NEO is a next generation smart economy platform (formerly Antshares) and China's first open source blockchain that was founded in 2014, is often known as the “Ethereum of China”. What is NEO? NEO uses a smart economy approach to implement its distributed network concept. Its main objective is to digitize assets using the decentralized network of blockchain technology and digital identity. Neo’s main aim is to be the distributed network for “smart economy”. As their website states: 'Digital Assets + Digital Identity + Smart Contract = Smart Economy.' Neo was developed by Shanghai-based blockchain R&D company “OnChain” and funded by two crowdsales: first crowdsale on October 2015 sold 17.5 million NEO tokens for $550,000 and the second crowdsale sold the remaining 22.5 million NEO tokens for $4.5 million. So why NEO? Asset digitization and identity on the NEO platform essentially creates a novel way for asset registration, issuance, and circulation. This means that tangible assets like real estate, company shares or even fiat money can be digitized and traded on the NEO network, thus giving rise to a whole new economy. Its digital identity system allows for integration between the platform and the real world economy. It has custom digital identity standards that enable the creation of electronic identity data for individuals, organizations and even entities. These electronic systems use multi-layered authentication models that include facial and voice recognition as well as fingerprints. All digital assets on the platform enjoy legal protection thanks to the use of digital certificates on its public blockchain. This, in turn, guarantees trust as the system offers an indelible and unalterable record of all entities’ holdings.
Reforging The Cornerstone Of The Blockchain World CanonChain will be triggered from the protocol layer and the chipset layer of data communications to provide a robust foundation for the entire blockchain industry. The pursuit of inclusiveness and relative fairness is the target of CanonChain. CanonChain will be triggered from the protocol layer and the chip layer of the communication to provide a robust foundation for the entire blockchain industry. UNDERLYING PROTOCOL We have established the basic protocol for the Fog Networking and implemented a new consensus mechanism via a specially designed blockchain chipset that truly fulfill the transactional capability requirements of dApps at the chip-level BUCKYBALL (FULLERENE) NETWORK Our Buckyball topology architecture will support the decentralized characteristics of DeOSes (Decentralized Operating Systems) and Dapps (Decentralized Applications) operations, by reaching consensus on fragmented self-autonomous network. VALUE SYSTEM BASED ON PARTICIPATION Operating on the main chain and application chain of CanonChain. When the blockchain and network resources are being contributed or used in different levels of applications and blockchain nodes, a standard measure is required, which is known as Xuanchi CZR.
