DAST is a decentralized services platform using complex technology and simple ideas to empower developers, businesses and common people on our way to blockchain technology mass adoption. There have been several problems on one chain or another defined as “low speed”, “lack of scalability”, “low security” and others. The actual problem is a combination of them all. And the solution is simple. Basic math combined with logic and a couple of simple ideas to reach a secure, scalable and fast CPoS (Combined Proof of Stake) consensus mechanism with insignificant possibility of misbehavior or error. This won’t guarantee mass adoption, but hybrid smart contracts and services that make the chain wanted and usable for most people will. So DAST CHAIN is not only a decentralized services platform, but also adds services required for mass adoption, in a package deal. In 2017, after extensive experience in network infrastructure, web development, programming and affiliate marketing, I started thinking about the idea of DAST. At that time, DAST stood for Digital Advertising and Services Token. As the acronym says, DAST was supposed to be a token on ERC20 for advertising and services (tracking, fraud detection, smart contracts for advertisers and affiliates and more). The problem was that ERC20 could not support high throughput apps because of the low TPS and high gas fees. So ERC20 was out. I tried multiple other chains but none could satisfy my project’s requirements. That is when I started development of DAST CHAIN to be a secure, fast and highly scalable network to support the high throughput myself and others needed. I studied and combined the best solutions with some innovation and improvement to create a high efficiency Decentralized Architecture for Scalable Throughput and achieved breakthroughs on: - Fast and secure consensus - Huge throughput - Multiple services support - Native transfers between chains using physical links and no middlemen - Hybrid smart contracts that accept outside data from secure sources
