Ubex

Many financial experts concur with the fact that Blockchain technology has the potential to solve many of the key issues that currently exist within the world of online advertising. From a more technical angle, we can see that in the year 2018, the digital advertising market raked in a total of $223.74 billion, with intermediaries taking away almost 75% of all investments. With such startling figures in front of us, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this revenue model is extremely skewed and needs to be replaced with one that is more fair and sustainable.

What Is Ubex?

UBEX is an advertising platform that aims to target users more effectively by using machine learning in order to optimize ad placement and ad content. Furthermore, the organization aims to leverage blockchain technology, more specifically smart contracts, in order to implement a payment mechanism more sophisticated than existing models such as the pay-per-click model, which is susceptible to fraudulent activity. User information will be purchased from publishers in order to train the neural network model. UBEX tokens are used as a means of exchange within the platform.


Some of the key aspects of Ubex include:

The Ubex Wallet

The UBEX Token will act as a payment unit on the Ubex platform. The need for an ICO Token is based on the need to credit funds from advertisers’ accounts for the displays of advertising materials that they have bought. Basic cryptocurrencies do not allow the crediting of funds from third party accounts even if one has permission from the third parties. The Token allows for setting quotas (allowances) to a specific address within which the owner of the address can use the funds available on the account. Crediting is possible only on condition that the account holder has established the size of the quota and only from the address to which the quota is issued, otherwise the funds cannot be credited.

Unique Platform

While “traditional fraud detection systems” are usually designed to look into certain aspects of data misappropriation, Ubex security protocol is designed to have full access to the entire blockchain. As a result of this, there is constant surveillance of data such as advertising databases, user logs, ad images, so as to help eliminate any issues of fraudulence.

Novelties

The platform has a neural network that evaluates the interest of users, calculates the likelihood of targeted actions for all advertiser offers, and chooses the most suitable advertisement, maximizing the targeting of advertising and the economic efficiency for advertisers
Procurement of advertising takes place in real time using programmatic technology on the basis of neural networks with the application of smart contracts.

 

What problems that UBEX aims to solve?

Ubex believes  advertisers,  publishers and  users,  the three participants in the global advertising ecosystem  are facing various problems with today’s advertising systems, including:

Advertisers

• Uncertainty of achieving results as advertisers are forced to pay for clicks and displayed ads without a guarantee of actual sales
• Difficulty in figuring out all available advertising channels, leading to higher overhead expenses and the need to hire additional staff
• Ineffectiveness in certain advertising channels, with the ineffectiveness only becoming apparent after the budget has been spent

Publishers

• Struggle to find advertisers to fill advertising slots
• Face low earnings and the inability to forecast future payments from advertisers
• Payment delays and non-payments from dishonest or low-quality advertisers

Users

• Irrelevant or annoying advertisements
• Overpayment for products and services due to multiple intermediaries and high commissions
• High risks due to the use of coercive advertising methods by scammers

TEAM

I could easily say that the UBEX team is equiped with experience and some of them are already in the crypto sphere for quite a while now and did successfully launched their own projects.

Liqnet

Trading is not an easy job. In the cryptosphere, trading is one of the most resourceful task. In order for you to succeed you must deal with many difficulties such as centralized exchanges (which is normal but not really pleasant for the blockchain), trading fees, gas fees, account limits, and etc. Crypto exchanges is a pot of gold where we would put our assets in order for us to trade (speaking about centralized exchange). For me, the most ideal exchange must be secured, high volume and low fees. Setting aside the security for it must be proven and new project cryptoexchanges cannot prove that yet but having the commitment to aquire higher volume on their exchange is a big deal.

Talking about Liqnet, 

LIQNET is a cryptocurrency exchange with a unique liquidity pooling technology. It is a crypto exchange that functions in scattering of users, their trading request, and orders. Thus, it helps to form a unified order to book along with better market depth and better prices for private persons to ensure the legal entities. It has a LEN tool which allows collecting and combining orders of clients and orders from third-party platforms into a single order package.
LIQNET is a secure cryptocurrency exchange. LEN is a mechanism through which an API allows to collect and combine data on requests.

Goals

• To connect an API of a platform to the automated trading system
• To sell or buy from many cryptocurrency exchanges located anywhere in the world and form a unified order book

About the project

The server side of LIQNET platform is on the private cloud. It is composed of physical servers in several locations and client terminals. The security of server side is thoroughly tested. LIQNET develops unique professional web trading terminal, especially for cryptocurrencies. The LIQNET technology has three services. They are the data collector, automated trading system and automated system for fund allocation and account. To connect a cryptocurrency exchange to LEN, the user should register an account, deposit money and implement a particular LEN module. In this database, all financial data is saved on several servers and replicated between locations.

Quadrant Protocol

 

Quadrant Protocol

Major tech companies have actively reoriented themselves around AI and machine learning: Google is now AI-first, Uber has ML running through its veins and internal AI research labs keep popping up.
They’re pouring resources and attention into convincing the world that the machine intelligence revolution is arriving now. They tout deep learning, in particular, as the breakthrough driving this transformation and powering new self-driving cars, virtual assistants and more.
But at which specific situation are we going to use ML or AI in or daily life, you may ask. But the real question is, which applications are you using in your daily life that contains Machine Learning or AI algorithm. Because ML and AI are in our daily life already. The only thing is they needed to be worked on more, to be able to be more useful.
Today, an AI and ML contained programs can

• Recognize objects in images
• Navigate a map of the London Underground
• Translate between languages
• Speak
• Recognise emotions in speech
• Drive
• Fly a Drone
• Discover new uses for existing drugs

Overview

Vast amounts of authentic data are needed to power today’s algorithms, however the current data economy is fraught with problems. There is an ever-widening gap between those with the resources to collect and store their own data and those that do not. The data these have-nots do have access to is often fragmented and of questionable authenticity—the kind of data that produces poor results when fed to algorithms. Part of the reason why the data lacks authenticity is because the suppliers of it are not properly incentivized. Fair revenue distribution does not exist for both data producers and vendors. Without a healthy and transparent data economy, the increasing demand for authentic data will not be met. Quadrant aims to solve these problems by providing a blueprint for mapping disparate data sources. It will support proof of data authenticity and provenance via data stamping, the creation of “Constellations” (data smart contracts) for disparate data sources, and fair remuneration and incentive sharing. Data Consumers can trust the authenticity of the data they purchase, “Nurseries” (Data Producers) are compensated fairly every time their data is used, and “Pioneers” (Data Vendors) have the incentive to create innovative Constellations. This new transparent ecosystem ensures that companies get the authentic data they need.
Quadrant is designed to work with both centralised and decentralised services. The architecture consists of the core Quadrant blockchain, clients (Data Producer, Data Consumer and Anchor), and Guardian Nodes. Quadrant will operate on a Proof of Authority consensus mechanism so that it can handle more transactions, operate at a lower gas price, achieve faster transactions, and restrict malicious nodes from entering data into the network. An external Proof of Work chain will be used as an anchor for security purposes. For the time being, the Ethereum blockchain will be used for anchoring but it can be replaced by any public chain in the future if needed.

Fair Revenue Distribution

Producers of the original data sources have it the worst with respect to revenue distribution. They need to be incentivised to continue producing data, yet more often than not they are paid just once for the data that they provide. It is the Data Vendors that have the ability to resell the same data again and again. There is no way for the producers to find out what happens to the data downstream, where it goes and for what purpose. What this does is cast an opaque layer over the data, so that the producers have no idea of how much money they are owed.

Atomic Data Producers (ADPs)

At this level of the data value chain, the biggest problem is that the ADPs are not paid their fair share of the revenue made by the data that they produce. Individual data has little value on its own. Its real value is derived when it is combined with other data sets. As a result, most data producers will sell their data up the value chain to aggregators and resellers who can sell interesting data sets alongside one another to multiply the impact of the insights. The problem for ADPs is that they receive payment only once, no matter how many times the data is resold via the resellers and aggregators. Each additional sale beyond the initial transaction (between the ADP and the reseller) does not translate into revenue for the ADP. That is not the only thing working against ADPs. With existing data transaction architectures, there are prohibitive costs incurred in compensating ADPs for the data that they provide. Take a CSV file that has thousands of medical prescriptions sourced from multiple ADPs as an example. Figuring out the exact percentage of revenue to share amongst the contributing ADPs is inherently cumbersome and expensive.

Use Case for Quadrant and Constellations

Let one consider a real example of a data value chain for Mobile Location Intelligence data: a government body is doing a project in which it wants to understand the most crowded roadways in the morning and understand where everyone comes from. To execute this study, the government will enlist a Mobile Location Intelligence company to do this work. This intelligence company will gather data from multiple Location Aggregators who source the data from the many SDK providers that produce this data. These SDK providers install their libraries in thousands of Apps from publishers who in turn have their Apps installed in millions of mobile devices. It is quite complex for such a simple use case. By making Constellations available on Quadrant, they can be aggregated to form new Constellations at each level along the data value chain. It will never be the case in which the top Data Consumer sources directly from the millions of devices. What the Quadrant protocol can enable is that when the top layer Constellation is purchased, then all the corresponding Constellations are also triggered, hence enabling the release and remuneration of each party from the Location Aggregators, to the SDKs and Publishers.

Widespread Token Distribution

New use cases are projected to emerge in which individual devices and sensors are remunerated for their data contributions. Applications that source from IoT or mobile devices require millions of individual endpoints to produce useful data products. Each of these endpoints will require remuneration in the form of micro-payments. These payments will be made using the QUAD ICO token of the Quadrant network.

Orvium

Overview

Orvium is an open source and decentralized platform to manage and feature peer-reviewed, scholarly publications. Orvium aims to eliminate several inefficiencies pertaining to the scientific publishing model and enhance the quality and effectiveness of scientific journals.
Amongst the rampant issues within the scientific publishing industry include:

• Misalignment of Interest: A serious issue in the scientific community is the publication model, where scientific authors are charged for publishing their academic journals instead of the traditional publishing model which pays content creators. This misalignment arises when the scientific community carries out peer review – a form of scientific validation required for scholarly publishing – for FREE, yet scientific publishers get paid billions annually.

• Excessive Fees: The high fees charged by scientific journal publishers has created a corporate-like structure which potentially compromises the quality of scientific research. Ultimately, the central component for a scientific journal to be published is the fees to be paid to publishers.

• Content Copyrights: The copyrights of the academic journals are held by the publishers, instead of scientific content creators. Future earnings resulting from re-publication into our mediums or selling the copyrights to the content is only due to the publishers, not the content creators.

 

Applications

Due to a misaligned model that potentially compromises the current scientific publication industry, there is a surge in the migration to open source initiatives (e.g.arXiv & PLOS ONE). Therefore, the evolution towards a blockchain-based solution is a natural progression that would positively disrupt the scientific community. The model will work as follows:

Orvium establishes a decentralized, immutable and independent process that enables time-stamped proof-of-existence (POE), authorship and ownership for scientific content. The blockchain enables Orvium to keep a public trace of all activities relating to a given content, including first submission, revisions, accepted and rejected peer reviews, copyright and user license changes, among other activities.
Orvium features a host of functionalities for stakeholders that include:

• Continuous, Transparent Peer Review: Pursuant to openness and public accountability required for a credible peer review process, Orvium offers that and much more, enabling reviewers to have a full life cycle traceability of the journal via the blockchain. Having access to all the information since the inception allows reviewers to determine the validity and soundness of the scientific work. Additionally, multi-author reviews can also be undertaken.
• Zero-Day Publication: All content – even in early draft status – are immediately available online once they’re transmitted into the Orvium platform.
• Manuscript Versioning: Scientific work can be created systematically on the platform, with multiple changes and versions being continually upgraded. This means authors can label their work as ‘Work-in-Progress’ and only they can see the modifications. These versioning capabilities enhance the content creation process, enabling Orvium’s solution to be the solution towards digitization as well.
• Custom Copyrights & User Licenses: Although Orvium fosters open access publications, there are options for authors or institutions to opt for licensing/subscription models since stakeholders can define user conditions (via Decentralised Autonomous Journals)
• Decentralized Journals: This is a unique value proposition of Orvium which will be discussed in the next few sections under ‘Unique Differentiator’
• Accommodation of Gray Literature: Traditional content or research that doesn’t pass the traditional peer review or screening process would be accommodated in the Orvium platform to allow for a more thorough peer review process and ensures that these potential nuggets of knowledge can be salvaged and saved.

Technology Breakdown

A more technical breakdown of Orvium’s platform architecture is as follows:

Orvium will be built on the Ethereum blockchain. The main programming language for the Orvium platform is JavaScript, with Solidity being used for the development of smart contracts. The definition of the architecture will be conceived using Hasicorp Configuration Language (HCL) while the frontend application will leverage on Angular and webpack.
In terms of storage solutions, data storage will be achieved using NoSQL & SQL databases for document and relational data while the binary storage will be achieved using different decentralized solutions that is currently being assessed, that include IPFS, Swarm, Sia and Storj.

Unique Differentiator

• Decentralized Autonomous Journals (DAJ): Similar to Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), Orvium allows anyone (individual authors, institutions or users) to create their own autonomous journals, where they can determine personalized governance rules, licensing/subscription models and contribution rights of participants.
• Integration of Social Dynamics: Orvium will also be a social platform that fosters participation among stakeholders and users through opening the definition of journals, the creation of challenges or rewards for reviews to increase scientific validation, the promotion of patronage campaigns and the funding of research lines to the general public. We opine that if done right, this could be ground-breaking as it allows for greater participation from the general public into the traditionally closed (and some would argue exclusive) scientific circles. Greater mass participation would undeniably enhance the advancement of scientific solutions that could be pressing towards the real needs of society. Just imagine cancer research funded by the masses instead of authors depending on research grants that are dependent on many inefficient variables.

Orvium team looks to be impressively capable. There’s a rich line of engineers, developers and technical architects guided by an impressive list of scientific and business-oriented advisors. A majority of their team member is affiliated with CERN, which is one of the world’s largest and most respected institutions for ground-breaking scientific research.
Founding Team

The founding team consists of well-established individuals in the scientific circle. Manuel Martin – Orvium’s lead and blockchain expert –  has worked in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is the world’s largest and most powerful particle collider or the most complex experimental facility ever built. He has also has collaborated with NASA, GSI and the US Department of Energy. His career was focused on supporting large-scale collaborative practices for technological innovations. Antonio Romero is the technology architect of Orvium and has led several big-data and machine-learning collaborations between CERN and ICT market leaders. He has accelerated cutting-edge predictive-maintenance and machine-learning solutions for CERN accelerator. Lastly, Roberto Rabasco is Orvium’s application & cloud technology expert with a decade of experience in developing software solutions for  international companies such as Deutsche Telekom, Just Eat and Asos Ltd
Tech Team

At the engineering and development front, Orvium features a strong tech team with individuals and experts from CERN and Volkswagen data labs. Covering a range of expertise in software and computing engineering, economics and security, it seems that Orvium is well-equipped to advance their vision.

The first version of Orvium’s public release is scheduled for the last quarter of 2019, which is a long wait. However, their minimum viable product (MVP) will be released at the 2nd/3rd quarter of 2018, which means users can utilize their beta platform thereafter.

Token Economics & Utility

Here is the breakdown of Orvium’s token supply:

Token Utility
Orvium is a utility token built on the Ethereum blockchain, functioning as the main currency for the following use cases:

• Peer Review Reward: Researchers that engage in the process of peer-reviewing scientific journals would be rewarded with ORV tokens
• Payment for Content Usage: If a paid licensing model is utilized, users will have to pay for accessing, downloading and reproducing the content using ORV tokens. Orvium will take a small transaction fee which is unspecified at the moment
• Creation & Management of DAJs: Orvium holders can contribute to the creation and operation of DAJs by staking ORV tokens into DAJs smart contracts
• Scientific Patronage: Orvium allows the public to challenge the scientific community to solve specific, pressing need in society. Anyone can create this ‘challenge’ by staking ORV into smart contracts and will be disbursed to the author of the published solution

We opine that there are strong use-cases for ORV on the Orvium platform, given the nature of inclusivity that the project offers. It can easily be envisioned that the public would be interested to engage in efforts to advance scientific discoveries and progress (especially on pressing humanitarian issues), and through the platform of scientific patronage and the creation of DAJs that targets the general public, there’ll potentially be huge traction. Greater public participation will result in greater demand for ORV tokens for the staking process, which will, in turn, drive up prices for ORV tokens since the supply is fixed.
Here are the token details for Orvium:

Strengths

• Extensive Documentation: Orvium features an extensive white paper. There’s also a technical document that details the platform architecture of Orvium, as well as a light paper which summarizes the detailed white paper.
• Solid Team & Advisors: Orvium is backed by a strong technical team of experts and technical individuals that possess the capacity to make the project a success. With distinguished advisors that include individuals from NASA, CERN, and Apache foundation, it seems that Orvium has gained considerable credibility.
• Strong Unique Value Proposition: The introduction of Decentralised Autonomous Journals looks to be an interesting innovation that combines the advancement of blockchain technology and the scientific publishing industry that badly requires a systemic overhaul. Equally important is their social platform mechanism that would foster great participation from the general public; this would advance scientific work in a variety of pressing issues surrounding humanity.
• Interest Alignment of Stakeholders: Orvium reinvents the scientific publishing model by rewarding researchers who engage in the peer review process, which is the core process of validating scientific findings. This is a disruptive model that a blockchain-based solution offers; tokenization of rewards. This would enable the enhancement of a more robust publishing framework.
• Strong Token Utility: Orvium’s platform and functionalities allow for the inclusive participation of the general population in advancing scientific solutions, which would, in turn, enhance the token utility within its platform. Given a variety of use-cases, ORV tokens look to be a token that will achieve high velocity in the near future.

Weaknesses

• Long Release Date: Orvium’s fully functional release is scheduled for the last quarter of 2019, which is a long wait relative to the ICO project landscape.
• Potentially Slow Implementation: It can take a long time before Orvium gains traction due to the sluggish nature of the scientific, academic community. Disrupting this industry would require a strong number of partnerships and collaborations at the grassroots level, which isn’t obvious at the moment.

Summary

Given the inefficiencies of the scientific publishing industry, Orvium’s solution is an innovative approach to disrupting not only the industry but effecting change towards the advancement of science through its inclusive nature. However, the tectonic challenges facing the industry coupled with its long-release date could be a source of concern for the short-term market. With a highly competent team and a distinguished line of advisors, Orvium looks to be a blockchain-based solution that has a good chance of carving a sizeable lead in this niche.

Verdict: Good Long-Term Hold

Liqnet - United Exchange

Trading is not easy especially when you are in the early stages of crypto. Dealing with registrations, personal security protocols that needed to be done, trading fees, transaction fees and timestamps. Those are the things that you need to look forward when you want to trade your currency in an exchange and wanting to trade other currency in the other. Liqnet has a solution for that.

 So what is Liqnet?

 LIQNET is a cryptoexchange that aggregates liquidity from various platforms thus solving the problem of the splitting of users and their trading orders by forming a unified order book with the best market depth and prices. In simple words: LIQNET is a cryptocurrency exchange that aggregates liquidity from different exchanges across the internet. For example a sell order for a certain cryptocurrency may be placed on one exchange and a buy order may be placed on another exchange.Its main goal is to reduce the bid/ask spread, while provide the highest liquidity across multiple order types and markets.ICO information:
Token symbol:LENStandard:ERC20 Maximum number of tokens:63 746 032
Current stage: Pre-sale
Pre-sale bonus: 100%
Price of one LEN token:$1 (100% BONUS)Soft cap: 20 000 000 USDHard cap: 50 000 000 USDPayment methods:ETH, BTC, BCH, ZEC, LTC, XRP, Waves, USDTime frame: Pre-sale ends in 3 days! 

Strong sides

• Working product: https://liqnet.com/ is publicly available web terminal 
• Platform allows to set TAKE PROFIT and STOP LOSS orders
• Fully functional iOS and Android trading apps are planning for 2018 
• Limited token supply: 63 746 032 LEN
• Pre-ICO bonus is still available (100% BONUS!)
• Minimized spreads,
• Token holders have some advantages on exchange: they can purchase a discount on fees: one token gives a 0,5% discount on the sum of fees for one day.
• Solid business model: The projected daily trading volume of the LIQNET platform is $200 million, then with an average commission of 0.15% (taker = 0.1%, maker 0.2%), the planned net profit is of $0.4 million a day.
• Physical hardware is located in two different datacenters :France and Canada
• The company is registered in Singapore
• LIQNET has a suite of analysis tools for traders.
• High liquidity allows users to reduce or fully eliminate the costs of slippage.
• 93% of tokens are for sale during ICO period

Weak sides:

• Exchanges face various legal barriers in many countries
• Takes long time for exchange to earn reputation and form loyal customer community
• 100% bonus for pre-ICO participants might scare away potential buyers during main sale
• Little information about the team
• Absence of significant partners in blockchain market
• Small advisory board
• Project is not hyped at all, community is not formed yet
• Token has additional risks associated with Ethereum platform as it uses ERC-20 token

Conclusion: 

This project has good potential if you participate in pre-ICO, since 100% bonus will give you significant advantage over those who will buy token during main sale period. I like that product is already available for public and can be used. There are several risk factors that you have to consider: all exchanges are subject of regulations and sometimes they face serious legal barriers. This project doesn’t have any hype and support from another large projects yet. Liqnet takes specific niche as it solves specific trading problem. LIQNET is capable of aggregating liquidity from different exchanges across the internet, therefore it can reduce the bid/ask spread and fees/costs. While the project has numerous advantages, it might take a time before Liqnet exchange will get significant customer base. I like appreciation token model as it might attract long and short-term investors.

XTRD - Wall Street Style

XTRD - Wall Street Style

 XTRD wants to bring a new level of technological sophistication to the world of cryptocurrency trading, providing its customers with enormous advantages in the process.

Much has been made of the built-in advantages professional traders enjoy on Wall Street. There has been a lot of ink spilled about the lengths to which brokerage firms will go to get their trades in a millisecond sooner, from relocating their trading floors closer to the heart of the action to investing heavily in technology that speeds transactions.

The same dilemmas have plagued the cryptocurrency market since its infancy, but now that cryptocurrency is suddenly popular, the built-in bottlenecks are becoming all too apparent. Many cryptocurrency traders found out just how hard buying and selling could be during periods of peak trading, with many finding themselves locked out of their accounts for long periods of time. 

Now a new company aims to remove many of those bottlenecks and make the trading of cryptocurrencies easier and more intuitive. XTRD wants to bring a new level of technological sophistication to the world of cryptocurrency trading, providing its customers with enormous advantages in the process.

As the cryptocurrency market has grown up, more and more people have come to see Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins as valid investments, not just currencies used to buy goods online. As the move from payment system to investment has evolved, so has the advice financial advisors have given their clients.

While many financial advisors are still wary of cryptocurrencies, others are taking a more nuanced approach. Instead of advising their clients to avoid the asset class entirely, they are encouraging buyers to spread the risk around by creating a basket of cryptocurrencies – a sort of crypto mutual fund. 

Until now, creating that basket and tracking the performance of so many cryptocurrencies could be a real nightmare, but the executive team at XTRD hopes to change all that.

The concept behind XTRD is still relatively new, but the company has already achieved some impressive partnerships. The team has been working on the XTRD model since July of 2017, and they are working closely with the CME group to disseminate market data.

The team at XTRD is also considering a strategic partnership with Oracle, one that would allow the company to participate in the popular fintech niche. Fintech is bigger than ever before, with many brokerage firms and financial planning agencies incorporating technology into their operations.

The emergence of so-called robo-advisors has spurred the adoption of fintech by brokerage firms and financial planning firms, so a strategic partnership with a market leader like Oracle makes perfect sense. This kind of partnership should allow the company to take advantage of a growing marketplace and position the firm for future growth.

In addition to those partnerships, XTRD has also teamed up with CEX.IO in an attempt to custody clients for SPA. The firm has also developed relationships with major banks to facilitate crypto to fiat dark pool transactions, something that will be very important going forward. 

The world of cryptocurrency is changing, and so is the way people and companies do business. By bringing the power of Wall Street technology to real-life traders, XTRD hopes to facilitate transactions, remove bottlenecks and make trader’s lives easier.

XTRD - United Exchange

TRADE will be launching a new cryptocurrency trading platform in early 2018 to solve the painful problems currently faced by the worldwide crypto trading community. Currently, crypto trading exists over 60 fractured and decentralized liquidity pools.

Those pools require users open multiple exchange accounts to get best prices, code to varying and undocumented API’s to access exchanges, and lack professional order entry systems. The experience is decades behind the standard of the internet and finance and is defined by slow execution speed and antiquated, unsecure web based trading.

XTRADE promises to change all that. It will simplify access to crypto, increase liquidity, and provide a secure, modern trading platform to crypto markets participants across the world.

The team behind XTRADE has over 30 years of extensive real-world experience building robust, battle tested trading systems in FX, Equities, Derivatives, and other instruments. They have specialist knowledge in all facets of brokerage services, execution, market data, trading platforms, clearing, settlement, algorithmic trading, and automated trading systems. XTRADE principals and advisors own crypto exchanges — and have worked in active trading firms all over the world as well as large financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Lehman, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan in technology, operational, and sales roles.

XTRADE will release a unified, familiar FIX API to allow institutions easy access to all exchanges with one simple interface at latency 100x lower than current crypto trading standards.

XTRADE Pro, a secure downloadable trading platform will be released following the launch of the FIX API. Pro will feature consolidated order books that will display prices across all exchanges in real time, hotkey order entry, and custom order types. Later in 2018, XTRADE will set up liquidity pools at all major exchanges and allow clients to trade across numerous exchanges with just ONE account at a partner exchange, while assuming all counterparty risk.

The FIX API has been completed and is already in production. XTRADE is setting up co-locations at major data centers all over the world and already connecting to multiple exchanges in 2017.

XTRADE brings real world, patent pending technology and industry tested revenue models to the still young crypto space. The XTRADE experience will be defined by what traders and technologists expect: high frequency execution, normalized market data, VPS services, order management systems, software licensing, and white labeling, among others.

As the crypto markets grow from $200 Billion to $2 Trillion and beyond, XTRADE will be the de-facto “plumbing” connecting decentralized exchanges and enabling arbitrage with token swaps across the ecosystem with one account, while reducing execution slippage, lowering costs, and enabling cross-exchange trading via secure, end to end encrypted connections.

XTRADE is entering multiple partnerships (to be announced soon) and facilitating the “bridge” for the financial industry to enter the blockchain and crypto trading space.
#XTRD #cryptocurrency #cryptotrading


The XTRD utility token, fully ERC20 compliant, will be utilized on the XTRADE network by market participants to pay for execution, VPS, market data, software licensing, credit interest spreads, and other fees. Market participants will be able to purchase XTRD tokens directly from XTRADE’s internal liquidity pool and secondary liquidity sources.

The official date for the presale and token generation event will be announced in the near future.

XYO Network - Blockchain Tracking Device

GPS is a great technology that we all are enjoying now. Thus, we all rely on GPS and we are aware it is accurate, but what if the signal would jam, experience cyber attacks and other forms of interference appear to be growing in frequency and severity. GPS is exceptionally accurate but it's flaws are undeniable, now here comes XYO Network.


Let me introduce to you the XYO Network (The very first dApp for real world uses and application), on how the project would disrupt the market.


XYO Network

is the blockchain’s first decentralized, trustless and secure Proof of Location organize. Because of its two one of a kind center ideas, Proof of Origin and Bound Witnesses, the XYO Network allows developers and smart contract creators to interact with the real world as if through an API.

On the easiest way possible, this is how XYO Network would work out
I will start with bitcoin's transaction as an example.
To successfully transfer a bitcoin from the sender, there would be an algorithm that needs to be solved before the bitcoin would be received by the recipient .
Same with XYO Network, there would be a problem that would be passed from the Sentinel (the sender) to the Bridge (the miner) to Archivist (blockchain ledger) to Diviner (recipient). Hope you get that right. Now I would further explain how the Sentinel,Bridge, Archivist, and the Diviner do their respective jobs to accurately locate things on the real world.

Sentinel
- The source of locations, where all the data comes from and store it on a public ledger.
- Incentiviced by XYO Tokens for every correct location it could give.
- Analyzes each location by "Proof of origin" and scored by "Origin Chain Score"

Bridge
- Transcriber
- Incentiviced by XYO Tokens for every correct location it could transfer from Sentinel to the Archivist.
- Relayer of heuristics

Archivist
- Ledger that stores all the data on decentralized ledger
- All proofs are stored
- Incentiviced by XYO Tokens for storing data

Diviner
- Accurate data analyzer
- Analyzes the best score from the Archivist
- Most complex part of XYO Network
- Securing all data free from attacks and tampering
- Gives the answer to the Query Initiator

So this would go like
Sentinels Gather Data, . Bridges Gather Data From Sentinels, Archivists Index/Assemble Data from Bridges, . Diviner Fetches a User’s Query, Diviner Collects Data From Archivists, Diviner Formulates Answer, Diviner Proposes Block, Diviner Returns Result to Query Initiator, XYO Network Components Get Rewarded for Their Work.

The best word to describe XYO Network is a decentralized tracking device.
Isn't it amazing? A tracking device using the blockchain security, smart contracts and decentralized ledgers.
All the calculations for the Origin Chain Score, the Proof of origin and on how sentinels generate locations and how diviners gives the exact location can be found on the Glossary of their Whitepaper.

DataBroker DAO - Not Sensored Data

DataBroker DAO - Not Sensored Data

Here I will tell you a brief summary about DataBroker DAO.
On how you could understand the project and helps you decide whether if this is a good investment or not.
So, here's the breakdown.

Databroker DAO - A Decentralized Sensor Data Marketplace
a peer to peer marketplace created to provide IoT sensor owners with a clear path to data monetization and data consumers with a decentralized market to buy IoT sensor data.

Data from the Internet of Things

- Consumers, researchers, companies are all buying increasingly more IoT sensors to capture data
    - Can be used to improve processes or provide more services
    - Global IoT market over $600B per year (Verizon)

- Most of the time, data is used by sensor owner or re-sold
    - Either way, it remains very siloed
    - More value can be extracted from the date for sure
- Hard Problem : How to fee that data from it's silos?


Databroker DAO solution

- Create a secondary market for sensor data
   - "eBay or Amazon for IoT sensor data"
   - Powered by Ethereum Smart Contracts
- Gateway operators set up to accept sensor data and route it to buyers
   - Run Ethereum node + Databroker DAO distributed API
   - Will be set up around the world - global marketplace
- Use DTX toke (ERC20) for access, incventives, purchases, and platform fees
- Why Blockchain?
   - Micropayments for large, global, trustless ecosystem


Platform core Components

- Registry of sensors and date streams
   - Sellers "stake" tokens to list on reistry
   - If bad data, they can be "challenged" by buyers and lose their stakes
- Identity management via smart contracts
    - Sellers own their data while operators or large scale buyers while end-user existing interfaces
- Data distribution/Storage
   - dAPI connected to leading IoT/Big Data storage vendors, also anchor batches of data on blockchain


Beta Platform
They also have their Beta Platform
Here's the link : https://beta.databrokerdao.com/account

Major Participants

- Sensor owners
   - Bought IoT sensors and have a lot of data to potentially sell
- Data Buyers
   - Purchase the data to use it (e.g. Improve their machine learning models)
- Data processors
   - Buy the data to enchance and re-sell it or handle it for their clients
   - Use this additional data to aument data from other sources
   - Can offer improved services to their clients
- Gateway Operators
   -Open up their network for data to be sold on platform


Value proposition & incentives

- Sensor owners
   - Menetize their investments (pays for itself)
   - Gets 80% of amount of each sale
- Data Buyers
   - Access to date previously unavailable to them
   - Don't have to spend money buying their own sensors
- Gateway Operators
   - Instant more adoption and usage of their Networks/Devices
   - Also gets 10% of each sale
- The platform ( DAO )
   - Gets 10% of each sale to cover operating costs

Who will have the data to sell?

Who will buy the data?

- Academic Researchers
   - Research projects need a lot of data to build models or draw conclusions
- Government Agencies
   - Glean insights from data for potential policy initiatives
- Energy Corporations
   - Inform business decisions like where to start solar farm
- Entrepreneurs
   - Build apps on top of data
- And more!

TrueGame - Blockchain Casino

TrueGame - Blockchain Casino

Online Casino’s are getting popular and the demand for this kind of platform is undeniably increasing and the money getting involved is up to 40Billion USD.

Playing in these platforms always put an impression on my mind that I would lose, the bias system is too obvious that only big guns could win games but the thing is we can’t be sure about that because the developers is too secretive, they even didn’t introduce themselves on public. Then Blockchain came along and I think this innovation is the real fit for Blockchain technology to be applied.

Inroducing Truegame, a Blockchain based online game room for Lotteries and iGaming.

In this article I would tell you the key points of TrueGame, that would prove that this might be a good project to invest on.

(Disclaimer : This is not an investment advice, the opinion was solely the perception of the author)

So What is TrueGame?

Basically, it’s an Online Gambling platform that would use blockchain to apply transparency, faster and immutable transactions and security. New and the best way on how Online Gambling/Gaming should be vs. old, sloppy, unfair Gambling platforms.

There are current problems that Online Gambling/Gaming industry is facing and Truegame has the solution.

Problem: The Transparency

Lotteries as an example, aren’t transparent as it could be. I mean, the developers didn’t show the players on how a draw is being done and you’d be surprised if somebody would win about 1Million USD just like that. (You don’t screw me)

Solution: The Blockchain and Smart Contract

Using the Blockchain along with ethereum smart contract, it is immutable to change the generation of random number (Smart Contract – Like contracts but written on the Blockchain and is transparent to everybody. Some contracts are published on GitHub including TrueGame’s smart contract). Everybody could check what is happening and nobody could intervene in this process.

Problem: Rewards

Lotteries as an example, if you win a certain draw on the lottery, when would I get the reward? How much fees do I need to pay? How much could I approximately get as a reward?

(Too many questions that you wish you didnt win because winning in normal gaming platform is a headache)

Solution: The Blockchain and Smart Contract

Before every draw, Blockchain would act as an escrow for the rewards. After every draw, the rewards would be automatically sent to the winner, might be deducted for the fee but that would be disclosed on the smart contract so the player could expect a fixed amount of winnings.

Problem: Security

On old Gambling Platforms, every security breach on the side of the developers could result in a massive manipulation for the future draw and reward system (Jackpot)

Solution: Truegame is a (DAPP) Decentralized Application

If the website is compromised, the hacker will not be able to influence the process of the draws or gain access to the Jackpot. The site is only an interface of the infrastructure that TrueGame created in the environment of Blockchain. Drawings, distribution and storage of the Jackpot are managed by a smart contract that is executed in a decentralized environment.

TrueGame is already an up and running platform and is successful.

Games that are running in the TrueGame Platform are

SCRATCHCARDS

It’s like scratching the card and finding a tic-tac-toe arrangement of the reward.

1st Crypto Scratch-off, Crypto Space Battle, Good Luck Meme, Old School Scratch-off, Code me Scratch-off, Crypto Legends

LOTTERIES

The crowd favorite, Lottery.

Who is not familiar with Lotto?

It’s a random withdraw of draw balls that if your Numbers (the one you bet) are exactly the numbers withdrawn, you’ll win. I don’t know if it needs to be exact on arrangement (would vary on the TrueGame Platform)

Though TrueGame is an undeniably great platform, what benefit it possess to attract investors?

EDGE

• -         TrueGame is the one and only Online Gaming Platform to develop and apply a working product (the games)and  took care of gambling license, and prepared a marketing strategy to attract future and current players.
• -             Sealed the private sale hardcap on the first day.
• -          Completely ready team and well planned roadmap
• -          Maximize the use of smart contract that it has a team focused on doing so
• -          Also planning and prepared for the migration for it’s own blockchain system to ensure the fast transactions
• -          First project to accept fiat
• -          Equal chances for each players
