس کی پہلی عملی شکل DGB کی صورت میں سامنے آئی۔ اس نیٹ ورک کے پانچ الگ الگورتھمز ہیں جو سکیورٹی کو برقرار رکھنے میں مدد کرتے ہیں اور ASIC مائنرز کو بہت زیادہ طاقت حاصل کرنے سے روکنے میں مدد دیتے ہیں۔

بعد میں، ایک اور پیشکش، DigiAssets، بھی رونما ہوئی، جس کا مقامی ٹوکن DGB تھا۔ DigiAssets ان ڈویلپرز کے لیے پُرکشش ہے جو ڈیجیٹل اثاثہ جات، غیر مرکزی ایپلی کیشنز (DApps) کو شروع کرنا چاہتے ہیں اور ضروری متعلقہ اسمارٹ معاہدوں کو مرموز کرتے ہیں۔

DigiByte کے تمام گورننس اسٹرکچرز رضاکارانہ بنیادوں پر چلائے جاتے ہیں، جو اس نظریے کے ساتھ ہم آہنگ ہیں کہ نیٹ ورک کو اوپن سورس اور عوامی طور پر قابل رسائی ہونا چاہیئے۔ بلاک چین کی توثیق کے لیے درکار ٹرانزیکشن کی فیسیں [مائنرز](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/how-long-does-it-take-to-mine-one-bitcoin) کو DGB کی صورت میں ادا کی جاتی ہیں۔

### فی الوقت کل کتنے DigiByte (DGB) کوائنز گردش میں ہیں؟

DigiByte (DGB) ایک [پروف آف ورک](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) (PoW) کرپٹو کرنسی ہے، اور مائنرز کو بلاکس کی توثیق کے عوض بلاک انعامات کے ذریعے ٹوکنز دیے جاتے ہیں۔

جنوری 2014 میں، DGB کی کُل سپلائی کا 0.5% حصہ (105 ملین کوائنز) پیشگی مائن ہوا تھا۔ پیشگی مائن کا 50% حصہ ڈویلپمنٹ کے مقاصد کے لیے مختص کیا گیا تھا، جبکہ بقیہ تقسیم کیا گیا تھا۔

DGB کے پاس 21 بلین ٹوکنز کی ہارڈ سپلائی کیپ موجود ہے، جس میں اجراء کم ہونے کے نتیجے میں مائننگ اخراج کی کرو تشکیل دیتی ہے — بلاک کا انعام ہر ماہ 1% کم ہوتا ہے۔

DigiByte کا دعویٰ ہے کہ اس نے ابتدائی کوائن کی پیشکش ([ICO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-coin-offering-ico)) یا یکساں ٹوکن کی فروخت جیسے آلات کے ذریعے فنڈز اکٹھا کرنے یا ٹوکن دینے کی دیدہ دانستہ کوشش نہیں کی۔

### DigiByte نیٹ ورک کو کس طرح سے محفوظ بنایا جاتا ہے؟

DigiByte بلاک چین کو محفوظ بنانے اور دوہرے خرچ یا [51% حملوں](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/51-attack) کے خطرے کو کم کرنے کے لیے، کُل پانچ پروف آف ورک الگورتھمز استعمال کرتا ہے۔

دشواری کی ایڈجسٹمنٹس مائننگ کے دائرہ کار کے اندر مخالفانہ چالوں کے خلاف لچک پذیری کو یقینی بناتی ہیں، جبکہ DigiByte یہ دعویٰ بھی کرتی ہے کہ اس کے پاس کرپٹو کرنسیز میں اس طرح کی دشواری کا جدید ترین سیٹ اپ موجود ہے۔

DigiByte کی بلاک چین ہر 15 سیکنڈز کے بعد تقریباً ایک بلاک کے ساتھ، لانچ کے بعد سے اپنے PoW بلاک چین کو دیرپا ثابت کرنے میں کامیاب ہوا ہے، مثال کے طور پر، اب اس کے پاس Bitcoin کے مقابلے میں PoW کی نہایت طویل چین موجود ہے۔

### آپ DigiByte (DGB) کو کہاں سے خرید سکتے ہیں؟

DGB ایک بآسانی ٹریڈ ہونے والا altcoin ہے اور یہ کئی ایکسچینجز پر دستیاب ہے۔ کرپٹو کرنسیز، اسٹیبل کوائنز، اور فیاٹ کرنسیز کے لیے ٹریڈنگ کے جوڑے دستیاب ہیں۔

ستمبر 2020 تک DGB ٹریڈنگ کے جوڑوں کے حجم میں Bilaxy، [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/exchanges/binance/)، Sistemkoin اور [OKEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/exchanges/okex/) کا بڑا حصہ تھا۔

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.

Verge is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency and blockchain that seeks to offer a fast, efficient, decentralized payments network that improves upon the original Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain. It includes additional privacy features including integrating the anonymity network Tor into its wallet, called vergePay, and providing the option of sending transactions to stealth addresses.

The project describes itself as community-driven, relying on volunteers and priding itself on being open source.

Verge was first launched in October 2014 as DogeCoinDark, a fork of Peercoin (PPC). In February 2016, it was renamed Verge in order to rebrand for easier mass-market adoption and to distinguish itself from Dogecoin (DOGE), with which it has no direct connection. The project is now based on the Bitcoin source code.

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.

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

VeChainThor (VET) is a versatile enterprise-grade L1 smart contract platform whose origins began in 2015. VeChain is known as a pioneer of real-world enterprise applications, and built a distributed platform powered by Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, NFC chips and blockchain to help various industries solve data-related challenges.

VeChain solves major blockchain adoption hurdles. The platform uses an intelligent two token model, VET and VTHO, separating the protocol's Store of Value and gas fee payment mechanisms, ensuring costs can be kept low and stable. Fee delegation allows smart contracts to pay gas fees on behalf of business users, and an advanced transaction model allows data to be packaged more efficiently while ensuring finality of data.

VeChain is focused on delivering a wave of incentive-based sustainability dApps through its new platform, VeBetterDAO, working closely with Boston Consulting Group to achieve adoption across enterprise and individual users, and helping  onboard the next billion users to Web3 over the coming decade.

From supply chains to sustainability, VeChain has continuously demonstrated its leading role as a driver of blockchain in business, and is dedicated to its role as a pioneer of driving real world adoption of blockchain technology.

Stellar (XLM) is a peer-to-peer (P2P) decentralized network created in 2014 by The Stellar Development Foundation or Stellar.org. The network officially launched in 2015 with the purpose of connecting the world's financial systems and ensuring a protocol for payment providers and financial institutions. The platform is designed to move financial resources swiftly and reliably at minimal cost. Stellar links people, banks, payment processors and allows users to create, send and trade multiple types of crypto.

The basis of the network is its native digital currency - XLM or Lumens. XLM acts as an intermediate currency for operations and is also used to pay transaction fees. How it works: the protocol converts money in a few seconds, first into XLM, and then into the requested currency.

The Stellar payment protocol is based on distributed ledger technology -- an open-source development, community-owned and distributed by community. The crypto asset of the Stellar platform helps with cross-border transactions, overcoming the problems of high fees and slow procedures. XLM is more focused on assisting individuals transfer money than they are with institutions. Thus, Stellar offers access to financial systems, and people can send money at low cost and promptly around the world.

Moreover, Stellar serves as a decentralized exchange and marketplace, with a built-in order book that tracks ownership of Stellar assets. Platform users can manage buy/sell orders, as well as select and set their preferred assets in settlements. XLM is a built-in coin that helps reduce transaction fees.

The network maintains a high level of security.  XLM holders must have at least one token in order to remain active on the network. This nuance performs a global goal - the execution of network transactions efficiently and with minimal time costs. Plus, Lumens offers protection against flood attacks by making microtransactions too expensive for hackers with no chance of profit, which keeps Stellar Network safe from serious threats.

The target audience of Stellar is the inhabitants of developing countries, ordinary users who are provided access to the global economy through fast, simple and inexpensive transactions. Stellar Network makes extensive use of Lumens to produce live convection as well as to send cash in multiple currencies; currency is sent from one peer, and the recipient can receive the amount in another currency. This feature is beneficial when a transaction is made between currencies without widely traded pairs.

Support for multi-currency transactions is another competitive advantage of Stellar, and the ability for cross-currency transactions has only enhanced processes with foreign operations. Moreover, stable speed and low transaction costs are a privilege that users receive.

This functionality is powered by a development called Anchors (a bridge between different currencies and the network), which simplifies the exchange within the network and helps speed up the whole process.

In summary, the benefits of Stellar (XLM) include:

Billed as "digital money for the modern world," nano is a lightweight cryptocurrency that is designed to facilitate secure, practically instant payments, without fees, and addresses some of the major limitations of both legacy financial infrastructure, and many modern cryptocurrencies.

Development of the project began in 2014 under the name RaiBlocks, and the coin (then termed XRB) launched the following year through a public faucet, which allowed users to claim small amounts of XRB after completing a captcha challenge. Anyone with access to a computer or phone could solve captchas, and be rewarded with RaiBlocks. The number of XRB people received per solved captcha varied over time

RaiBlocks (XRB) was rebranded to Nano in January 2018, with the new name chosen to better represent the speed and simplicity the project offers to users.

It is a peer-to-peer platform that uses a unique block-lattice data structure to allow users to easily transfer value to one another without relying on centralized intermediaries.

Unlike other platforms which typically use the combined proof-of-work of a massive mining network to achieve consensus, nano instead uses a system known as Open Representative Voting (ORV) — which sees account holders vote for their chosen representative, who then work to confirm blocks of transactions securely.

ORV makes Nano extremely energy efficient, positioning it as a more environmentally friendly alternative to proof-of-work (POW)-based cryptocurrencies.

In November, 2021, aiming to bring nano to the real world and to comply with the globally-recognized standards of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) requirements, nano adopted a new ticker and a standard symbol: XNO and Ӿ.

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.

0x Protocol

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.
