Achain is a public blockchain platform that enables developers of all levels to issue tokens and create smart contracts, decentralized applications, and blockchain systems. Achain is committed to building a global blockchain network for information exchange and value transactions. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, Achain utilizes a modified version of DPoS — RDPoS (Result-delegated Proof of Stake) to establish node consensus. Shortly, DPoS suggests that all coin holders vote for the validator nodes that will produce the next blocks. On the project website, only info about CEO Tony Cui is listed. Cui has a few significant accomplishments, including winning the Future Star award from the Zhongguancun Alliance and being listed in the 30 under 30 on CYZONE, a famous venture capital magazine. On LinkedIn, 51 people are listed as employees at Achain. Most of the team is based in Beijing. Achain also has a few key industry partners. It has even co-organized a “Blockchain Technology Open Course” with Tsinghua University, which is widely recognized as one of the world’s top universities. The roadmap for Achain development is fairly detailed. However, most goals listed are development-oriented rather than marketing or design. Still, it’s important to note that focusing on making the protocol interoperable and building a technology that is more accessible to mainstream adoption could also be considered a marketing-oriented part of this project. There are three major phases with projected completion dates listed. These include Singularity (completed Q1), Galaxy (ongoing), and Cosmos (complete at the end of Q4). One thing to note is that dates for these phases are not consistent between the homepage and the whitepaper. This could be simply due to a scenario in which phase names remain the same while new goals and timeline dates within those phases continue to change. In January 2019, the project will update the website to reflect roadmap goals for the new year. Looking at the current landscape of blockchain projects, Achain certainly offers the possibility of much-needed technical innovations. The ability to easily create an Achain fork, as well as, the protocol’s unique RDPoS consensus algorithm make this a promising project. It will be interesting to see how Achain builds upon its accomplishments, and how the project team continues to develop a long-term strategy for improving the protocol’s technical capabilities and increasing participation in its ecosystem.
Nebula AI is a decentralized blockchain integrated with Artificial Intelligence and sharing economies. With the Nebula blockchain, developers can deploy their Artificial Intelligence applications easily on a blockchain platform. The integrated API/SDK and payment services allow the developers to earn revenue based on the AI smart contract. Nebula AI also allows the GPU miners to contribute their GPU hash power to AI computing power which allow for a variety of AI applications. This invention allows Nebula AI to compete with the pricing of Amazon and Google cloud computing services. The blockchain technology provides a digital trust mechanism for human beings which enhances the efficiency of value exchange and reduces costs, the genuinely credible and efficient Internet of Value is approaching. In recent years, many breakthroughs have been made in the field of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence has now penetrated every corner of human society and will become an essential cornerstone of change in human society. Nebula AI is committed to building a decentralized artificial intelligence computing blockchain (NBAI) that reduces the energy costs of traditional Proof of Work by converting GPU mining machines into AI computing services.The AI transactions recorded on NBAI will be irreversible. The distributed computing network also ensures high concurrency and low latency computing power. The conversion of GPU mining machines makes it possible to provide more cost-effective artificial intelligence services. Nebula AI will cooperate with large-scale third-party Internet data centers to provide adequate computing power for AI computing. Nebula AI has established an artificial intelligence training centre in Canada. System-based quantitative finance, image identification and other blockchain applications are also in development. The well-developed NBAI ecosystem integrates the top-level applications such as DAI App, scientific research and application, university education, and the bottom-level of NBAI blockchain, Artificial Intelligence Mining Machine and Artificial Intelligence Data Center. The innovative economic model of NBAI ecosystem is the realization of a complete set of value-added economic systems.
