The advent of secure public blockchains through Bitcoin and later Ethereum, has brought forth a notable degree of interest and capital influx, providing the premise for a global wave of permissionless innovation. Despite lofty promises, creating a decentralized, secure and scalable public blockchain has proved to be a strenuous task.

This paper proposes Elrond, a novel architecture which goes beyond state of the art by introducing a genuine state sharding scheme for practical scalability, eliminating energy and computational waste while ensuring distributed fairness through a Secure Proof of Stake (SPoS) consensus. Having a strong focus on security, Elrond’s network is built to ensure resistance to known security problems like Sybil attack, Nothing at Stake attack and others. In an ecosystem that strives for interconnectivity, our solution for smart contracts offers an EVM compliant engine to ensure interoperability by design.

Preliminary simulations and testnet results reflect that Elrond exceeds Visa’s average throughput and achieves an improvement beyond three orders of magnitude or 1000x compared to the existing viable approaches, while drastically reducing the costs of bootstrapping and storage to ensure long term sustainability

Opiria-Platform and PDATA Token are creating a global decentralized marketplace for the secure and transparent buying and selling of personal data.

Companies worldwide desperately need personal data from consumers to understand their needs and requirements in order to design products and services that fuel desire as well as perfectly target marketing and sales activities.

This is why data brokerage is a 250 billion USD/year industry and personal data the oil of the 21st century.

Opiria-Platform enables consumers to earn money by monetizing their personal data. Companies can buy personal data directly from consumers and compensate them with PDATA Tokens.

PDATA Token is the currency that expresses the value of personal data and enables its trading by using smart contracts on the blockchain.

Opiria platform will connect consumers and companies globally and become the world ́s largest decentralized personal data marketplace.

Opiria-Platform and PDATA Tokens will democratize the brokerage of personal data in a secure, lawful, fair and transparent way, by making use of blockchain technology and the principle of choice – your choice to securely sell your personal data with whom you want with the help of our platform. We give companies access to real, reliable and high-quality consumer data and compensate consumers for their data with PDATA tokens – all the while respecting their privacy, in line with rigorous General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines.

While Link will initially launch on the Ethereum network — and we will use Ethereum as an example throughout the whitepaper — Link has the potential to support smart contracts on every major programmatic blockchain. The goal of Link is to remove the barriers developers and users face in interacting with blockchain-powered applications. It accomplishes this objective by abstracting away the many confusing, esoteric processes currently necessary for a developer to interact with a smart contract or a user to interact with a decentralized application, including:

● Learning Solidity or other programming languages
● Hosting an Ethereum node or related infrastructure
● Creating an Ethereum address

The process of creating a “Link app” from a smart contract is quite simple: any developer may register a smart contract with Link by providing its address and ABI, from which Link generates a set of standard API endpoints. Link also generates synchronized, dynamic API reference documentation, as well as interactive analytical tools to help developers understand how their smart contract is used, both on and off Link. Finally, Link also generates an API key for use by the developer, as well as an ETH account that Link will use to perform requests on the developer’s or client’s behalf. Link has three primary, and vital, value propositions:

1. Create a traditional, web-based application from a smart contract or decentralized app
2. Allow traditional developers to empower their web-based applications with smart contract

infrastructure
Link is a tool of adoption and growth for blockchain-based DApps. It opens up blockchain programming to developers without blockchain experience, and opens up blockchain-powered applications to users unfamiliar with the arcane intricacies of accessing networks like Ethereum.

Furthermore, Link is a tool applicable to every blockchain enterprise. By managing the necessary, but tedious mechanisms of blockchain interaction, Link frees developers to pursue more creative and innovative projects. It also opens every blockchain project to the general public, making decentralized applications as easy to use as any other application with which the population is already familiar. With Link, it is entirely possible to imagine a near future in which every member of our society utilizes a blockchain-powered application on a daily basis without even knowing it.

Consistent with the theme of removing barriers to blockchain adoption, Blockmason is working hard to make the Link Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering simple and familiar for all users. Developers, startups and entrepreneurs will have the option of staking their account with Link’s token, or using traditional payment methods like credit cards.

Blockmason Link is a new application designed to generate simple web APIs from smart contracts written on programmatic blockchains.

What is ETHplode?

ETHplode is a store of value built on the Ethereum blockchain with deflationary characteristics. Whenever $ETHPLO is transferred, 0.5% of the amount is burned. This built in self destructive functionality increases the assets scarcity over time, and is hard coded directly into our monetary structure.

ETHplode is based on the design of the Bomb token – the original hyper deflationary, self-destructing currency.
