Title: LTO Network Review
Post by: hta on March 31, 2019, 04:29:01 AM
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to cover the LTO Network.

For those that have not heard about this project, it has received a fairly significant amount of buzz in the cryptocurrency community as of late.

In specific, its price trajectory since launch has been a significant source of attention since its launch as well.

However, this report will not provide a price analysis. Instead, this report will seek to answer the following questions about the LTO Network:

What are they?
Who are they?
What does it do?
How does it do it?
Can it work?

Transparency/Disclosure and Background Information
Much of the background information for LTO Network can be found on Messari.
https://messari.io/asset/lto-network

What Does the Messari Disclosure for LTO Network Say?
The fact the “LTO Network” was created in 2014.
It began as a “reg tech startup in the Netherlands focusing on company incorporation and quickly grew to account for over 10% of the entire Dutch market”. The author is not sure what market in specific they mean when they allude to the ‘Dutch market’.
“In 2015, the team realized there was a growing demand for workflow automation, and continued building centralized software for Euronext, Heineken, Deloitte, etc.” ← — — — Name dropping some major clients. That’s worth paying attention to and independently verifying in the near future.

Preliminary Information About the Token Sale
“In December 2017 LTO Network raised the seed round of $1.4M among supportive European community members and early adopters. There was an average of 40% bonus in the seed round, and it was almost fully raised in fiat.”
“ After working for a year, developing the product and getting clients, LTO Network raised private sale in December 2018. The bonus was between 15–30%, raising $1.7M.”
“ The last sale round was the crowd sale, in January 2019. The smart contract was open for 60 hours, during January 14–16. In total, 7990 ETH (990,000 USD) was raised, and remaining unsold tokens were burned, which was over 50% of the crowd sale supply.”

LTO Network x V-ID: presenting unique GDPR-compliant tooling for companies and governments

The Dutch blockchain companies LTO Network and V-ID entered into a partnership by rolling out an immediately applicable, GDPR-compliant blockchain solution for companies and governments. Whereas V-ID are providing smooth interface for users to interact with, LTO Network is the backend of the solution securing the integrity of digital data on its blockchain.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1260/1*dax3QHxus-QyyWV2SsjCXA.jpeg

Deepdive GDPR & Blockchain at CMS
The European Commission recently launched an initial exploration of specific legislation for GDPR compliant blockchain applications. In that context, a program was started in Amsterdam on March the 28th under the leadership of CMS Law, LTO Network and V-ID with the aim of designing a best-practice framework for GDPR compliance in blockchain applications.

At first glance, GDPR seems to be in direct contradiction with the basics of blockchain technology. Blockchain is a way to store events forever, in which the GDPR principle “the right to be forgotten” would appear to be impractical in some cases. You can see here how LTO Network is solving this today.

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/720/1*BgiF5Nrx1DN8kkTcK59-Og.png

LTO Network and V-ID focus on different but complementary aspects of blockchain technology. Where LTO Network focuses on the underlying data security structures, V-ID is a practical platform, intended for direct application in daily work processes. Both companies, however, have the main objective of facilitating the widest possible application of blockchain techniques with the lowest possible threshold for adoption of this technology.

For us, the combination of V-ID and LTO Network is a natural one. Not only because of the energetic and open-minded way they handle blockchain projects with their knowledge and experience but also because both of them are fun to cooperate and explore possibilities in the blockchain space with.
— Katja van Kranenburg-Hanspians, CMS Law Partner

Description
20|30 x Fantom x LTO Network Meetup - Building Ecosystems and Gaining Adoption

April 18th, Thursday, 6:30pm.

MindSpace, Appold Street, 8th floor.

Join us for an indepth presentation and discussion on three juggernauts in the blockchain sphere fighting to develop ecosystems and enterprise adoption or how new startup's are creating innovative token mechanics suitable for the bear market and providing returns for investors.

20|30: Tomer (CEO) & Rob (COO)

Fantom: Andre Cronje (Lead Dev) & Michael Chen (Community Manager Officer)

LTO Network: Rick Schmitz (CEO)

Generous Amounts of Food and Drink Provided

More Information

20|30: 20|30 is a diversified portfolio of blockchain-based products and services. As a new kind of venture studio - different from Idea Lab, 500 Startups, Consensys, or any existing venture funds - we research and test ideas to deliver exceptional products that meet market needs. Projects that launch become part of the 20|30 portfolio.

LTO: Most blockchain projects focus on financial transactions utilizing Smart Contracts. However, this leaves an enormous B2B market untapped. The benefits those parties are actually looking for in blockchain technology are reduction of costs on paperwork, administration, and so on. They need a way to automate processes — not within, but amongst organizations — in a trustless way. They need a level playing field. This is exactly what LTO Network provides. By combining private and public layers, it allows organizations to meet GDPR and data privacy requirements, while preventing the scalability issues typically associated with blockchain projects.

Meetup organised and hosted by CryptoArnie.

LTO Network, a platform blockchain, allowing people to join the system legal without having to rely on a trust or blindly organization or government. Does that mean it will create a separate law?
Or The Belief that they will create themselves?

What Is The Circulating Supply?

What is the actual circulating supply of LTO? How are the tokens distributed at the moment? The coin just had a sudden surge in marketcap on coinmarketcap because they changed or updated the circulating supply.

The confusion has always been around circulation, because LTO can exist on different chains. Besides, there also was a bridge troll. Now, market cap is the sum of all chains: https://docs.lto.network/project/company-area/token

It's now correct :) We are glad this has been fixed! Where are other LTO tokens? Team/company/foundation [locked forever]. Full transparency report: https://docs.lto.network/project/company-area/token/distribution

No new tokens have been released or added - and not planned to. Those LTO have always been there, and most of the community members knew it. The only change now is that it is correctly displayed on other third-party platforms, and that LTO Network is higher in terms of CMC ranking.

That's it 🙏 https://twitter.com/LTOnetwork/status/1138677253020246017

What is sharding?

Sharding is an approach to enabling highly scalable blockchains. This is necessary for any meaningful adoption of blockchain implementations for massively scalable dApps in the future. Zilliqa could be regarded as the most notable sharding implementation to date, with Ethereum also looking at a potential implementation of the technology in the future.

Because are using an adaptation of a PoS consensus, sharding is an attractive option to pursue when designing a highly scalable network.

The confusion has always been around circulation, because LTO can exist on different chains. Besides, there also was a bridge troll. Now, market cap is the sum of all chains


Token: Utility & Bridge Troll: LTO exists as Mainnet coin, ERC-20 token and BEP2 token. The total supply is simply being split among different blockchains, where the bridges make the flows possible

Distributed Workforce. Community DAO Level Up!
https://blog.lto.network/distributed-workforce-community-dao-level-up/


We believe that a community brings a lot of value, which is why it is the most important part of every cryptocurrency project. We call community power Distributed Workforce. This article will explain how LTO Network community works and how to get rewarded for being an active + holder.

As LTO Network team, we do not just publish updates. We involve the community in growing the ecosystem: network usage, marketing, developing the solutions and tools together – and being rewarded for it. We did it before – time to Level Up!

    1 Make a platform account
    2 Register the wallet where you hold 1000 LTO minimum (sybil protection in a way), as well as the mainnet wallet to receive rewards.
    3 Create infographics or memes (Marketing Crew), build technical tools (Tech Lab), or get clients on board (Business band). Every talent can find a job!
    4 Submit your work right there on the platform. The community will decide what is good – not the team.
    5 Help verify and upvote other tasks, get involved in the community, and facilitate LTO Network’s growth. Be active!
    6 Get your index up and receive weekly rewards.
    7 You are now an LTOnaut!

If something seems confusing, just ask – we are all there to help!


How to improve your DAO income

Your index determines your rewards: your index goes up, your rewards go up. The idea is to make a relative index among all participants, who then all share a pool of weekly rewards accordingly.

How to increase your index?

    + Do more work and do better work.
    + Help validate the good work of others.
    + Hold more LTO and for a longer period of time.
Your influence within the platform majorly depends on how long you hold, amongst many other factors – because that is the index of an LTOnaut. Having LTO is good, but keeping them longer is even better. Find more detailed info here. (https://social-mining.gitbook.io/social-mining/how-to-earn/community-rewards)


Distributed Workforce DAO Platform is a combination of features aimed at creating the fairest reward system for all community members involved. You decide what is good and what is not good. And if something seems confusing, just ask – we are all there to help. Join our journey!

LTO Trading Competition + BNBurgers
https://community.binance.org/topic/1012/lto-trading-competition-bnburgers


Does Binance Chain now deliver food? Yes, it does!

Trade on Binance DEX, get the daily volume rewards, and also participate in the BNBurger lottery at the same time!

    + A two-weeks trading competition starting on August 1. Daily snapshots; based on the minimum net buy volume and a minimum holding requirement; share a pool of 20,000 LTO tokens every day (around 1,500 USD). For example, if 10 addresses qualify, you get 150 USD worth of LTO, and so on.

    + Daily lottery for a BNBurger: addresses holding at least 300 LTO (25 USD equivalent) qualify for a daily lottery of 150 LTO. A winner is chosen randomly every day. You can participate and qualify for both competitions at the same time.

So in short, here is what you can do:
Hold 300 LTO and get a chance to win a BNBurger, every day.
Add a bit more to your stack and volume, and also get a chance to share a daily pool of 20,000 LTO!

Trading Competition Description
Activity Period: 01/08/2019 0:00 AM - 15/08/2019 0:00 AM (UTC)

Activity Rules: All Binance Chain addresses that reach net buy of 1000 LTO (around 80 USD or 3 BNB) or more (buying amount - selling amount) on Binance DEX at any LTO trading pairs during each full day, while also holding a minimum of 500 LTO (around 40 USD or 1,5 BNB) in their address at the end of the day, will equally share a pool of 20,000 LTO tokens (around 1,500 USD) each day. The recorded trading volume on each address will reset daily at 0:00 AM UTC.

Activity terms & conditions:
    + LTO Network reserves the right to cancel or amend the Competition or Competition Rules at our sole discretion.
    + Each full day refers to 0:00 AM to 0:00 AM of the next day (UTC), a full 24 hours.
    + LTO and BNB balances for each day will be recorded in the last Binance Chain block after 0:00 AM (UTC), on the next day.

Netherlands Pioneers The Storage Of Standardization Certificates On The Blockchain
https://cryptodaily.co.uk/2019/08/netherlands-pioneers-the-storage-of-standardization-certificates-on-the-blockchain


Blockchain technology might sound like the biggest tech buzzword of the decade, but it already has practical applications beyond cryptocurrencies in The Netherlands.

It is practically impossible to attend any tech conference without enduring a keynote, panel session, or side event on Blockchain. However, despite all the buzz about the disruptive potential of Blockchain technology over the last 10 years, it has largely struggled to unlock mass-market adoption.

In fact; cryptocurrency, the most popular application of Blockchain is still a subject of either outright consternation or cautious exploration by many regulators and governments all over the world.  Of course, several cryptocurrencies are designed as tokens representing the unit of account for some Blockchains projects. Nonetheless, cryptocurrencies have mostly been branded as digital assets for speculative trades and investments.

Therefore, it is incredibly refreshing to get wind of Blockchain projects with practical applications for solving real-world problems without the attendant complication of cryptocurrencies. Dutch blockchain platform, LTO Network is facilitating the adoption of Blockchain technology with enterprise and government clients by solving real world problems with its simplified, scalable and GDPR compliant hybrid Blockchain infrastructure.

Dutch Standardization Institute Adopts Blockchain

Last week, NEN, the Dutch Standardization Institute revealed that it is launching a new solution in collaboration with LTO Network to store standardization certificates on LTO’s blockchain to facilitate instant verification of the certificates for all relevant stakeholders.

In the Netherlands (as the case is in many parts of the world), standardization certificates are usually registered in a centralized system owned and controlled by a standardization agency. This system is often well protected in many countries, but they are often difficult to access and the fact that they serve as a single source of truth makes them potentially vulnerable to security breaches.

In some other jurisdictions, the databases storing such sensitive standardization data are not protected with industry best practices; hence, multiple products or organizations can inadvertently or maliciously share standardization certificates or even end up with unverifiable certificates.

By leveraging LTO Network’s Blockchain, NEN has set the pace for other standardization agencies around the world to store standardization certificates on the Blockchain in a decentralized manner.

LTO’s solution assigns a smart QR code to every certificate and the smart QR code is stored on the blockchain. Stakeholders can then access the QR codes to confirm the validity of any certificate issued by NEN. This guarantees authenticity, which can easily be verified by the users themselves.

In addition, the QR codes are smart and changes to the certificates will be automatically updated on the QR codes, which are then re-hashed on the Blockchain to keep the latest version of truth.

In the words of Harmen Willemse, a Senior Consultant at NEN "Innovation is of paramount importance to NEN. This project shows that we are constantly working to improve our services with regard to the application of standards, so as to remain relevant".

Blockchain Is Also Subject To Standardization

Interestingly, Blockchain technology itself is still a long way off from standardization as it is to be expected of a disruptive technology that is barely 10 years old. For instance, there are more than 2,300 cryptocurrencies in the market; a handful of them are fundamentally unique but most of them are variants of the same idea. Nevertheless, the standardization of Blockchain protocols to facilitate their faster application in enterprise and government activities might happen rather sooner than anticipated.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which develops and publishes International Standards says the first standards for Blockchain technology will be released in the next 18 months. The Blockchain and DLT standardization drive is being championed by ISO/TC 307, a committee within the ISO, which has already hinted that it might first release a technical report on Smart Contracts within the next 12 months.

In another development, OMG, a computer industry standards consortium that creates enterprise integration standards for various technologies has revealed that it is in the process of developing standards for IOTA’s Tangle as a precursor to IOTA getting ISO accreditation.

Here’s Why Standards Certificates Are A Big Deal

Standards certificates occupy an important socio-economic position by the virtue of their influence on businesses, consumers and regulators. Standardization can be a strategic tool for businesses to improve operational efficiency, satisfy customers, and access new markets. Regulators leverage standardization to level the playing field in commerce and to reduce the barriers to international trade. Consumers can rely on standardization certificates for the assurance of quality, safety, and value for money spent on products or services.

LTO Network x V-ID: presenting unique GDPR-compliant tooling for companies and governments

The Dutch blockchain companies LTO Network and V-ID entered into a partnership by rolling out an immediately applicable, GDPR-compliant blockchain solution for companies and governments. Whereas V-ID are providing smooth interface for users to interact with, LTO Network is the backend of the solution securing the integrity of digital data on its blockchain.

Deepdive GDPR & Blockchain at CMS
The European Commission recently launched an initial exploration of specific legislation for GDPR compliant blockchain applications. In that context, a program was started in Amsterdam on March the 28th under the leadership of CMS Law, LTO Network and V-ID with the aim of designing a best-practice framework for GDPR compliance in blockchain applications.

At first glance, GDPR seems to be in direct contradiction with the basics of blockchain technology. Blockchain is a way to store events forever, in which the GDPR principle “the right to be forgotten” would appear to be impractical in some cases. You can see here how LTO Network is solving this today.

LTO Network and V-ID focus on different but complementary aspects of blockchain technology. Where LTO Network focuses on the underlying data security structures, V-ID is a practical platform, intended for direct application in daily work processes. Both companies, however, have the main objective of facilitating the widest possible application of blockchain techniques with the lowest possible threshold for adoption of this technology.

For us, the combination of V-ID and LTO Network is a natural one. Not only because of the energetic and open-minded way they handle blockchain projects with their knowledge and experience but also because both of them are fun to cooperate and explore possibilities in the blockchain space with.
