The Raiden Network is an off-chain scaling solution, enabling near-instant, low-fee and scalable payments. It’s complementary to the Ethereum blockchain and works with any ERC20 compatible token. The Raiden project is work in progress. Its goal is to research state channel technology, define protocols and develop reference implementations. The introduction of payment channels, specifically the type first described by the Lightning Whitepaper (which introduced the Lightning Network), seeks to fix the scalability and congestion issues that currently plague blockchain technology. While the Lightning Network operates on the Bitcoin blockchain, Raiden introduces a comparable solution for the Ethereum network. There are several key features of the Raiden Network Token. Expedited transfer confirmations (<1 second ). Current transfers on the Ethereum blockchain can take a few seconds to minutes. Private transfers that are not viewable on the global ledger. Solve scalability issues so that Ethereum can create mass adoption, allowing Ethereum to become the peer-to-peer, global payments infrastructure with electronic cash that it was initially designed for. Low fee transactions. Micropayment capability that works in union with any ERC-20 token. The Raiden Network project is being developed by Germany’s Brainbot Technologies AG, a software company devoted to blockchain protocol development. Founded in the year 2000 by Heiko Hees, it currently has between 11 to 50 employees in offices among Berlin, Mainz, and Copenhagen. Also the founder of PediaPress, Hees has been a core developer of Ethereum since March 2014. Being a core developer for Ethereum, it is evident on how the founder sees the flaws in the current its present protocol with ways to improve it. Interestingly enough, the website does not include RDN as one of their main blockchain developments, which could be attributed to the difficulty of highlighting a wide variety of projects they are currently undertaking on one page. However, there are no updates on the status of the Raiden Network Project on either Twitter nor Medium since December 1st, 2017. Raiden can be used for a wide variety of applications and purposes such as Micropayments For Content Distribution, Decentralized M2M Markets, API Access and Fast Decentralized Exchanges.'
CRON is a CRYPTOCEAN project token. CRYPTOCEAN is a blockchain based ecosystem that combines financial and technological services for working with crypto-currencies, digital financial assets, and traditional fiat money. You can purchase cryptocurrencies with your bank card/account, get your fiat inside the service and legally transfer it to a card or a bank account. You can also order from them a classic plastic card (crypto card), issued together with their partner banks. It will enable you to deposit and withdraw cash from your financial and crypto accounts in regular ATMs using CRYPTOCEAN services and also pay for purchases – goods and services – with cryptocurrency, as if you were paying with a usual bank card. All the processes of exchanging cryptocurrencies on exchanges, transferring funds from exchanges to your personal account, maintaining the limits you set, will be automatic. You can also pay for goods and services without a crypto card either via our mobile application using a mobile phone with an NFC chip or directly through an online store that has switched CRYPTOCEAN on as a payment system. They made a special crypto account service – a multi-currency crypto wallet for TOP-100 cryptocurrencies. CRYPTOCEAN intend to provide the opportunity to work with the maximum possible number of cryptocurrencies.
