Ferrum is a DAG-based interoperability network that connects to any blockchain and works natively with fiat currencies. It’s like the Lightning Network but for every blockchain. The advanced financial products that run on the network - like our West African fiat gateway (Kudi Exchange) and non-custodial cross-chain OTC wallet (UniFyre Wallet) - aim to empower millions of people around the world. Our network and products are powered by the FRM token, which is spent and burned with every transaction. And coming in later 2020, a high-speed cross chain DEX and mobile cold store application.
Zen is a decentralized financial platform, built from scratch with the goal of providing people with a secure, scalable and useful infrastructure for creating their own financial instruments, and trading them directly without intermediaries.The Zen blockchain is secured by multiple proof-of-work algorithms, with token-holder voting on the balance between them. Multi-hash mining creates robust incentives for miners to deliver efficient, reliable security.Zen smart contracts are written and secured by a subset of the F* functional programming language, allowing users to: A) Prove the amount of resources a contract will consume and provide the necessary fees for running the contract to miners, removing the need for a “gas” based system.B) Prove their contracts meet a given specification, meaning they can prove the contract will definitely do (or not do) something given a specific set of parameters.The Zen platform comes with a built-in solution for oracles, which provide contracts with useful real world data.Finally, Zen is integrated with the Bitcoin blockchain, allowing contracts to observe and respond to native bitcoin transactions
