## Orchid (OXT) کیا ہے؟

Orchid (OXT)، Orchid کا مقامی ٹوکن ہے، جسے کرپٹو کرنسی سے تقویت یافتہ ورچوئل پرائیویٹ نیٹ ورک (VPN) چلاتا ہے۔

Orchid جس کا آغاز دسمبر، سنہ 2019 میں ہوا، دُنیا کا پہلا ترغیبی و پیئر ٹو پیئر رازداری پر مبنی نیٹ ورک ہونے کا دعویٰ کرتا ہے۔

اس کا ہدف کرپٹو کرنسیوں کی ادائیگیوں کو استعمال کرتے ہوئے انٹرنیٹ پر آزادی کی حدود پر غلبہ پانا ہے، تاکہ کوئی بھی فرد، حصہ لینے والے کسی بھی فراہم کنندہ سے بینڈوڈتھ خرید سکے۔ یہ نام نہاد ممکنہ نینو ادائیگیوں کو استعمال کرتے ہوئے کیا جاتا ہے، جو Ethereum پر OXT نامی [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) ٹوکن کے ذریعے انجام دی ج ہیں۔

فراہم کنندگان کو باقاعدہ ادائیگیاں آف چین کی جاتی ہیں، تاکہ Orchid کو Ethereum نیٹ ورک پر بھیڑ اور [گیس کی فیس](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/gas-price) جیسے مسائل کا سامنا نہ کرنا پڑے۔

اس سروس کا معاوضہ 'ادائیگی فی استعمال' کی بنیاد پر لیا جاتا ہے، جس کا مطلب ہے کہ صارفین کو صرف اسی صورت میں فنڈز دینے ہوں گے، جب ان کے مابین حقیقتاً رابطہ قائم ہو گا۔

### Orchird کے بانیان کون ہیں؟

Orchid کے چار مشترکہ بانیوں کا تعلق بلاک چین اور مالیاتی اداروں سے ہے۔ جن میں شامل ہیں ڈاکٹر Steven Waterhouse، جوکہ CEO ہیں، Jay Freeman، Brian J. Fox اور Gustav Simonsson۔

کرپٹو کرنسی کی صنعت میں Waterhouse کا نام کافی مقبول ہے، جنہوں نے Pantera Capital نامی وینچر کیپیٹل آؤٹ فٹ کی مشترکہ بُنیاد بھی رکھی، جو اس انڈسٹری کی بعض مقبول ترین کمپنیوں میں سرمایہ کاری کی ذمہ دار بھی ہے۔

Cydia کی تخلیق کا سہرا بھی Freeman کو جاتا ہے، جو جیل بروکن Apple ڈیوائسز کے لئے تیار کردہ Apple ایپ اسٹور کا مُتبادل ہے، جسے اب تک تقریباً 30 ملین افراد، جیل بروکن Apple پراڈکٹس کے لئے استعمال کر چُکے ہیں۔

Fox نے 1990 کی دہائی کے درمیانے برسوں میں United States Bank بنایا، جوکہ Wells Fargo کا پہلا تعاملاتی آن لائن بینکنگ سسٹم تھا۔

جبکہ Simonsson، جو نہ صرف 2015 میں Ethereum نیٹ ورک کے اصل آغاز میں مددگار ثابت ہوئے بلکہ اس کی سکیورٹی سے متعلق مرکزی ٹیم کے ڈویلپرز میں سے بھی ایک ہیں۔

سرکاری اطلاعات کے مطابق، Waterhouse، ایک [SIM-سواپ اٹیک](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/sim-swap) کا نشانہ بننے کے بعد اس حوالے سے خبردار ہو گئے، کہ انہیں انٹرنیٹ کی رازداری میں مزید بہتری لانے کی ضرورت ہے، چناچہ، انہوں نے VPN ٹیکنالوجی پر تحقیق کا آغاز کیا۔

### وہ کیا چیز ہے، جو Orchird کو منفرد بناتی ہے؟

Orchid کے پس پردہ موجود مرکزی خیال، VPN کے موجودہ تجربے کو بہتر بنانے کے لیے بلاک چین ٹیکنالوجی کا استعمال ہے۔

کرپٹو کرنسی پر مبنی ممکنہ نینو ادائیگیوں کو استعمال کرتے ہوئے صارفین، VPN کے اُس گمنام استعمال سے استفادہ کر سکتے ہیں، جس کا دارومدار کسی مرکزی سرور، اور کسی خاص مُلک کے اساسی ڈھانچے سے وابستہ خطرات سے نہیں ہوتا۔

آزادانہ طور پر قابل تبادلہ ERC-20 ٹوکن کی حیثیت سے، OXT، مالکان کے لیے نیٹ ورک کی قدر کی ملکیت اور اس میں اضافے کے لیے ٹریڈنگ کی مراعت بھی فراہم کرتا ہے۔

ایک علیحدہ فیچر، صارفین کو فیاٹ کرنسی کے بدلے میں نام نہاد "Orchid کریڈٹس" خریدنے کی اجازت بھی دیتا ہے۔ اس صورت میں، OXT کو نکلوایا نہیں جا سکتا، اور نہ ہی کہیں اور تبدیل کیا جا سکتا ہے۔،تا ہم، اسے صرف نیٹ ورک کے فراہم کنندگان کے پاس خرچ کیا جا سکتا ہے۔ یہ ان لوگوں کو راغب کرنے کے لیے ڈیزائن کیا گیا ہے، جو کرپٹو کرنسی میں سرمایہ کاری کرنا نہیں چاہتے۔

تاہم، Orchid کی یہ اپیل صرف کرپٹو کرنسی کے صارفین تک محدود نہیں۔ ڈویلپرز، جغرافیائی سیاست کے حوالے سے بڑھتے ہوئے تنائو، اور مقامی پابندیوں کو مدّ نظر رکھتے ہوئے، انٹرنیٹ پر آزادی کے ایک بڑھتے ہوئے رُجحان کو اُجاگر کر رہے ہیں۔

Web 3.0 ٹیکنالوجی کو ایک ایسے کُھلے انٹرنیٹ کی جھلکی دکھانے کے لئے استعمال کیا جاتا ہے، جیسا کہ 1990 کی دہائی کے اوائل ایام میں صارفین کو مرکزی دھارے کی رسائی حاصل ہونے پر ارادہ کیا گیا تھا۔

### فی الوقت کل کتنے Orchid (OXT) کوائنز گردش میں ہیں؟

OXT کی سپلائی، 1,000,000,000 (1 بلین) یونٹس پر مشتمل ہے۔ اس وقت افراط زر بالکل نہیں ہے، لیکن ںیٹ ورک پر ہونے والے ایک باقاعدہ عمل کی حیثیت سے،OXT ٹوکنز کا ممکنہ ضیاع، افراط زر کے امکان کو برقرار رکھتا ہے۔

کُل سپلائی میں سے، 51.13% نیٹ ورک کی ترغیبات کے لئے (Orchid کے خزانے میں موجود ہیں)، اور بعض، دیگر مقاصد کے لئے مُختص کئے گئے ہیں۔ 17.3% سرمایہ کاروں کو سیڈ سادہ معاہدے کے حصے کے طور پر Future ٹوکنز (SAFT) میں، جبکہ 4.49%، SAFT 2a کے لیے، اور 3.38%، SAFT 2b کے لیے مختص کر دیے گئے تھے۔

بچ جانے والے ٹوکنز چار ڈویلپمنٹ ٹیمز کے مابین تقسیم کر دیے جائیں گے۔ ٹوکنز کے مقصد اور مقام کے لحاظ سے، کئی ملکیتی معمولات مقرر کیے گئے ہیں۔

### Orchird نیٹ ورک کو کیسے محفوظ بنایا جاتا ہے؟

OXT، Ethereum پر ERC-20 کا معیاری ٹوکن ہے، اور سکیورٹی کو لاحق زیادہ تر خطرات، اٹیکر کی اُس صلاحیت کے گرد گھومتے ہیں، جس کے ذریعے وہ Orchid سے صارف کا ڈیٹا حاصل کرتا ہے۔

اس بات کو مدنظر رکھتے ہوئے، کہ ادائیگیوں کے لئے مخصوص پلیٹ فارم کے اسمارٹ معاہدوں میں نہایت ہی محدود معلومات موجود ہوتی ہیں، چین کے کمزور لنکس زیادہ تر صارف ہی کے پاس موجود ہوتے ہیں۔ ڈویلپرز کے مشاہدے کے مطابق، Orchid استعمال کرتے ہوئے ٹوکن خریدنے کے عمل میں کسی فریق ثالث کی شمولیت — مثال کے طور پر، بڑے ایکسجینجز — اٹیکر کو بذریعہ ٹرانزیکشنز، ان کے ایکسچینج والیٹ کا راستہ دکھا کر صارفین کی شناخت عیاں کر سکتی ہے۔

### آپ Orchid (OXT) کہاں سے خرید سکتے ہیں؟

OXT باآسانی Binance، Kraken اور Coinbase Pro جیسے بڑے ایکسجینجز پر ٹریڈ کیا جا سکتا ہے، جن کے پاس کرپٹو کرنسی، اسٹیبل کوئن، اور فیاٹ جوڑے دستیاب ہوں۔

Bancor is an ecosystem of decentralized, open-source protocols that promote on-chain trading and liquidity.

Its main protocol, Carbon, is a decentralized trading protocol allowing users to perform automated trading strategies using custom on-chain limit orders and range orders, with the option of combining orders together to create automated buy low, sell high strategies.

By design, Carbon orders are irreversible on execution, easily adjustable directly on-chain, and resistant to MEV sandwich attacks. These capabilities give users an unprecedented level of control and automation to perform novel trading strategies on-chain.

Fast Lane, a separate open-source arbitrage protocol, allows any user to perform arbitrage between Bancor ecosystem protocols and external on-chain exchanges and redirect arbitrage profits back to the Bancor ecosystem.

All Bancor ecosystem protocols are governed by the BancorDAO via staked BNT.

Civic is a blockchain-based identity management solution that gives individuals and businesses the tools they need to control and protect personal identity information.

The platform is designed to change the way we think about identity verification by giving users more control over their personal data, while allowing them to access a wide range of services without needing to fork over excessive amounts of personal information.

Civic's identity verification solution uses distributed ledger technology to authorize identity usage in real time, and is used to sparingly share information with Civic partners after authorization by the user.

Unlike some other identity management services, Civic users store all their sensitive data on their mobile device. Users are able to authorize the sharing of specific personal data by providing a biometric signature through the Civic app.

The Civic ecosystem is enabled by a unique utility token known as the Civic token (CVC), which is used for the settlement of identity-related transactions between Civic participants — such as between a customer and service provider.

Users can earn CVC tokens for completing a variety of tasks, such as signing up for a service through the platform or introducing new users, while validators can earn CVCs for validating documents for service providers.

Civic was launched in 2018, following a sell-out initial coin offering (ICO) the year prior.

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.

NKN (NKN), or New Kind of Network, is a network that focuses on creating a decentralized and open-source network protocol for public blockchain-based peer-to-peer (P2P) networks to share network bandwidth and internet connectivity. Its main objective is to address the challenges faced by today's internet, such as centralization, scalability issues and security concerns.

Storj, pronounced as “storage,” is an open-source cloud storage platform. Basically, it uses a decentralized network of nodes to host user data. The platform also secures hosted data using advanced encryption.

In a white paper published in December,2014, Storj was first introduced to the world as a concept. It was to be a decentralized peer-to-peer encrypted cloud storage platform.

Two years later, an updated white paper was published. Here, a decentralized network  — connecting users who need cloud storage space with those who have hard drive space to sell — was described. The platform was launched in late 2018.

People with hard drive space and good internet connectivity can participate in the network. They become a unit in the network, called a node. Space providers are rewarded by Storj tokens.

Storj

Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that is able to take real-world data and supply it to on-chain applications, while also connecting APIs to smart-contracts to facilitate the exchange of information between on-chain and off-chain data sources.

By supplying reputable, verifiable real-world data to blockchains, Band Protocol unlocks a range of new use cases for developers to explore — since they can now use any type of real-world data as part of their decentralized application (DApp) logic, including sports, weather, random numbers, price feed data and more.

Band Protocol initially launched as an ERC-20 project on the Ethereum blockchain in September 2019, but transitioned to the Cosmos network in June 2020 with the release of Band Protocol 2.0. The new protocol is built on BandChain using the Cosmos SDK. Oracle nodes on BandChain not only relay data but are also involved in block production/validation, giving them a dual role.

BAND is the native token of the Band Protocol ecosystem and is used as collateral by validators involved in fulfilling data requests, as well as the main medium of exchange on BandChain — being used to paying for private data.

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.

Cartesi is an app-specific rollup protocol with a virtual machine that runs Linux distributions, creating a richer and broader design space for DApp developers.

Cartesi Rollups offer a modular scaling solution, deployable as L2, L3, or sovereign rollups, while maintaining strong base layer security guarantees.

Cartesi

UMA was founded in 2018 by Allison Lu and Hart Lambur, two ex Goldman Sachs traders, with the goal of making global markets universally fair, accessible, secure and decentralized.

The team drew inspiration from traditional finance derivatives to define an open-source protocol to allow anyone, anywhere, to design and build trustless financial contracts.

Balancer is an automated market maker (AMM) that was developed on the Ethereum blockchain and launched in March 2020. It was able to raise a $3M seed round by Placeholder and Accomplice. Balancer protocol functions as a self-balancing weighted portfolio, price sensor and liquidity provider. It allows users to earn profits through its recently introduced token ($BAL) by contributing to customizable liquidity pools.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Balancer(https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-balancer.

The protocol operates a few types of pools:

Private pools give the owner governance over the pool, and make the person the sole contributor of liquidity to the pool. Also, all the parameters are mutable by the owner.

Shared pools are for those who want to become liquidity providers (LPs). The LPs are rewarded with the Balancer Pool Tokens (BPTs).

Smart pools are similar to private pools but are controlled by a smart contract. They also reward using BPTs and allow anyone to contribute liquidity to the pool.

Balancer

StormX has successfully developed its product and has become an industry leader in the crypto cashback community. The company is also catching users’ attention by offering cashback of up to 87.5% for some purchases.

StormX

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

SKALE, described as a modular blockchain network, is designed to bring scalability to Ethereum. SKALE is the only blockchain network capable of running an unlimited number of fast, on-demand, pooled-security Blockchains with zero gas fees to end users. These individual chains are known as SKALE chains and can be dapp-specific or shared.

The project’s website says it wants to enable people to build and run DApps in a “decentralized modular cloud built for real-world needs and configured for your requirements.” This emphasis on decentralization isn’t at the expense of security.

According to SKALE, those who build on this platform can run Solidity smart contracts “thousands of times faster at a fraction of the mainnet cost” — with games and content streaming services among the projects that already take advantage of its infrastructure.

SKALE

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.

REQ is listed on Coinbase, Binance, crypto.com, KuCoin and many other exchanges.

The REQ token powers the Request Network open-source protocol via a few mechanisms: anti-spam; governance; staking; discounts; independency.

The Request (REQ) utility token, launched in 2017, ensures the performance and stability of the Request Network. The Request Network itself is an Ethereum-based decentralized payment system where anyone can request a payment and receive money through secure means. It removes the requirement for third parties in order to provide a cheaper, more secure payment solution that works with all global currencies.

The original whitepaper is available here.

When a user creates a request for payment, they define to which address the payment needs to be allocated and what the amount is. The user can also define the terms and conditions of the payment, upgrading a simple request into an invoice. Once this is completed, the user can share their request to be paid by their counterparty.

Every step is documented and stored on the Request Network, allowing everyone involved to easily keep track of all the invoices and payments for accounting purposes.

Request is also integrated with legislation across the world to remain compliant with the trade laws of each individual country.
