Humaniq celebrates success: First working hybrid Blockchain and 100,000-strong community

Reaching a technological and a community-building milestone gives Humaniq reason to be confident for future expansion, as it finds way to cut transaction costs, and hundred thousandth community member joins.

London, March 19, 2018 - Humaniq has achieved the first working hybrid Blockchain with the 2.0 version of its app, to retain the benefits of the Ethereum main-net while expanding faster.

Humaniq today announces that the recently launched 2.0 version of our app is delivered on a unique Hybrid Blockchain. In a technological milestone, it is the first project with a working hybrid Blockchain that is not in prototype or beta-testing stage. Humaniq has successfully solved the problem of scaling ERC20 projects. The new, improved app sits on the Ethereum Blockchain with the unique combination of sidechain solutions in individual African countries, such as Uganda, Senegal, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Rwanda.

Before, all Humaniq coin transactions were made on the Ethereum main-net. However, the security of a transaction in the main Ethereum network is provided at a cost of about $84.85 at the current rate[1]according to figures that apply until 15th March, 2018. This is a barrier to the App’s expansion and to emerging economies entering the 21st Century economy. This is why the company started work on a new architecture that would both allow for HMQ tokens to remain open and accessible on the Ethereum main-net, and also provide an inexpensive method to secure the network - vital to allow our users to make small transactions with transaction fees close to zero.

The solution consists of one, main, HMQ Blockchain, and a number of internal Blockchains where user wallets from different countries are stored and operated together, while remaining identifiable and personalised based on the user’s country location. When the capacity of the existing Blockchain due to the volume of transactions gets fulfilled, the system unpacks and boots up the next Blockchain to scale the system horizontally.

It means that transactions can continue to be made in a decentralised and transparent way, necessary to overcoming the cost barriers to expanding financial services to the many regions that banks do not serve. But now there is no ceiling to the growth of Humaniq community and of the use of the app, which has been already downloaded more than 100,000 times from Google Play. It also means the company remains open to any regulatory rules that individual nations may adopt.

“Our development team’s proud of this technological first, which brings together the benefits of the Ethereum Blockchain and of individual Blockchains. Our unique solution allows us to serve ever more of the global unbanked population, building on the 100,000 downloads already made - without the costs of providing services of either the miners or the traditional banks,” said Anton Mozgovoy, CTO Humaniq.

State of Development: Week of March 12th, 2018



Release 0.10.0 is out!
With much dedication and patience, this week we managed deliver our next release — 0.10.0. The release focuses on optimizing and improving the security of the peers synchronization protocol by reducing the amount of data exchanged between them and ensuring the synchronization is resilient to network failures.

But there is more. In addition to the work on æternity’s sync protocol, the new release:

*Eases verification of the Coinbase transaction, by including the mining reward within it. This impacts both
  the consensus and the persisted DB;

*Makes the lookup of blocks/headers by height faster by introducing an index in the DB. This impacts the
  persisted DB;

*Fixes an attack vector, in which a malicious node can claim to be at height one million ahead with higher
  difficulty. Before this fix, a peer would have to read all one million headers and start building the chain
  before they are able to detect the node’s malicious behavior. If this attack is done repeatedly, it could
  completely deplete the node’s memory. The fix allows a peer to determine if the node is malicious and
  break all further communications with it.

Waltonchain’s First Child Chain Freyrchain Debuted at the 2018 TokenSky Blockchain Conference

Blockchain is an overturning application of innovative technology, which constantly opens new directions of human technology development.

On March 15, the 2018 TokenSky Blockchain Conference officially concluded at the Grand Hilton Hotel in Seoul, South Korea. The world’s top blockchain experts and scholars, upstream and downstream companies, investment institutions, technology geeks, media and token enthusiasts gathered here to discuss blockchain technology innovation and token industry changes.

Waltonchain attracted much attention at the conference with its child chain debut.

As an industry leader in implementation of the “Value Internet of Things”, Waltonchain relies on real-world demand for scientific and technological applications and innovatively combines the blockchain technology with RFID chips to change the global business ecosystem fundamentally.

Blockchain industry is moving forward very fast. Every structural change can qualitatively affect the development of the whole industry.

Waltonchain first proposed the “parent chain + child chain + application” core architecture using which companies from different industries can create various child chains and tailor them to their needs. This small step by Waltonchain has laid the foundation for cross-industry data chains, a giant leap for the whole industry.

Freyrchain, the first child chain of Waltonchain, is also known as the world’s first blockchain-based collectibles data authenticity platform. It has fully applied the advantages of the blockchain technology, integrated a massive amount of professional data resources, digitized and uploaded them to blockchain rapidly, thus building the first global blockchain + culture big data platform.

At the conference, as a pioneer of the blockchain + art collectibles industry, Freyrchain CMO Kelly Zheng was invited to present the project.

Having the world’s largest blockchain-based collectibles data platform, Freyrchain can offer inquiries on collectibles data, historical transaction records, description etc. and provides support in collectibles authenticity identification globally. The implementation of this technology has not only solved such innate problems of the art collection industry as artwork authentication and the lack of transaction transparency, but also provided a low-threshold entry to let the public join the art collection industry easily.

In the coming future, with the establishment of a commercial ecosystem including many areas such as smart agriculture, smart medical care and food traceability, Waltonchain will become the engine of the next-generation IoT, achieving the new commercial culture revolution of common creation, existence, benefit and sharing across all industries and leading to the next rise of humanity.

WINGS Token Launch and Evaluation System Now Live in Beta
https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/03/19/1442177/0/en/WINGS-Token-Launch-and-Evaluation-System-Now-Live-in-Beta.html

ZUG, Switzerland, March 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WINGS Foundation (wingsfoundation.ch) today announced the Beta launch of its Ethereum-based system for curating and evaluating token sales and token generation events. With WINGS, companies launching tokens can understand their fundraising potential through valuations based on crowdsourced Artificial Intelligence and human evaluations. The WINGS community is incentivized to surface the best projects through an algorithmic reputation system, bringing attention to them among potential investors.

“With 44 projects using WINGS in pre-Beta over the past nine months, we’ve been able to understand and build a standardized set of interfaces integrating custom Ethereum-based token generation contracts into the WINGS system,” said WINGS Foundation Council President Boris Povod. “Our Beta release offers the best decentralized price discovery and due diligence system in the industry, backed by a unique dataset of performance intelligence on our crowd analysts.”

In the new WINGS Beta release, projects deposit 5000 WINGS test tokens to be accepted to the Ethereum-based decentralized application (DApp) and then configure an ERC20 standard token sales contract with no coding knowledge. WINGS users can choose between using a custom contract or a visually configurable smart contract generator. If 50 percent or more of the participating community members forecasting power (by forecast ratings scores) agree that a project should be listed on the WINGS DApp, the project is accepted and given an crowd-powered valuation. If not, the project is rejected and the project’s deposit is given to the curating community.

WINGS community members are also asked to predict the amount that a project will bring in, either in ETH, USD or EUR, to help companies evaluate their fundraising potential and to surface enticing projects for project backers. Community members who participated in the pre-Beta will also have a “forecast rating” assigned to the Ethereum account they used for forecasting.

“With regulators globally turning their attention to cryptocurrencies and ICOs, the WINGS system allows projects to get a community-endowed badge of distinction that separates them from the pack,” said Dominik Zynis, Head of Communications at WINGS Foundation. “WINGS offer a valuable, algorithmic method for the cryptocurrency community to self-police and curate high-quality projects.”

Starting with Bancor in 2017, 44 organizations using WINGS for price discovery have raised approximately $700 million. Projects recently benefiting from WINGS include Aurora DAO, PolySwarm, WePower, CoinDash, DomRaider, AdEx, and Fan Controlled Football League. WINGS incorporates the insights from these 44 crowdfunding events into its new Beta release.

To try out WINGS, visit: https://wings.ai/. Current capabilities include project creation, curation and forecasting, and point and click crowdsale smart contract configuration and presentation. Projects wishing to integrate their token generation or sales contract with the W

Announcement on increasing the amount of active delegates of TravelChain
https://medium.com/@travelchain/announcement-on-increasing-the-amount-of-active-delegates-of-travelchain-21c214055432



TravelChain is a self-managed and self-regulated economic system.
Delegates there act as technical observers. There is TravelChain software on their servers and for the system maintenance they get rewarded with TravelTokens.

Network functioning and executed program code of the economic system depends on delegates. When a need of changing the code in order to implement additional functions of the blockchain core appears, delegates will do this job.
What’s more, if delegates do something wrong they can be disbanded by the community at any moment and gathered again but with different members.

Amount and membership of system delegates is fully managed by the community via real-time voting. Votes for delegates get recalculated once an hour with the delegative democracy rules. It means that every community member can vote by himself/herself or give his right of vote to another community member.

Each delegate should create post about himself/herself, make an introduction. Community should consider the fact that by choosing delegates they make a decision on the technical management of the TravelChain blockchain — technical leaders.
