CRON is a CRYPTOCEAN project token. CRYPTOCEAN is a blockchain based ecosystem that combines financial and technological services for working with crypto-currencies, digital financial assets, and traditional fiat money. You can purchase cryptocurrencies with your bank card/account, get your fiat inside the service and legally transfer it to a card or a bank account. You can also order from them a classic plastic card (crypto card), issued together with their partner banks. It will enable you to deposit and withdraw cash from your financial and crypto accounts in regular ATMs using CRYPTOCEAN services and also pay for purchases – goods and services – with cryptocurrency, as if you were paying with a usual bank card. All the processes of exchanging cryptocurrencies on exchanges, transferring funds from exchanges to your personal account, maintaining the limits you set, will be automatic. You can also pay for goods and services without a crypto card either via our mobile application using a mobile phone with an NFC chip or directly through an online store that has switched CRYPTOCEAN on as a payment system. They made a special crypto account service – a multi-currency crypto wallet for TOP-100 cryptocurrencies. CRYPTOCEAN intend to provide the opportunity to work with the maximum possible number of cryptocurrencies.
The Skycoin Platform is the most advanced blockchain platform in the world. Developed by early contributors to both Bitcoin and Ethereum, Skycoin’s platform is completely secure, infinitely scalable, and ISP independent. It uses its own specific distributed consensus algorithm, called Obelisk, instead of other commonly used algorithms like proof of work (POW) and proof of stake (POS). Obelisk uses the concept of ‘web of trust dynamics’ which distributes influence over the network and makes consensus decisions depending upon the influence score of each node. Each node subscribes to a select number of other network nodes, and the density of a node’s network of subscribers determines its influence on the network. Skycoin is very fast. With transaction speeds close to 2 seconds and no transaction fees it can rival any other cryptocurrency on the market as a payment method. The transaction costs of Skycoin are covered by Coin Hours. This is value paid to Skycoin holders for each hour they hold a Skycoin. Skycoin is against charging transaction costs and mining incentives as it only drives up the costs of the network. The biggest benefit of Skycoin is that it is energy efficient due to the Web-of-Trust social proof. It can even run on a 30-watt cell phone processor making it great for mobile payments. Centralization becomes less of an issue when anyone can participate in the blockchain. Sia stores tiny pieces of your files on dozens of nodes across the globe. This eliminates any single point of failure and ensures highest possible uptime, on par with other cloud storage providers. A major goal of Skycoin is to promote actual usage of cryptocurrency rather than speculation. Skywire, the flagship application of Skycoin, has the ambitious goal of decentralizing the internet at the hardware level and is about to begin the testnet in April. However, this is just one of the many facets of the Skycoin ecosystem. Skywire will not only provide decentralized bandwidth but also storage and computation, completing the holy trinity of commodities essential for the new internet. Skycoin also has its own ICO platform called Fiber, their own deterministic programming language, CX, derived from Golang, a private decentralized messenger system called Sky-Messenger, and a decentralized social media platform, BBS. Here is another way to think of Skycoin: An open-source, community-owned, hardware-based peer to peer internet designed from first principles and leveraging the incentive system of the blockchain.
