Democratizing IoT data with infinitely-scalable concurrent contracts, trustless light nodes, and encrypted data markets on top of block lattice.
Distributed ledger technologies (DLT) can address many of IoT's challenges, making them perfectly complementary. The bad news is, current DLT's foundation is weakened by numerous flaws, making it poorly-suited for large-scale IoT applications, which is why we built Taraxa.

Inspired by the principles of software transactional memory (STM), Taraxa achieves node-level concurrency by speculative parallelization of smart contract calls, with conflict minimization achieved from built-in concurrent data structures.
Each contract call is initially ordered by sets by the contract creator or its delegate, then randomly assigned to a full-node initial processor weighted by historical reputation. The assigned node acknowledges, processes, broadcasts the results which are validated by the rest of the network.
IoT devices are constrained by their processing, memory, and bandwidth limitations. Instead of making them blind puppets of full nodes, Taraxa has created the first practical trustless light node to make devices fully independent and autonomous in their trading decisions.

Upcoming
Constellation
The Constellation protocol implements a horizontally scalable blockchain architecture known as Extended Trust Chain with a peer to peer layer known as a gossip protocol that can be deployed on a mobile device. Constellation approaches smart contracts with a microservice architecture allowing for highly available services to be chained and composed into distributed applications with just an understanding of each microservice’s SLA (service level agreement) and/or type signature. This architecture ensures high transaction throughput, allowing for consumer grade distributed applications to be built on Constellation.

Zwoop
Using AI and blockchain, Zwoop’s unique find engine helps shoppers find the products they want from any website, at the best available price with a single click checkout. Shoppers will be able to pay for products using cryptocurrency and ZWP tokens.
Upcoming
SISHUB
The SISHUB project is developing an anonymous messenger and a decentralized system for sharing data through the utilization blockchain technologies. Does Not Log IP Address. Only complex identifiers and tunnels for data transfer will be used, which will change every 10 minutes. Absence of information collection, control over users and collection of geodata. SISHUB uses triple encryption of its own design, based on AES CBC, DSA, HMAC, when most use Curve25519, RSA 2048. All data is hashed using the SHA-2 protocol (64-bit architecture).
Upcoming
Nordcoin Mining
Cryptocurrencies, smart contracts and other blockchain technologies are experiencing a rapid surge in popularity. With a major share of the blockchain infrastructure today dependent on consensus protocols based on proof-of-work (PoW), an efficient and intelligent crypto-mining operation is well positioned to take advantage of the ongoing expansion. NordCoin Mining OÜ is based in the IT-friendly Estonia with operations foreseen across the Nordics. The Mobile Mining Container (MMC) technology developed by NordCoin is a self-sufficientself-contained, remote controlled crypto-mining solution designed to overcome the three most significant variables affecting the profitability of crypto-mining: effective hash rate, cost of energy, and cost of space. In total, 30 MMC's will be activated, with an estimated net profit of $45,000 worth of crypto per month per container.
Upcoming
POWERCHAIN
Powerchain network is a new DAG based platform allows blockless security and high speed transactions without mining. Powerchain is preparing 4 products for users.Powerstack wallet,Powerpay and its payment tool Powercard and Powerexchange. Powerstack, the highly anticipated mobile wallet for Powerchain and its digital asset $PCX. Powerstack is launched on Beta on Android. Powerstack V1.0 release for Android and IOS will be rolled out with additional features added in the near future. PowerPay, the first fast and convenient, ready to use crypto debit card, which can be used for everyday purchases anytime, anywhere. Powerchain will come with its very own physical card that can be used at ATMs. Transactions will only work with your own pincode, so even if you lose your card, no worries, no one else wil be able to use your Powerpay card. Powerchain Network is studying on integrating Powerstack wallet to Powerpay that allows owner to send PCX coins from wallet to Powerpay credit card. Powerchain announces the plans to develop our own Asset Exchange as mentioned on roadmap, POWEREXCHANGE. This strategic decision will further grow Powerchain coin position in the cryptocurrency market with larger scale and volume; allowing sustainability by continues funding and organic growth; while rewarding the community with profit sharing also promotes giving back to the community members by ensuring that 70% of the exchange’s revenue goes back to holders of PCX tokens.
