Title: [ANN][kVAT] Vavilon - Accelerated Smart Contracts and Decentralized Internet.
Post by: Vitalik Kuliev on November 18, 2016, 07:09:01 PM

Vavilon is blockchain platform with accelerated smart contracts and decentralized internet.

Website: https://vavilon.site
Telegram chat for discussion: https://telegram.me/joinchat/A1L3IwkWKGrDqC6eH9Y1OA
Whitepaper : https://vavilon.site/Vavilon_whitepaper.pdf

Ethereum smart contracts are very expensive (gasPrice) and limited (gasLimit). Vavilon proposes the concept of accelerated smart contracts. Execution and storage of smart contract produced outside of blockchain on delegated nodes. Blockchain is used to store hashes of smart contract code and smart contract data. This approach allows significantly increase the number of smart contract operations and reduce its costs.

Computing power rental market is very promising. Vavilon proposes general way to rent user’s computer power. There are several use cases:
  • Media platform (decentralized analog of website with dynamic content).
  • Distributed computation (biology, medicine, rendering, big data analysis...).
  • Cryptography (brute force, mining…)

Specifications:
  • Type: PoW.
  • Algorithm: Dagger Hashimoto.
  • Virtualization: Virtualbox / Docker.
  • Abbreviation: kVAT (kilo Vavilon Application Token).
  • ICO Tokens: 1 000 000 000 kVAT.

ICO coming soon...

woooot a huge total supply ICO Tokens: 1000 000 000 000 VAT...Seriouly Dev

Vavilon proposes the concept of accelerated smart contracts a good point

Why not one QUADRILLION Tokens?

Might as well go fucking big innit?

One Trillion is just so meh......

Absolute values ​​are not important for economics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redenomination
We accepted, that it will be more usable. You can use kVAT, MVAT for your convenience.
kVAT and MVAT are more usable then uBTC and mBTC.

What is the problem with huge number of tokens?

The mainnet will be started after ICO.

Absolutely none if you're aiming for a valuation in Litoshis or even shibes (dogecoin)

I've been away from altcoins for 2 years.
Dagger Hashimoto is GPU-only, right? How does a 7970 Matrix platinum (1100/1650 without OC, 3gb) perform?

I haven't read up fully since my phone is a bit laggy, is the release date announced?

Radeon 7970 performance is about 20-25MHs/sec with Dagger Hashimoto. Dagger Hashimoto is GPU only algoritm, ASIC is not usable at this moment.

Problem with rounding on the exchange was mentioned in Russian branch of discussion. So, we decided to make kVAT as main coin at the project.

Now we have figure of 1.000.000.000 tokens  kVAT. We understand, that 1.000.000.000.000 tokens VAT are too much.
Thank you for your opinion, discussion  and help us to correct this amount.

Privacy of VPS data is not possible in the decentralized network with virtualization. However, there are a number of tasks that do not require privacy and are ideal for such applications.

Questions of privacy and possible applications are discussed in whitepaper.

Thank you very much for the question. We find a positive answer to this question after a few weeks of the research.
Static data can simply be encrypted. Distribution of encrypted keys for specific users can be realized through smart contract.
The data that require processing on a virtual server can be encrypted using the latest developments of the homomorphic encryption. This approach has a lower performance in comparison to the native code, so it should be used in exceptional cases.

We changed the project a lot. The analysis of the market showed that the most demanded direction is GPGPU.

The new name is Artax. Discussion is under the new link:
