Launched on Dec 25, 2016, Obyte is a distributed ledger based on directed acyclic graph (DAG). Thanks to absence of blocks and miners, access to Obyte ledger is decentralized, disintermediated, free (as in freedom), equal, and open. Obyte is the first DAG based cryptocurrency platform to support dApps. Due to absence of miners and blocks, there is no risk of front-running and other miner manipulation, and dApps are safer and easier to develop than blockchain based dApps. DApps are developed in Oscript - a new language that avoids many unsafe programming patterns common in earlier dApp platforms. Thanks to its safety, Obyte is especially well suited for DeFi apps, some are already available on the platform, such as Discount Stablecoins (https://ostable.org), some are being developed. Other features include: self-sovereign identity, private untraceable currencies, sending crypto to email using textcoins, and extremely small-footprint libraries suitable for small IoT devices.
ADN Mainnet is a blockchain-based technology designed to secure ICO investments. Going beyond decentralization, we are pioneers of a built-in investor-oriented mechanism to ensure security and transparency to our investors. ADN aims to transcend into the future of blockchain and ICO with continuous development and innovation. Aiming to provide a tangible solution to existing problems within the industry, we developed a blockchain with high-throughput, high scalability, and high availability for Decentralized Applications (DApps) in the ADN ecosystem. Combining the benefits initially proposed by its cryptocurrency predecessors such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS and TRON, the ADN protocol becomes a high-performance blockchain platform. Integrating the Delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) consensus and ADN Virtual Machine (AVM), it primarily focuses on smart contracts, consensus, and ICO wallet.
