AION Mainnet Launch

[Javi_Anibarro]

can you buy at this price, friends? what do you think? it will be one of the important projects of the future. 

of course you can buy it at this price because it can be considered as a good and potential project.
BUT,it will only works if you can afford to hold it for a while.
why i say this ? Bitcoin shows us a bearish movement and it might go to below $7000 in a couple weeks later or months.
which means everything will comes after it right ? but it also has a possibility to remain the same at this level even though Bitcoin is drowning.
make your own strategy and your own choice.
remember.
always plays everything that you can afford to lose!

What the hell is going on with AION? 20k satoshis?
That's a little bit harsh. Maybe I should get more..

The perfect storm is brewing for Aion to become a leader in the crypto space:

1. AIONEX, EDCON & CONSENSUS 2018 conferences have introduced AION to more people, developers & institutional investors than ever before. Matthew Spoke's performance on Consensus Interoperability Panel with Ripple, Polkadot & Litecoin left everlasting reactions & received the only applauses at the end of the Interoperability Panel.

AION's inaugural Dev conference AIONEX at Toronto on May 02, had 650 attendees. This is a record unseen by any other crypto's inaugural dev conference to date, compared to just 40 attendees at 1st Ethereum Devcon in 2014. And if Devcon grew to 350 attendees in 2015, it's not hard to see that the next AION Dev conference attendance will be in the thousands.

 

2. Token Swap from Aion ERC-20 to native Aion coins will soon be announced. The ETH-AION cross-chain bridge is already built & was showcased live on stage at AIONEX & EDCON, so it's only a matter of time before it's released.

3. US, Korean & Chinese exchanges are clearly waiting for the Token Swap to take place before they list native Aion coins rather than Aion ERC-20 tokens, they don't want to painstakingly swap ERC-20 tokens themselves as seen in ICON's token swap delay that's taking exchanges about 2-months & still not accomplished.

 

4. AION team has grown to 60 in-house team members in 4 different Aion offices in North America, Europe & Asia and plan to grow to 100 people by EOY. This is extremely rare in the crypto space & can only be compared to less than half a dozen of massive platform projects like CARDANO & EOS.

 

Aion GitHub activity is continuously ranked in top 10 platforms on Darpal Rating and CryptoMiso. Github activity, along with commits quality, are important metrics that get overlooked all the time when people compare Aion to other projects based on number of telegram users. Ethereum & Neo never even had telegram... Fat Protocol Ecosystems are not built by telegram hype but rather by worldwide Dev meetups & armies of developers that can build or contribute something that can change the world.

 

5. AION PR & Marketing are shifting into high gears now that the Mainnet is live. AIONEX, EDCON & CONSENSUS 2018 have put AION on the radar of the media. Matt Spoke is slowly becoming crypto's poster boy as seen on RBC's Disruptors Panel. It's only a matter of time before the mainstream media finds out about AION.

 

6. AION is introducing Real Technological Break-throughs with the first Cross-Chain bridge that completely moves tokens seamlessly between different blockchains using the Burn/Mint mechanism, unlike all Dapp platform projects since Ethereum that are still simple blockchain 2.0 platforms with no cross-chain capability or Atomic Swap projects that only transfer value between chains, but come with major limitations.

 

Another important point that gets forgotten in the Aion vs other interoperability projects is that Aion is all these 3 things at the same time:

I. Dapp platform with its own Virtual Machine

II. Router that transfers value & logic between networks:

. IF THIS happens on blockchain A

. THEN THAT should happen on blockchain B

III. Framework for Spoke chains that can scale infinitely to achieve unlimited TPS (This will slowly render current single-chain scaling solutions futile & will put an end to their TPS arms race, as Dapps will want to scale & become interoperable & accessible to users of any network rather than isolated within one single blockchain)

 

AION is increasingly recognized as the leader of Interoperability —the holy grail of blockchain tech— that will solve scalability, privacy & isolation issues to unlock the true potential of Distributed Ledger Technologies. "This is the internet, decentralized."

 

7. METCALFE’s LAW states that the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n2). This was proven repeatedly in the growth patterns of fat protocols like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Neo. Metcalfe’s Law favors interoperability projects even more, because Aion native tokens have utility far beyond the main Aion-1 blockchain:

Main Aion-1 blockchain

Inter-chain transactions on all bridges

Interoperable Dapps (Dapps that are accessible to users of any network)

Participating blockchains

 

8. Major AION Partners & Clients like Deloitte, TMX group (Canada's largest stock exchange), Moog Space & Defense Group, Vodafone, TD Bank, etc... are slowly moving their blockchain infrastructure to AION blockchain as they announced at AIONEX conference. This is taking place & growing the AION ecosystem while other Dapp platforms are rushing to parade their new Dapp ICOs that have little to no legitimate need for blockchain tech in the first place, but were rushed to launch ICOs to simply boast their Dapp numbers & suck more ICO funds from unsuspecting investors.

 

9. Future Partnerships will be relatively easy for AION to acquire given AION team's role as a founding board member of the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance, with the likes of Microsoft, Intel & JP Morgan (not just a regular EEA member like most other crypto projects) & the Blockchain Research Institute.

 

Aion cofounder Matthew Spoke has also strong credentials as the Fintech Advisor for the Ontario Securities Commission & Ministry of Finance and as a cofounder of the Muskoka Group along with the Tapscotts & Ethereum cofounder & ConsenSys founder Joeseph Lubin.

 

Not to mention Aion's unmatched advisory board from TMX group VP & Board of Directors and connections to Ethereum cofounders; Anthony Di lorio, Joeseph Lubin, Vitalik who's an advisor to Nuco.io & his father Dmitry Buterin who's an Angel investor in Nuco.io the company building Aion.

 

10. The TRS is coming to an end soon; however, the end of the token release schedule will slowly starts to get priced in long before the last release of Nov 2018; the date after which no more Aion will be released to public ever. Only mining/staking rewards will continue thereafter. The TRS also helps AION market cap climb up the MarketCap list with every release, adding to the increasing visibility & exposure that AION is getting.

 

People have seen what happened to fat protocols like Ethereum, Neo & Cardano, but it takes a special breed of people (and a bit of luck) to foresee why AION will have a much bigger growth & impact potential on the entire crypto space. (This is not a financial advice. DYOR.)

[Powerpuff]

Aion’s desire to become a reputable and trusted blockchain for corporations and governments may have possibly influenced their caution on growing too quickly. Aion has managed to attract some strong support from big brands: included on Aion Foundation’s advisory board are Anthony Di Iorio, the co-founder of Ethereum; a Vice-President from the Toronto Stock Exchange as well as a former VP from  Yahoo!.

Aion-Dipesh:
That is further down the roadmap, once we have our bridge deployed and move Aion Erc 20 to native AION, the traded coins will be the native AION coins and tokens that are being mined on the main net will have liquidity

William:
Did I understand you correctly that exchanges will change to the Aion blockchain after the first bridge is deployed? Is the team working with exchanges to make this transition?
Also, will the first bridge implementation be a one-way-only from ERC-20 to native Aion?

Aion-Dipesh:
Yes this is the logical step and we are working on that

Aion Token Bridge [Alpha Version]

Interoperability is a core pillar of the Aion Network. This functionality is both ambitious to build, as well as a prerequisite for Blockchain technology to be adopted and used in new markets and exciting new use cases. Part of delivering on that ambition is a product release schedule that is agile and builds iteratively. The Aion Token Bridge is the first major release in the roadmap to a fully functioning Generic Bridge, where assets, data, and value can be transferred across blockchains using a common protocol. On May 2nd, 2018 at the AIONEX conference the Aion team did a live demonstration of the Ethereum to Aion Token Bridge.

ERC-20 to Aion

The Aion Token bridge is built to facilitate decentralized transfer of value from the Ethereum network to the Aion network. The Aion token bridge is designed for a specific purpose of unidirectional transfer of Aion ERC-20 from the Ethereum Network to native Aion Coin on the Aion-Kilimanjaro network. This bridge implementation works through a bridge cluster containing a set of nodes with hooks into both networks. These nodes actively listen to bridge specific events on both networks and act only on specific transactions or interactions on either network i.e. Aion ERC-20 transfer to Aion coin.
The above high-level diagram illustrates the three main structural components of the Aion Token Bridge; Ethereum network clients, Bridge nodes, and Aion-Kilimanjaro network clients. More detail of each of these components, their role, and function, as well as an in-depth explanation of the how this bridge works will be published in a follow-up post. Until then, check out the live demo of the token bridge from the AIONEX conference.
An early version of the bridge was demonstrated at AionEx, below is a video of the presentation here is a link to the slides.

Hi everyone, happy to announce that you can now spin up an Aion node using Microsoft Azure -https://blog.aion.network/microsoft-azure-lists-aionnode-a563181b0fbd

[windave]

Microsoft Azure Lists AionNode
Microsoft Azure, the cloud computing service listing over 600 applications in its marketplace, has officially listed AionNode. The AionNode listing on Azure will facilitate the process of developer set-up while reducing the physical infrastructure one would require to build on the Aion blockchain.
Azure launched in 2010 and currently offers services for the deployment and configuration of Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric blockchains, as well as various other blockchain platforms. AionNode will enable users to deploy their own node and run the Aion kernel on the Azure hosted cloud, allowing for users to select virtual system configurations of 1–128 cores and 1–3800 GB of RAM. This marks a huge step in making Aion more accessible and scalable for its users.
Individuals who wish to launch their node on Microsoft Azure will first need to register as an Azure member, then select their desired virtual machine and system configurations found under “Plans and Pricing.” For those interested,
AionNode can be found here: https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-in/marketplace/apps/nuco-networks.aionnode?tab=Overview

This did not pumped the price just like many people were expecting, but i am sure that the price will skyrocket in a few months from now just like it happened during the last december.
Aion will be $10 soon

[bvar69]

AION is a great blockchain. Canadian based, solid team, I'm an early satisfied investor.

Also very solid community behind them.

[Maxxxon7]

Guys who knows if AION holds airdrop? So many rumors about it ... is it true or not?
