My pick for the unique ico for 2018 is Open Platform. In the blockchain space, many are claiming to be the first new “this”, “that” and the “other” these day. However, one project I came across recently seems to be the only one to live up to its’ claim of being the first; Open Platform.
Open Platform is the first blockchain payment solution for both apps and Dapps. The Open Platform Protocol will allow for “on” and “off-chain” payments, verification, and transfer of data making it the “all in one” solution for app and Dapp developers. This “all in one” solution is what is currently needed to further expedite adoption of blockchain technology in various area of IT commerce.
Why is Open Platform the key to further blockchain adoption you ask? It is because the Open Platform Protocol does not require devs to have knowledge of difficult coding languages; such as Solidity or rholang. Devs will be able to integrate their apps into the Open Platform Protocol using programming language that they are already familiar with. Open Platform was designed in a way to be a “plug and play” solution making it less complicated and easier to use with any other mainstream application in use today. Apps and Dapp will be able to accept payments, manage payment subscriptions, track and verify users and goods using the platform with ease, Right now there is not other platform which can manage all of these tasks within a single ecosystem; which is why Open Platform is a first of its’ kind.
To insure the safety and security of payments “on” and “off-chain”, Open’s protocol employs two processes unique to its infrastructure; Open State and Open Scaffolds. Scaffolds allow devs to “plug and play” their payment systems into the blockchain expanding the payment ecosystem within the app. This can be done without any additional knowledge or expertise than the dev already has. Open State tracks user payment data to serve as proof of purchase regardless of the difference of payment systems being used across the apps ecosystem. Working together, the Open State and Scaffold verifies transaction for authenticity; removing the potential of fraud and computation errors. All of this can be done using almost any cryptocurrency for payment, removing the need for individual customization to suit the protocols of specific cryptocurrencies.
All this may sound a bit ambitious indeed; however, the all-star team behind Open Protocol is made up of Silicon Valley professionals with the experience to the meet the projects goals. CEO, Ken Sangha has been in the field of app development for many years; even having one of his creations reach the number one spot in the UK iTunes App Store. CTO, Andrew Leung, has lead development teams for companies such as Viacom, Facebook and Pivotal Labs. Having him on the team makes all the difference compared with other projects attempting to develop similar technologies. The remaining members of the team all have equally impressive credentials which are reassuring to say the least.
Open Platform is currently raising funds for its’ ICO (Date TBA) and appears to be ahead of schedule concerning all aspects of the project’s development. ICO date is not set as of yet, but its’ 60K+ Telegram group is a very positive sign. Personally speaking, Open Platform is the only solution that is truly helping to increase mainstream adoption of blockchain technology. Open Platform is the true number one in the space today.
