Bihu consists of two main components: an identity system and a community for crypto investors. Bihu ID(bihu.com)is a self-sovereign ID system based on blockchain technology and decentralized storage. It aims to be the gate keeper for Web3.0, in order to protect users’ wealth, data and privacy. Bihu ID strives to be the 'KEY to Digital Liberty'. Bihu Community is an platform for crypto investors to share and obtain token-investment-related information. It will the first use case for Bihu ID. KEY is the utility token for both Bihu ID and Bihu Community. It is an ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. KEY is used to incentivize content generation within the Bihu Community, as well as the primary method for good content discovery. KEY also is the value exchange method within the Bihu Community, such as tipping between users. Since a single Bihu ID lives on multiple blockchains, it is desired that users will be able to pay KEY for generic network fees (AKA gas). KEY also acts as the generic payment method in the Bihu ID system, for instance, to recover lost IDs.
Sumokoin (スモコイン in Japanese) is a fork from Monero, one of the most respectable cryptocurrency well-known for security, privacy, untraceability and active development. Starting as an educational project, we found that it would be great to create a new coin with high level of privacy by (1) moving forward right away to Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT), (2) setting minimum transaction mixins to 12 that would make it high resistance to blockchain analysis attacks.
