æternity is a public, open-source blockchain protocol that enables a platform for next-generation decentralized applications with high scalability. Its core components are written in the functional programming language Erlang and its smart contract language - Sophia - is also functional. æternity has a stellar team of developers including Robert Virding - co-creator of Erlang, John Hughes - co-designer of Haskell, and Ulf Norell - co-designer of the Agda programming language for formal verification. Unlike other blockchain platforms, the æternity protocol itself incorporates a number of essential technological features. State channels for off-chain scaling, oracles for real-world information, and a naming system for increased user-friendliness are all implemented on Layer 1. æternity also features SDKs in Javascript, GO, Phyton, Java, as well as a middleware and a development suite that streamline smart contract development. æternity incorporates the Bitcoin-NG consensus algorithm developed by academics from Cornell University and uses the Cuckoo Cycle mining algorithm for Sybil attack protection. AE tokens, the native cryptocurrency of the æternity platform, is used for both - an economic unit of account and as ballots in the community-driven on-chain governance votes.
ZPER is an ecosystem for decentralized P2P finance, built upon blockchain technology. We aim to create new, efficient financial environment that transcends borders and currencies. Through active cooperation of top established pioneering corporations in the field of P2P finance, we offer innovative flows of funds in global scale. ZPR token is a means of value exchanges that all participants of the ecosystem will be using. It is used as a currency in all transactions, including investments for P2P loans, reimbursement of mature loans, rewards for data providers, commissions for NPL purchasers. Transactions will be kept transparent and independent from currencies and boundaries by the use of ZPR.
