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.

REPU
The REPU system (abbreviated from English – "reputation") is a revolutionary project that allows you to completely rethink the way social networks are perceived. REPU is a rating and feedback system based on decentralized blockchain technology. Technology allows you to completely replace the system of “likes” with the rating - both for users and for companies. The rating, subsequently, can be used as an assessment tool in various areas of the individual’s life - starting with professional skills, financial stability, and ending with all possible aspects of behavior and interaction with the public.

UNIMOON
“You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. You can’t start with the technology and try to figure out where can I sell it.” -Steve Jobs UNIMOON is tokenizing on Polygon Matic. We are building a layer 1 solution building on substrate and auction for a Polkadot parachain. We will be the first interoperable decentralized social media network partnering with Storj for our decentralized cloud data storage needs. Enabling users to have full ownership and control of their personal information where it is displayed and how it is displayed utilizing blockchain technology for storage of key information. UNIMOON is bridging the gap between web2.0 to web3.0 solving the greatest issue of adoption for blockchain technology in the simplest way possible starting with the user experience.

Adrealm
Adrealm aims to rebuild the digital advertising ecosystem and cultivate a self-sustaining open ecosystem for all participants to achieve advertising efficiency. Built on ERC-20 standard of the Ethereum platform, Adrealm connects advertisers, service providers, content publishers, developers etc on its decentralized public ledger ensuring privacy and no third-party management of data. Thanks to its three-tier architecture made of an on-chain layer, off-chain layer, and a service layer, speed and efficiency can be guaranteed and the industry pain-points such as fraud, low-quality ads, and data leakage can be overcome. Adrealm relies on a particular consensus mechanism called Proof of Valid Traffic (PoVT) that makes high-quality ads and traffic the fundamental criteria for the operational success of transactions.
