Auroracoin is a cryptocurrency for Iceland that is launched in February 2014. It is 50% premined and the coins will be distributed free-of-charge to all 330,000 citizens of Iceland via an airdrop starting from the midnight of 25th March 2014. Auroracoin is created as an alternative to the Icelandic krona. The movement of krona is severely restricted by the government and its value has dropped significantly against gold and the dollar since 1960. Each Icelandic national will receive 31.8 auroracoins during the airdrop. The creator of auroracoin goes by the pseudonym Baldur Friggjar Odinsson. Aurorcaoin is a clone of Litecoin.
A high-throughput, DAG-based protocol capable of powering any application. Wavelet | Wasm smart contracts powered by a high-speed ledger. We utilise our unique Wavelet probabilistic DAG-protocol mechanism to facilitate over 31k+ transactions per second and 0-4 second time to finality. What is Wavelet? Wavelet is Perlin’s directed acyclic graph (DAG) based protocol. It is a base-layer ledger which means anyone can build any type of application. It is designed to be the fastest, most secure, and most scalable distributed ledger solution in existence today. Wavelet is underpinned by a new and leaderless proof-of-stake consensus model (LPOS). One of our first use cases for Wavelet is international trade and commerce. Wavelet is well suited for increasing efficiency and transparency for complex processes (that have many inputs and output) such as supply chains and international commerce. While our first commercial focus is bringing Wavelet to the international trade and commerce arena, it is a very flexible protocol and can facilitate a myriad of use cases. Building on Wavelet is designed to be super easy, and we encourage experimentation. If we identify promising real-world applications built on Wavelet, the Perlin team will provide grants and support to facilitate commercial success. Get started here: https://www.perlin.net/
