A high-throughput, DAG-based protocol capable of powering any application. Wavelet | Wasm smart contracts powered by a high-speed ledger. We utilise our unique Wavelet probabilistic DAG-protocol mechanism to facilitate over 31k+ transactions per second and 0-4 second time to finality. What is Wavelet? Wavelet is Perlin’s directed acyclic graph (DAG) based protocol. It is a base-layer ledger which means anyone can build any type of application. It is designed to be the fastest, most secure, and most scalable distributed ledger solution in existence today. Wavelet is underpinned by a new and leaderless proof-of-stake consensus model (LPOS). One of our first use cases for Wavelet is international trade and commerce. Wavelet is well suited for increasing efficiency and transparency for complex processes (that have many inputs and output) such as supply chains and international commerce. While our first commercial focus is bringing Wavelet to the international trade and commerce arena, it is a very flexible protocol and can facilitate a myriad of use cases. Building on Wavelet is designed to be super easy, and we encourage experimentation. If we identify promising real-world applications built on Wavelet, the Perlin team will provide grants and support to facilitate commercial success. Get started here: https://www.perlin.net/
nOS is a virtual operating system that introduces a new, decentralized internet. On this new internet user data is safe, and it only goes where the user wants it to go. nOS solves key issues surrounding dApp development, deployment, discovery, and interaction, allowing for true adoption of decentralized applications and blockchain technology. Because applications can choose to make their back-ends fully open-source and transparent, this new implementation of the World Wide Web is defined as the Open Internet. On nOS, applications and websites can be deployed in a completely open and decentralized manner by integrating smart contracts, client-side code, and public-key cryptography. Unlike server-side backend code, smart contracts can be open for all to read, allowing users to review how their data will be transmitted before any final commitments to action. Client-side code and other frontend materials can be distributed via nOS Filesystem, a decentralized file sharing protocol that allows for secure and transparent distribution of static files. By serving both backend logic and frontend material in an open-source, decentralized manner, true transparency between user and application can be achieved. dApps that are deployed to nOS can be accessed through nOS Client, a software solution for desktop and mobile that (among other features) introduces nOS Browser. nOS Browser functions as a web browser, with the added benefit that it integrates with the nOS Protocol, a blockchain-powered web protocol that facilitates secure and open accessibility of nOS dApps. The nOS Protocol resolves domain names that exist on nOS Name Service, a blockchain-powered decentralized implementation of a Domain Name Service, and allows for dApps to register domain names which are discoverable on nOS (e.g. mydapp.neo or my-dapp.eth). The dApp Gateway is a user-friendly dApp discovery platform (or “App Store”) where rankings are decided in a completely decentralized manner via Decentralized Authority. In order to achieve the features such as the ones described above, nOS is powered by the nOS Utility Token. The nOS Utility Token employs various staking and reward utilities which are intended for developers who wish to deploy and maintain dApps on nOS, and for end-users who wish to practice governance by Decentralized Authority. nOS eliminates the need for end-users to manually exchange crypto-currencies in order to make use of various dApps. By integrating crypto-currency exchange APIs, nOS Client automatically converts primary blockchain platform currencies (e.g. NEO/GAS for NEO, ETH for Ethereum) into the required amount of application tokens that are needed to make specific transactions or invocations.
