The gene source chain system will create the world's first distributed storage network public chain system that provides genetic data and individual health data. Health and medical providers, including chronic disease management agencies and health counseling providers, can use the Gene Source Chain System to create DApps. These applications will provide users with personalized and accurate health services based on genome and health data, subject to user consent. As a proof of concept, the Gene Source Chain Foundation will also support the creation of a gamified health DApp to help build the ecosystem.
Novacoin is a hybrid Proof of work (POW) / Proof of stake (POS) decentralized peer-to-peer cryptocurrency.The Proof of Work part of Novacoin is based on the Scrypt hashing algorithm. Proof of Stake contributes to the coins energy efficiency, as there is no need for nodes to contribute mining power to part of the money creation process. As of now, Novacoin is set to be capped at 2 billion coins. However Novacoin stated that the cap limit may be lifted if the situation requires it. It looks very much like a variation of Sunny King Peercoin.
