Hedera is a decentralized public network where developers can build secure, fair applications with near real-time consensus. The platform is owned and governed by a council of global innovators including Avery Dennison, Boeing, Deutsche Telekom, DLA Piper, FIS (WorldPay), Google, IBM, LG Electronics, Magalu, Nomura, Swirlds, Tata Communications, University College London (UCL), Wipro, and Zain Group. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) acts as a trust layer for any application or permissioned network and allows for the creation of an immutable and verifiable log of messages. Application messages are submitted to the Hedera network for consensus, given a trusted timestamp, and fairly ordered. Use HCS to track assets across a supply chain, create auditable logs of events in an advertising platform, or even use it as a decentralized ordering service.
V.SYSTEMS is a blockchain infrastructure provider with a focus on database and cloud services. Powered by the Supernode Proof-of-Stake (SPoS) consensus algorithm, each supernode is elected in a decentralized network according to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) principles, providing high performance minting, transaction processing and smart contract functions. VSYS is the native currency for the V.SYSTEMS blockchain platform with a multitude of uses including transactions, staking and minting on the network. V.SYSTEMS aims to deliver decentralized cloud database technology with high scalability, durability and performance. With Sunny King as the lead architect, V.SYSTEMS has already designed and implemented SPoS Consensus, a super efficient distributed consensus algorithm with the highest resistance to 51% attacks. The network plans to operate as a cloud platform based on modular systems that can support efficient and agile development of a vast variety of applications including but not limited to finance (DeFi), entertainment, social network and many more.
