Tokes Platform Whitepaper Version 3.1
The Tokes Platform is a blockchain focused company building software solutions for merchant adoption of cryptocurrency and data provenance of supply chains. This includes, but is not limited to, point of sale processing software, ecommerce storefronts, mobile applications, Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Blockchain as a Service (BaaS). Initially, the platform was developed for the legal cannabis industry as a solution to the cash-only problem caused by federal prohibition resulting in banking restrictions.
TATAU: A Blockchain-Based, Enterprise-Focused, Distributed Supercomputing Platform
Tatau.io is an enterprise-focused, blockchain-based distributed computing platform established to meet the growing demand for computational power required for complex computations. Our initial focus will be in verticals such as AI and deep learning, but will ultimately include areas such as video rendering and predictive analytics. Tatau’s computational supply harnesses existing distributed GPU-based computing resources owned by crypto-mining and gaming companies. Tatau is able to pay these companies more for their compute power than they can earn mining or providing computing power for gaming, while at the same time provide the computing resource to AI companies for less than they pay to traditional compute suppliers.

Sendy is a fundamental transformation of email marketing through decentralisation and incentive alignment. Our core mission is to give users ownership over their own emails and redistribute email marketing value by placing an ascribed worth on subscribers’ attention.
Ravencoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic System for the Creation and Transfer of Assets
Ravencoin is a blockchain and platform optimized for transferring assets, such as tokens, from one holder to another. Based on the extensive development and testing of the UTXO model of the Bitcoin protocol, Ravencoin is built on a fork of the Bitcoin code. Key changes include a block reward time of one minute, a change in the number of coins issued, but not the weighted distribution schedule and the addition of asset creation and messaging capabilities. Ravencoin is free and open source. All Ravencoin (RVN) are fairly issued and mined publicly and transparently using Proof of Work (POW) using the x16r algorithm which was created for Ravencoin. There is no private, public, founder, or developer allocation set aside. Ravencoin is intended to prioritize security, user control, privacy, and censorship resistance. It is open to use and development in any jurisdiction, while allowing simple additional features for users based on need.
Basic Attention Token (BAT): Blockchain Based Digital Advertising
We propose the BAT as a token of exchange in a secure, anonymous, opt-in advertising system based in the browser and the mobile app webview. The BAT system provides: • Users: strong privacy and security when viewing advertisements, improved relevance and performance, and a share of tokens. • Publishers: improved revenue, better reporting, and less fraud. • Advertisers: less expensive customer attention, less fraud, and better attribution.
0x: An open protocol for decentralized exchange on the Ethereum blockchain
We describe a protocol that facilitates low friction peer-to-peer exchange of ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is intended to serve as an open standard and common building block, driving interoperability among decentralized applications (dApps) that incorporate exchange functionality. Trades are executed by a system of Ethereum smart contracts that are publicly accessible, free to use and that any dApp can hook into. DApps built on top of the protocol can access public liquidity pools or create their own liquidity pool and charge transaction fees on the resulting volume. The protocol is unopinionated: it does not impose costs on its users or arbitrarily extract value from one group of users to benefit another. Decentralized governance is used to continuously and securely integrate updates into the base protocol without disrupting dApps or end users.
Tron Whitepaper
Through the use of many existing mature technologies, wave field (TRON), as a new content platform, provides security, scalability, and privacy, and simultaneously allows the participants to actively contribute to the processing capacity of their machine to build a user registration network. It also gives positive contributors the privilege to send advertisements to the whole network to incentivize (of course this group text messaging will be limited in number).
Holochain: Scalable Agent-Centric Distributed Computing
We present a scalable, agent-centric distributed computing platform. We use a formalism to characterize distributed systems, show how it applies to some existing distributed systems, and demonstrate the benefits of shifting from a data-centric to an agent-centric model. We present a detailed formal specification of the Holochain system, along with an analysis of its systemic integrity, capacity for evolution, total system computational complexity, implications for use-cases, and current implementation status.
Nano: A Feeless Distributed Cryptocurrency Network
—Recently, high demand and limited scalability have increased the average transaction times and fees in popular cryptocurrencies, yielding an unsatisfactory experience. Here we introduce Nano, a cryptocurrency with a novel block-lattice architecture where each account has its own blockchain, delivering near instantaneous transaction speed and unlimited scalability. Each user has their own blockchain, allowing them to update it asynchronously to the rest of the network, resulting in fast transactions with minimal overhead. Transactions keep track of account balances rather than transaction amounts, allowing aggressive database pruning without compromising security. To date, the Nano network has processed 4.2 million transactions with an unpruned ledger size of only 1.7GB. Nano’s feeless, split-second transactions make it the premier cryptocurrency for consumer transactions.
ChainLink: A Decentralized Oracle Network
Smart Contracts provide the ability to execute tamper-proof digital agreements, which are considered highly secure and highly reliable. In order to maintain a contracts overall reliability, the inputs and outputs which the contract relies on also need to be secure. Chainlinks provide a reliable connection to external data, that is provably secure end-to-end.
Ouroboros: A Provably Secure Proof-of-Stake Blockchain Protocol
We present “Ouroboros”, the first blockchain protocol based on proof of stake with rigorous security guarantees. We establish security properties for the protocol comparable to those achieved by the bitcoin blockchain protocol. As the protocol provides a “proof of stake” blockchain discipline, it offers qualitative efficiency advantages over blockchains based on proof of physical resources (e.g., proof of work). We also present a novel reward mechanism for incentivizing Proof of Stake protocols and we prove that, given this mechanism, honest behavior is an approximate Nash equilibrium, thus neutralizing attacks such as selfish mining. We also present initial evidence of the practicality of our protocol in real world settings by providing experimental results on transaction confirmation and processing.
SALT: Blockchain-Backed Loans
SALT is a membership based lending and borrowing network that allows users to leverage their blockchain assets to secure cash loans. Our Secured Automated Lending Technology is a protocol and asset agnostic architecture designed to adapt to the constantly growing class of blockchain assets. The system is designed such that, if you have an asset you want to hold on to, you can borrow the asset you want to spend, regardless of credit history or geographic constraints.
EOS – An Introduction
Current technologies for blockchain fall short of providing what developers and end-users need in order to contract together and to build large scale businesses. We propose EOS, a performance-based and self-governing blockchain that provides an operating system for building large-scale consumerfacing distributed applications. This paper outlines the context, vision and software architecture underlying EOS, which we are building to serve a broad and diverse group of users with smart business.
NEO White Paper: A Distributed Network for the Smart Economy
NEO is the use of blockchain technology and digital identity to digitize assets, the use of smart contracts for digital assets to be self-managed, to achieve "smart economy" with a distributed network.
Binance Exchange Whitepaper v1.1
In our view, there are fundamentally two different types of exchanges: the ones that deal with fiat currency; and the ones that deal purely in crypto. It is the latter one that we will focus on. Even though they are small now, we strongly believe that pure crypto exchanges will be bigger, many times bigger, than fiat based exchanges in the near future. They will play an ever more important role in world finance and we call this new paradigm Binance; Binary Finance.
