eCash (XEC) is a cryptocurrency that was previously known as Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCHA), which itself was a fork of Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). The project was rebranded to eCash in July 2021 with the goal of positioning it as an electronic cash system designed to be used for everyday transactions.

One of the main improvements eCash aims to achieve is significantly scaling transaction throughput, from 100 transactions per second to over 5 million. It also aims to reduce transaction finality times and establish a fork-free upgrade path for the protocol. To accomplish this, the eCash developers have laid out an ambitious roadmap that includes solutions like canonical transaction ordering, Schnorr Signatures, faster block propagation, and adaptive block sizes.

eCash follows a similar supply model to Bitcoin, with a total supply of 21 trillion XEC tokens. The project was led by Amaury Sechet, who was the lead developer of Bitcoin Cash and created the Bitcoin Cash ABC fork that became eCash. Sechet has cited the need to reduce the number of decimal places as part of the rebrand, arguing that more user-friendly whole number denominations will aid in the coin's adoption.

The eCash network uses a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Avalanche, which is distinct from the Avalanche blockchain. This PoS layer was added as an upgrade to the original proof-of-work (PoW) consensus of the Bitcoin Cash ABC network. The developers are also aiming for eCash to be Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible and integrate with the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that was created as a fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain in 2017. The fork occurred due to disagreements within the Bitcoin community over proposed changes to increase Bitcoin's block size, which would impact the network's scalability and transaction processing capabilities.

A group of Bitcoin developers, miners, and supporters who favored larger block sizes broke away to create Bitcoin Cash as a separate cryptocurrency. The key technical difference is that Bitcoin Cash has increased the block size limit from 1MB to 8MB, which allows it to process more transactions per second compared to Bitcoin.

When the Bitcoin Cash fork occurred, anyone who owned Bitcoin at the time automatically received an equal amount of the new Bitcoin Cash cryptocurrency. This essentially provided Bitcoin holders with a free airdrop of the new asset.

Since the split, Bitcoin Cash has been positioned as a more peer-to-peer, transaction-focused cryptocurrency compared to Bitcoin, which has increasingly been treated more as a digital store of value. Bitcoin Cash has faced ongoing debates and controversies within the cryptocurrency community regarding its legitimacy and direction.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is both a digital cryptocurrency and a payment network. Bitcoin Cash appeared in December 2017 as a result of Bitcoin's hard fork, with the goal of increasing the number of trades that can be processed.

Avalanche is a type of rapid flow of snow down a slope. Avalanches are a major winter hazard in snow-covered and mountainous regions, and can be classified into several types based on the nature of the snow flow, including slab avalanches, powder snow avalanches, wet snow avalanches, and ice avalanches. Avalanches can cause significant injuries and loss of life, and understanding the terrain, snowpack, and weather conditions that lead to avalanche formation is crucial for prevention and mitigation efforts.

Avalanche is also the name of a blockchain platform and cryptocurrency. The Avalanche blockchain was launched in 2020 and is designed to be a highly scalable, decentralized, and secure platform for building decentralized applications (dApps) and financial services. The native cryptocurrency of the Avalanche network is called AVAX.

The Avalanche network aims to offer fast transaction times, low fees, and compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, allowing developers to easily build and deploy decentralized apps on the Avalanche blockchain. AVAX is used for things like paying transaction fees, participating in the network's validation process, and accessing decentralized applications built on Avalanche.

The Avalanche network has seen significant growth and adoption since its launch, with a thriving ecosystem of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and other Web3 projects built on the platform.

Cosmos is a blockchain project that aims to solve some of the major challenges facing the blockchain industry. It markets itself as a solution to the "slow, expensive, unscalable and environmentally harmful" proof-of-work protocols used by cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Cosmos seeks to offer an ecosystem of interconnected blockchains that can communicate with each other, addressing the fragmentation in the blockchain space.

The project was first conceived in 2014 when Tendermint, a core contributor to Cosmos, was founded. A white paper for Cosmos was published in 2016, followed by a token sale in 2017. The ATOM token is used to secure the Cosmos Hub, the project's main blockchain, through a hybrid proof-of-stake algorithm. ATOMs also play a role in the network's governance.

A key focus for Cosmos is making blockchain technology more accessible to developers. It offers a modular framework and the Interblockchain Communication protocol to simplify the process of building decentralized applications. Scalability is also a priority, with the goal of enabling significantly more transactions per second compared to older blockchain networks.

The Cosmos network is structured in three layers - the application layer, the networking layer, and the consensus layer. This architecture is designed to facilitate communication between different blockchains within the Cosmos ecosystem. The project's long-term vision is to create a "Internet of Blockchains" where multiple chains can interact with each other seamlessly.

(ATOM) Is a cryptocurrency that powers the Cosmos network. Cosmos is an ecosystem of Blockchains that can scale and interoperate with each other.

FTX Token (FTT) is the native cryptocurrency of the FTX crypto derivatives trading platform, which launched in 2019. The FTT token was created to serve various functions within the FTX ecosystem.

One of the primary use cases of FTT is to provide discounts on trading fees on the FTX exchange. Users who hold FTT tokens can enjoy reduced trading fees and tighter spreads, with the potential for up to a 60% discount. This incentivizes users to hold and use the FTT token on the platform.

Additionally, FTT can be used as collateral for opening leveraged trading positions on FTX. This allows traders to access higher leverage without the need for additional margin. The FTT token also provides insurance protection, ensuring a net profit for traders in times of market volatility and preventing margin calls.

FTX regularly buys back and burns a portion of the FTT tokens, which are sourced from various revenue streams, including 33% of trading fees, 10% of the reserve fund, and 5% of other commissions. This token burn mechanism is designed to help maintain the value of FTT by reducing the overall supply.

The FTT token also grants various perks and benefits to its holders, such as the ability to participate in airdrops, access exclusive IEOs, and receive bonus votes. Users can stake their FTT tokens to further capitalize on these benefits, such as discounts and the opportunity to win NFTs.

The FTX platform was founded by Sam Bankman-Fried and Gary Wang, who have significant experience in the crypto industry. Bankman-Fried previously worked as a trader at Jane Street Capital, while Wang served as the chief technology officer at FTX.

However, it's important to note that the FTX exchange and the FTT token are currently undergoing bankruptcy proceedings, following the collapse of the FTX platform in November 2022. This means the FTT token may no longer have any practical use, and the future of the token is uncertain. Investors should exercise caution when considering any involvement with the FTT token or the FTX platform.

TRON (TRX) is a decentralized blockchain-based operating system created by the Tron Foundation and introduced to the market in 2017. The project was founded by Justin Sun, who currently holds the position of CEO. Initially, the TRX tokens were ERC-20 standard tokens deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. However, a year after their launch, the tokens were migrated to run on TRON's own independent network.

The primary objective of TRON is to empower content creators, who often receive a small fraction of the revenue generated from their work. TRON aims to enable these creators to connect directly with their audience, eliminating the need for intermediaries like YouTube, Facebook, or Apple. The platform's goal is to grant full ownership rights to the creators of digital content and provide them with greater rewards for their efforts.

The TRON software supports smart contracts, various blockchain systems, and decentralized applications (dApps). The cryptocurrency platform utilizes a transaction model akin to Bitcoin's UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) system. All transactions are recorded in a public ledger, allowing users to track the history of operations.

Chainlink is a blockchain-based decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts to securely access off-chain data feeds, events, and payment methods. It was founded in 2017 by Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis.

Chainlink is unique in that it allows the integration of off-chain data into smart contracts, which was not possible before. This has attracted many trusted data providers to the Chainlink network, who can sell access to their data directly to Chainlink users. Chainlink uses a decentralized network of node operators to power its oracle services, allowing users to participate and earn revenue by running the required data infrastructure.

One of the key features Chainlink is developing is LINK staking. This will introduce rewards and penalties to incentivize proper operation of the Chainlink network by node operators. LINK holders will be able to stake their tokens to trusted node operators, earning a yield from the network's fees and emissions. This crypto-economic security model aims to make the cost of attacking the Chainlink network's price oracle higher than any potential profits.

Chainlink has partnered with numerous blockchain projects and is powering critical oracle services for leading DeFi applications like Synthetix, Aave, and Compound. As a provider of secure and reliable off-chain data to smart contracts, Chainlink is positioned as a key infrastructure layer enabling the growth of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

(Chainlink) Is a blockchain abstraction layer that enables universally connected smart contracts. It blockchains to securely interact with external data feeds, events and payment methods, providing the critical off-chain information needed by complex smart contracts to become the dominant form of digital agreement.

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a distributed, open-source, and scalable naming system that operates on the Ethereum blockchain. Its primary function is to translate human-readable Ethereum addresses, such as "john.eth," into the machine-readable alphanumeric codes that are commonly used in wallets like MetaMask. This reverse conversion, associating metadata and machine-readable addresses with human-readable Ethereum addresses, is also possible.

The Ethereum Name Service aims to enhance the accessibility and user-friendliness of the Ethereum-based web, akin to how the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS) improves the overall usability of the internet for human users. Like DNS, ENS uses a hierarchical system of dot-separated domain names, with domain owners fully controlling their subdomains.

ENS initially operated within the Ethereum Foundation, but spun off as a separate organization in 2018. Its lead developer is Nick Johnson, a software engineer from New Zealand who previously worked at Google and the Ethereum Foundation. The ENS team consists of nine members, and its treasury is governed by a multi-signature root with representatives from various Ethereum-related organizations.

Maker (MKR) is the governance token of the MakerDAO and Maker Protocol, which are a decentralized organization and software platform respectively, both built on the Ethereum blockchain. The primary function of the Maker ecosystem is to allow users to issue and manage the DAI stablecoin. Conceived in 2015 and fully launched in 2017, Maker is one of the earliest projects in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, which aims to build decentralized financial products on top of smart contract-enabled blockchains like Ethereum.

MKR tokens act as a form of voting shares for the organization that oversees the DAI stablecoin. While MKR holders do not receive dividends, they do have voting rights over the development and changes to the Maker Protocol. This voting power is expected to increase the value of MKR tokens as the DAI stablecoin gains more adoption and success.

Some of the key aspects that MKR holders can vote on include adding new collateral asset types for minting DAI, amending the risk parameters of existing collateral types, changing the DAI Savings Rate, choosing the oracles that provide off-chain data to the Maker ecosystem, and approving upgrades to the Maker platform. This level of governance participation is a unique proposition of the Maker ecosystem.

(Maker) One of the earliest projects on decentralized finance (DeFi). It is the governance token of the "MakerDAO" and "Maker Protocol" — respectively a decentralized organization and a software platform, both based on the Ethereum blockchain — that allows users to issue and manage the DAI stablecoin.

Compound is a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol that allows users to earn interest on their cryptocurrencies by depositing them into various pools supported by the platform. When a user deposits tokens into a Compound protocol pool, they receive corresponding cTokens in exchange. These cTokens represent the user's proportional stake and ownership in the overall pool. The exchange rate of these cTokens to the underlying asset increases over time, allowing users to redeem them for more of the initial asset they deposited, thus earning interest.

On the borrowing side, users can take out secured loans from the Compound pools by depositing collateral. The maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio varies based on the collateral asset, but currently ranges from 50 to 75%. Borrowers must maintain a specific collateralization level, and if it falls below the maintenance threshold, the collateral will be sold to liquidators at a 5% discount.

Compound is unique in its community-driven governance model. Holders of the platform's native COMP token can propose changes to the protocol, debate them, and vote on their implementation, without direct involvement from the Compound team. This allows the community to have a direct say in the platform's development, such as choosing which cryptocurrencies to support, adjusting collateralization factors, and modifying the COMP token distribution.

The Compound protocol is secured through its smart contracts, which automatically handle the minting of cTokens, the enforcement of collateralization factors, and the liquidation of undercollateralized positions. This helps to ensure the safety and stability of the lending and borrowing activities on the platform.

Aave is an open-source and decentralized liquidity protocol that enables users to lend, borrow, and earn interest on their digital assets. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, Aave provides a robust and transparent platform for financial transactions in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

At the core of the Aave protocol are the liquidity pools, where users can deposit their cryptocurrencies to earn a yield on their holdings. These liquidity pools are then utilized by borrowers, who can take out loans using the supplied assets as collateral. Lenders earn interest on the assets they provide, while borrowers pay interest on the loans they take out.

One of the unique features of Aave is its implementation of "flash loans," which are uncollateralized loans that must be repaid within the same transaction. This innovative functionality enables users to engage in various DeFi strategies and arbitrage opportunities, leveraging large sums of capital for a short period of time.

Aave also offers borrowers the flexibility to choose between variable and fixed interest rates, allowing them to better manage their borrowing costs based on their financial needs and market conditions.

The Aave protocol is governed by the AAVE token, which grants token holders the ability to participate in the decision-making process and influence the future development of the platform. This decentralized governance model ensures that the protocol evolves in alignment with the community's interests and priorities.

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that serves as the original version of Ethereum, which was launched in 2015. Like Ethereum, Ethereum Classic allows developers to build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. However, the two networks have diverged in philosophy and development over time.

Ethereum Classic is based on the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm, which is considered the most secure consensus mechanism known to date. This makes Ethereum Classic a "sound money" cryptocurrency, as the cost to produce the currency is the same as the cost to produce the blocks, and it has a fixed monetary policy with a supply cap of 210,700,000 ETC.

Ethereum Classic's unique attributes also include its full replication across all nodes of the network, which enhances security, and its composability, where all applications enabled by programmability are inside the same system, making them equally secure and able to interact with each other in single complex transactions. The size and scale of Ethereum Classic, as the largest smart contracts blockchain that is proof-of-work and has a fixed monetary policy, also contribute to its security and robustness.

(Ethereum Classic) Is a hard fork of Ethereum (ETH) that launched in July 2016. Its main function is as a smart contract network, with the ability to host and support decentralized applications (DApps).

Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that aims to provide a more efficient and secure alternative to traditional cloud storage solutions. The platform was launched in 2017 after raising $205 million through an initial coin offering (ICO).

The core idea behind Filecoin is to create an incentivized, peer-to-peer network where users can store and retrieve data. Unlike centralized cloud storage providers, Filecoin is open-source and decentralized, allowing the community to govern the network. This decentralized approach is intended to improve the integrity and accessibility of stored data.

On the Filecoin network, there are three key participant groups: clients, storage miners, and retrieval miners. Clients pay storage miners to securely store their data, with transactions denominated in the native FIL token. Storage miners earn rewards by allocating unused hard drive space and verifying the integrity of stored data. Retrieval miners, on the other hand, facilitate the retrieval of stored data for clients.

Filecoin utilizes two novel consensus mechanisms - Proof-of-Replication (PoRep) and Proof-of-Spacetime (PoSt) - to ensure the reliability and verifiability of stored data. These mechanisms aim to address the limitations of traditional cloud storage, where centralized providers may be prone to censorship or data loss.

The FIL token powers the Filecoin ecosystem, serving as the medium of exchange for storage and retrieval services. Clients pay storage miners in FIL, while miners earn FIL rewards for their participation. The open and competitive nature of the Filecoin market allows for dynamic pricing of storage and retrieval services.

(Filecoin) A decentralized storage system that aims to “store humanity’s most important information. Filecoin is an open protocol and backed by a blockchain that records commitments made by the network’s participants, with transactions made using Filecoin (FIL).
