## Paxos معیار (PAX) کیا ہے؟

ستمبر سن 2018 میں قائم کیا جانے والا Paxos معیار ایک فیاٹ-سے-ضمانت یافتہ [اسٹیبل-کوائن](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-a-stablecoin) ہے۔ اسٹیبل-کوائنز ایسی کریپٹو کرنسیز ہوتی ہیں، جو کسی مخصوص مُستحکم اثاثے یا اثاثوں کی ٹوکری کی نسبت، اسٹیبل-کوائن کی اپنی قدر و قیمت میں ہونے والے نشیب و فراز کو کم سے کم سطح پر رکھنے کے لیے ڈیزائن کی گئی ہیں۔

اسٹیبل کوائن کو کریپٹو کرنسی یا فیاٹ پیسے کے ساتھ پِرویا جا سکتا ہے۔ کُچھ حالتوں میں مختلف اشیاء کے بدلے بھی اس کی تجارت کی جا سکتی ہے۔ Paxos معیار، قیمت کے معاملے میں کم سے کم خطرے میں رہ کر بلاک چین اثاثوں کے ساتھ لین-دین کرنے کا فائدہ پیش کرتا ہے۔ Paxos معیاری ٹوکنز (PAX) کا اجراء [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/ethereum/) بلاک چین پر بحیثیت [ERC-20 ٹوکنز](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/erc20/) کیا جاتا ہے، جو 1:1 کے تناسب سے، بذریعہ US ڈالرز ضمانت یافتہ ہوتے ہیں؛ وہ ڈالرز جنہیں Paxos کے اپنے امریکی بینک اکاؤنٹس میں رکھا جاتا ہے۔

### Paxos معیار کے بانی کون ہیں؟

Charles Cascarilla اور Rich Teo نے Paxos معیار کو تخلیق کیا۔

Charles Cascarilla Paxos کے شریک-بانی اور CEO ہیں۔ وہ Liberty City Ventures کے شراکت دار اور Association for Digital Asset Markets (ADAM) کے بانی-بورڈ-ممبر بھی ہیں۔

اُنہوں نے Cedar Hill Capital Partners کی بُنیاد رکھی، اور وہ اس کے شراکت دار بھی ہیں، نیز Claiborne Capital Management میں بحیثیت پورٹ فولیو مینجر، Goldman Sachs میں مالیاتی تجزیہ کار، اور Bank of America میں بھی بحیثیت تجزیہ کار فائز رہنا اُنکے گُذشتہ پیشہ ورانہ تجربے میں شامل ہے۔

Rich Teo Paxos کے دوسرے شریک بانی ہیں۔ اس سے پہلے، اُنہوں نے Cedar Hill Capital Partners میں پرنسپل/سینئر تجزیہ کار کی حیثیت سے خدمات سر انجام دیں۔ اُنہوں نے Citi میں مالیاتی تجزیہ کار کی حیثیت سے، اور سنگاپور کی مُسلح افواج میں جنگی سگنلر کے طور پر بھی کام کیا۔

### کیا چیز Paxos معیار کو منفرد بناتی ہے؟

Paxos معیار ایک اسٹیبل-کوائن ہے جو کسی بھی صارف کو Paxos معیاری ٹوکنز کا ڈالرز سے تبادلہ کرنے کی اجازت دیتا ہےْ اس کا اہم مقصد بلاک چین ٹیکنولوجی اور ڈالر کے ما بین استحکام قائم کرنا ہے۔

Paxos کمپنی New York State Department of Financial Services کی جانب سے دیے گئے ایک ایسے منشور کی حامل ہے، جو اِسے کریپٹو اثاثوں کی دُنیا میں مُنظم خدمات پیش کرنے کئ اجازت دیتا ہے۔ یہ ٹوکن اُن اکاؤنٹس میں جو کمپنی کے پاس امریکی ڈیپازٹری اداروں میں موجود ہیں، بذاتِ خود US ڈالر سے حمایت یافتہ ہے۔

Paxos معیار کو ایک بڑے مالیاتی ایکوسسٹم میں بہتری لانے کے لیے، ایک بلا رُکاوٹ عالمی نیٹ-ورک کی تخلیق کے ذریعے بنایا گیا۔ یہاں، سب ڈیجیٹل اثاثوں کو دسترس کی قابِلیتِ اور لچک کی بلند ترین سطح پر رہ کر تیز رفتاری سے مُتحرک کیا جا سکتا ہے۔ Paxos کی منزل مقصود ایک ایسے مُستقبل کی تخلیق ہے، جس میں دیجیٹل اثاثے، دیگر اشیاء اور سکیوتیٹیز کسی بھی وقت، کہیں بھی ٹرانسفر کی جا سکیں۔

### فی الوقت کُل کتنے Paxos معیاری کوائنز (PAX) گردش میں ہیں؟

Paxos معیار US ڈالر کے استحکام کو بلاک چین ٹیکنولوجی کی کارکردگی سے جوڑتا ہے۔ یہ ڈیجیٹل ڈالر ہے، اور دُوسرے کریپٹو اثاثوں کی طرح اسے بھی، دُنیا میں کسی بھی جگہ کسی بھی وقت روزانہ کی بُنیاد پر، فی الفور مُنتقل کیا جا سکتا ہے یہ مُستحکم ہے، نیز ڈالر کے مُقابلے میں 1:1 تناسب کا حمایت یافتہ ہے۔ اس کا اجراء بھی Paxos Trust Company ہی کرتی ہے۔ اس کے معنی یہ ہوئے کہ ان فنڈز کو تحفُّظ کی فراہمی، ان کا آڈٹ، اور ان کی تنظیم بڑی احتیاط سے کی جاتی ہے۔

### Paxos معیار نیٹ-ورک کو کیسے محفوظ بنایا جاتا ہے؟

Paxos معیار (PAX) کو [Ether](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/ether-1/) یا کسی اور [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/ur/currencies/erc20/) اثاثے کی طرح Ethereum بلاک چین پر منتقل کیا جا سکتا ہے۔ اگر کوئی صارف PAX کی حیثیت بحال کروانا یعنی اُنہیں چُھڑوانا چاہے، تو وہ Paxos کے کنٹرول کردہ کسی بھی ایسے ایڈریس پر ٹوکنز بھیج سکتا ہے، جو اُنہیں تباہ کر کے صارف کے بینک اکاؤنٹ میں فلیٹ کرنسی منتقل کر دے گا۔ عوامی بلاک چین پر اس وجود کے ذریعے، یہ تاجِروں اور تبادلہ کنندگان کو PAX کے استعمال کی اجازت دیتا ہے۔ PAX جو فلیٹ کرنسیوں کے ایک مُتبادل کی حیثیت کا حامل بھی ہے، تاجروں اور تبادلہ کنندگان کی بینکنگ ضروریات کو Paxos کے لیے آؤٹ سورس کرنے میں اُنکی مدد کر سکتا ہے۔ یہ Paxos کو Ethereum پر مبنی ایپلیکیشنز کے ساتھ آسانی سے مربوط ہونے کی اجازت دیتا ہے۔

سکیورٹی سے متعلق کسی خطرے کی صورت میں پیکسوس، PAX ٹوکن کی مُنتقلی اور منظوریوں کو روک سکتا ہے۔ روکے جانے کی یہ صلاحیت ایک اکیلے مالک کا کردار ادا کرنے سے کنٹرول ہوتی ہے، جیسے OpenZeppelin اون-ایبل۔ یہ ماڈل OpenZeppelin's Pausable کی پیروی کرتا ہے۔ اسمارٹ معاہدات کی آزمودہ لائیبریریوں کو Ethereum اور دیگر بلاک چینز کے لیے استعمال کر کے، OpenZeppelin کے معاہدات خطرے کو کم کرنے میں مدد گار ثابت ہوتے ہیں۔

اپنے مُنظّم اعتماد کی حامل حقیقت کی وجہ سے، Paxos قانونی طور پر اثاثے اور پیسے منُتقل کر سکتا ہے۔ اُس اجازت نامے کو بلاک چین ٹیکنولوجی کے ساتھ جوڑ کر، لین-دین بحِفاظت اور بِلا خوف و خطر، نہایت سُرعت کے ساتھ انجام دیا جا سکتا ہے۔

TUSD is the first digital asset with live on-chain attestations by independent third-party institutions and is backed 1:1 with the U.S. dollar (USD). So far, it has been listed on more than 100 trading platforms such as Binance and Huobi and is live on 12 mainstream public chains, including Ethereum, TRON, Avalanche, BSC, Fantom, and Polygon.

TrueUSD is attested to in real-time by an independent, industry-specialized accounting firm in the U.S., to ensure the 1:1 ratio of its USD reserve to the circulating token supply and the 100% collateral rate. With the integration of Chainlink PoR, TrueUSD becomes the first USD-Backed stablecoin to secure minting and further ensure transparency and reliability. Users can access the relevant data via the official website tusd.io at any time. TUSD is granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the Commonwealth of Dominica, a country in the Caribbean, effective on October 7th 2022.

The Gemini Trust Company (Gemini) is a digital currency exchange and custodian that allows you to buy, sell and store digital assets, founded in February of 2014. The GUSD is created by the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini.

The company received approval from the New York Department of Financial Services or NYDFS to launch the stablecoin in September of 2018. The Gemini Trust Company holds USD deposits that correspond to the number of tokens that are in circulation.

When it comes to the Gemini Dollar itself, it is an ERC-20 token that is built on the Ethereum network and has smart contracts that are audited by the security company Trail of Bits Inc.

This dollar is intended to bridge the divide between traditional finance and the crypto industry, due to the fact that this specific stablecoin is completely regulated by the NYDFS.

Gemini Dollar

USDD is a stablecoin issued by the TRON DAO Reserve. It’s pegged to the value of the US dollar and aims to provide a reliable, decentralized cryptocurrency for blockchain transactions. USDD can be used for payments, trading, staking and as a value store.

USDD is backed by a number of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and TRON. To ensure stability and security, the reserve is over-collateralized, meaning that it holds more assets than the amount of USDD currently in circulation.

USDD

The Neutrino index is a decentralized financial (DeFi) platform based on the Waves blockchain. The platform rebranded its index token from USDN to XTN. Neutrino has two native tokens, XTN and NSBT.

XTN is an algorithmic crypto-collateralized indexcoin backed by three Waves Ecosystem tokens: WAVES, WX and VIRES. XTN's main function is to encourage user participation in the Neutrino by rewarding those who provide liquidity to the system.

The platform’s other token, NSBT (Neutrino System Base Token), is used for governance purposes: it allows users to make decisions about the future development of the Neutrino protocol, and it ensures the stability of collateral reserves on Neutrino’s smart contract.

New NSBT tokens are issued whenever a user locks WAVES tokens on a contract, which serves as additional backing and insures the system against a deficit. Holders can stake to earn on WAVES to XTN swap fees.

Neutrino Index

DAI is an Ethereum-based stablecoin (stable-price cryptocurrency) whose issuance and development is managed by the Maker Protocol and the MakerDAO decentralized autonomous organization.

The price of DAI is soft-pegged to the U.S. dollar and is collateralized by a mix of other cryptocurrencies that are deposited into smart-contract vaults every time new DAI is minted.

It is important to differentiate between Multi-Collateral DAI and Single-Collateral DAI (SAI), an earlier version of the token that could only be collateralized by a single cryptocurrency; SAI also doesn’t support the DAI Savings Rate, which allows users to earn savings by holding DAI tokens.

Multi-Collateral DAI was launched in November 2019.

Pax Gold (PAXG) is a gold-backed cryptocurrency, launched by the creators of Paxos Standard (PAX) in September 2019. As an ERC-20 token operating on the Ethereum blockchain, Pax Gold is tradeable on a large variety of exchanges and has become an accessible way for traders to start investing in gold.

The main goal behind Pax Gold is to make gold more tradable, as the physical commodity is not easily divisible or flexible in terms of transport. This is why Paxos Standard decided to create a cryptocurrency entirely backed by gold. According to the official whitepaper, Pax Gold was created to allow investors to buy indefinitely small amounts of gold through the cryptocurrency, thus virtually eliminating minimum buy limits for the commodity.

Fei protocol is a DeFi native algorithmic stablecoin. The aim of Fei is to propose a technological solution in a sweet spot between rigid overcollateralized decentralized stablecoin and centralised custodial stablecoins.

Fei Protocol runs on two crypto assets: FEI stablecoin and TRIBE governance token.

FEI is aimed to be a more capital efficient and fully decentralized stablecoin. The protocol uses the value it controls to maintain liquid secondary markets and earn yield for the protocol.

The project was founded in December 2020 and immediately attracted significant interest in the crypto community. It resulted in $19 million VC investment in early March 2021. Among the names that have entered this project are Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Coinbase Ventures, Nascent and Framework Ventures.

There were some issues with the peg in the original mechanism, but through a series of governance upgrades the protocol recovered in the months following launch.

Fei v2 intends to be a major upgrade for the system and will launch in late 2021. It features 1:1 redeemability for FEI against protocol reserves, TRIBE buybacks and backstop, and algorithmic protocol controlled value management.

Fei USD

Binance USD (BUSD) is a 1:1 USD-backed stable coin issued by Binance (in partnership with Paxos), Approved and regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), The BUSD Monthly Audit Report can be viewed from the official website.

Bitcoin SV (BSV) emerged following a hard fork of the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blockchain in 2018, which had in turn forked from the BTC blockchain a year earlier following the blocksize wars.

BSV claims to fulfill the original vision of the Bitcoin protocol and design as described in Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper, early Bitcoin client software and known Satoshi writings. BSV aims to offer scalability and stability in line with the original description of Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, as well as deliver a distributed data network that can support enterprise-level advanced blockchain applications.

To this end, it has removed artificial block size limits and re-enabled Script commands and other technical capabilities which had been historically disabled or restricted by the protocol developers of the BTC blockchain. This purportedly allows the network to process tens of thousands of transactions per second while maintaining extremely low transaction fees for micropayments, in addition to offering advanced capabilities such as tokens, smart contracts, computation and other data use cases.

The BSV network claims to be unique in its capacity for unbounded on-chain scaling while also being more aligned with the original design of Bitcoin than any other blockchain.

Huobi Token (HT) is the native token of the cryptocurrency exchange Huobi Global. It is a decentralized digital asset based on the Ethereum blockchain and is ERC-20 compliant. HT’s value is in part reliant upon the reputation of the Huobi crypto exchange, yet other factors also have an impact.

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

Huobi Token is a relatively young project. It first launched in January 2018, hot on the heels of the release of a native token on rival crypto exchange Binance. Having its own token allows Huobi to build a flexible marketing strategy in order to attract new users and further grow its platform.

One key function of the token is to reduce commissions for trading operations on the exchange, which are usually paid from users' wallets. Yet the token has much more to offer. Using HT, users can purchase monthly VIP-status plans to receive discounts on transaction fees. Token holders have the right to vote on exchange decisions, can receive crypto rewards for seasonal buybacks, and also get early access to special events. HT holders can, at any point, trade the token for other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin Gold was founded in 2017 to become a user-friendly alternative to Bitcoin. The BTG network aims to combine the security and sturdiness of the Bitcoin blockchain and its characteristics with the opportunity for experimentation and development.

BTG enhances and extends the crypto space with a blockchain closely compatible with Bitcoin but without using resources like Bitcoin hash power or vying for the "real Bitcoin" title. The company aims to present a coin with the implementation capabilities of Bitcoin, however, expanding on the opportunities for DeFi and DApp developers to use the coin.

Bora is a decentralized ecosystem for games and entertainment. Bora aims to attract games and applications from the GameFi sector to its Bora Chain to avoid building on blockchains like Ethereum that have high gas fees. For that reason, Bora follows a two-tiered blockchain system: the BORA token is traded on the Klaytn blockchain, a public blockchain that is focused on metaverse and gaming use cases. The Bora chain is a modular blockchain that can be used as an execution layer by decentralized applications.

The Bora team provides development toolkits that support developers with creating decentralized applications for its ecosystem. It also utilizes Bora Points, a currency within the ecosystem as a resource for development and to incentivize contribution to Bora. Bora Points can subsequently be converted to the BORA token.

BORA

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

OKB is a cryptocurrency released by the OK Blockchain Foundation and Maltese crypto exchange, OKEx. The exchange is one of the largest in the world andcurrently ranks third in liquidity, fourth in trading volume, and provides a wide selection of trading pairs. OKEx is similar in many aspects to the cryptocurrency exchange giantBinance, but there are a few key differences. The OKEx platform has its owncloud mining service, and the company has a more focused reach in providing options trading for users. Meanwhile, Binance strives to offer a broad range of crypto services globally.

OKB is the OKEx utility token that enables users to access the crypto exchange's special features. The coin is used to calculate and pay trading fees, grant users access to voting and governance on the platform, and reward users for holding OKB.

OKEx has become a world-leading trading floor since its launch in 2017. The platform launched in the spring of 2017 and emerged as an offshoot from the original OKCoin platform (operating since 2013 in China). OKCoin now focuses on exchanging fiat for crypto, while OKEx focuses on crypto trading with a built-inAPI for algorithmic trading. The exchange also gives users access to a multi-currency wallet and functions formargin trading.

USDC is a stablecoin that is pegged to the U.S. dollar on a 1:1 basis. Every unit of this cryptocurrency in circulation is backed up by $1 that is held in reserve, in a mix of cash and short-term U.S. Treasury bonds. The Centre consortium, which is behind this asset, says USDC is issued by regulated financial institutions.

The stablecoin originally launched on a limited basis in September 2018. Put simply, USDC’s mantra is “digital money for the digital age” — and the stablecoin is designed for a world where cashless transactions are becoming more common.

Several use cases have been unveiled for the USDC. As well as providing a safe haven for crypto traders in times of volatility, those behind the stablecoin say it can also allow businesses to accept payments in digital assets, and shake up an array of sectors including decentralized finance and gaming.

Overall, the goal is to create an ecosystem where USDC is accepted by as many wallets, exchanges, service providers and dApps as possible.

USDC

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.
