The first transaction ever to an Electronic Passport is a symbolic donation of 777 coins to Pope Francis: Unlike all other public blockchains, ours already contains billions of users: 3.5 Billions with Digital National Identity Cards and 1 Billion with…
Today, we are launching our TESTNET and getting closer to launching the MAINNET network. Our current TESTNET features the following novel technologies: Highly scalable blockchain Private and Verifiable Smart Contracts: secure smart contracts on which you can develop Cryptographically Secure…
The high volatility of cryptocurrencies precludes their use as a medium of exchange or unit of account: The root cause of this volatility is their lack of monetary policy for price stabilisation. Although some cryptocurrencies seek price stability (i.e., stablecoins),…
We are happy to announce that the United States Patent and Trademark Office will issue the Patent No. 10423806 to “Secure Computation on Spreadsheets”. The history of this patent goes back very far: One of the first software patents was…
In practice, using cryptocurrencies without identity means that the costs of identification are externalized to third-parties and, worse yet, repeated and incurred multiple times: KYC/AML to access online exchanges and/or for ICO participation (the cost of a check ranges from…
Most announces of previous blockchains can be classified in the following groups: better hash algorithm (e.g., Litecoin) not using Proof-of-Work (e.g., Peercoin) better scripting/smart contracts (e.g., Ethereum) anonymous (e.g., Zcash, Monero) highly scalable (e.g., Zilliqa) a combination of the previous…
The Holy Grail of Blockchains, or how to build the most scalable, decentralised and secure blockchain, solved in the next publication (bonus: also including identity!).
Current permissionless blockchains are slow, insecure and fail to properly manage the real-world identity of their users. However, our blockchain solves all these problems by pushing the state-of-the-art on cryptographic research. Our identity solution integrates the most diffused identity network…
How are smart contracts being verified nowadays? Generally, smart contracts are stored on the blockchain and the executing party must inspect their source code before executing them. If there are N parties that want to execute the source code, all…
