Create and sign 4 orders, signed off-chain with an Ethereum wallet: • apporder signed by the developer • (datasetorder signed by the dataset provider) • workerpoolorder signed by a worker pool scheduler • requestorder signed by a requester 2. Orders are matched on-chain: poco.matchOrders() (Check signatures, parameters, balances, …) 3. PoCo seals a deal & workers start computing 4. Workers send result hash back to PoCo 5. PoCo compares results, manages reputation, triggers payments.
but with “fake money” • Spam: only small amounts of coins can be obtained at a time • Proof-of-Authority: the chain is only for testing, not safe for production! • Get GETH for free here: https://faucet.goerli.mudit.blog/ or there: https://goerli-faucet.slock.it/ • Get GRLC here: https://faucet.iex.ec/goerli
Phase 2 Phase 3 Kick-off seminar (group) 1 day at the beginning of each phase Kick-off mentoring (each project) 1 day at the beginning of each phase Update meetings 1 hour twice a month Number of support tickets 14 26 1 Participants will receive premium support and close mentorship at all stage of their project.
paper about your idea • Create web page and an app • Exchange your new crypto with something • IPO • An initial public offering (IPO) refers to the process of offering shares of a private corporation to the public in a new stock issuance • Public share issuance allows a company to raise capital from public investors. The transition from a private to a public company can be an important time for private investors to fully realize gains from their investment as it typically includes share premiums for current private investors.
Cryptocurrencies • ETH, EDU, ONT, etc. • Partially owned by blockchain creators • Used for compensating blockchain contributors • Others sold • Mandatory for using distributed apps in the blockchain ecosystem • Initial Public Offering • Businesses hold some of the utility tokens and release the rest for the network functionality • They make a profit when the value of the utility token rises 26
for other business for managing their blockchain system • In this ecosystem, the companies can experiment, test and do research • Microsoft(Azure), Amazon(AWS), IBM(BlueMix), etc. offer blockchain as a service(BaaS) • The end users don’t have to worry about how blockchain works and don’t need to set it up before working on it • BaaS also eradicates the need for hardware, which in turn, enables startups, companies or organizations to focus on their development cycle 27
for blockchain development • Hyperledger is one of those examples which provides tools, frameworks, and guidelines for blockchain development. The key here is rapid development • Other examples include Tendermint and EthCore 28
for big corporates • The easiest way to do so is to buy a blockchain solution and integrate it into their system • This gives rise to the blockchain companies that create a solution and then sell them to bigger companies • Providing blockchain technology to other organizations can be extremely profitable • reasonable payment upfront, and • support fees after implementation 29
associated with the blockchain use itself • These type of blockchain business model applies to both blockchain solution such as Ethereum or dApps that charge a small amount to the user for different activities on the network • E.g., Ethereum network charges developers ETH for making their dApp live. The same is valid for NEO which has a fee for dApp publication 30
leading expert development companies to startups or other businesses to get them ready with blockchain • E.g., a business would want someone to build their custom blockchain project. In that case, they can hire companies such as Deloitte, IBM or others to complete the project for them 31
exchange of services over a blockchain ecosystem • Blockchain ensures the accountability of the transaction • This BM can be monetized through tokens, BaaS or transaction fees 32
ONG utility tokens • Ontology decouples ONT and ONG to alleviate risk of turbulent fluctuations of the native “asset” value on the gas fee (similar to shadow cost of resources) • ONT is used for staking, while ONG is paid to miners/stakers and storage nodes • ONG is exchanged in transactions • Holding ONT releases ONG periodically • ONG unbound per block and shared among stakers according to ONT shares • 18 years process to distribute 1,000,000,000 ONG 34
GAS tokens, similarly to Ontology • NEO represents management rights, i.e., voting for bookkeeping, NEO network parameter changes, and so on • NEO network charges GAS for storage of tokens and smart contracts for economic incentives and consolidated use of resources • 100 million NEO, minimum unit 1 • 100 million GAS, minimum unit 0.00000001 • NEO’s 100 million tokens is divided into two portions: • 50 million tokens distributed proportionally to supporters of NEO during the crowdfunding • 50 million NEO managed by the NEO Council to support NEO’s long-term development, operation 35
by EU • Tokenomics – P2P services exchange platform (ICO) • Token release is linked to consensus building, and to sustainable development • Blockchain as a service and development platform • Network fees for using the network
Establishing new markets and improving existing ones • Customer development • Ensuring sufficient market opportunity and demand (business model canvas) • Protocol architecture • How we build it, so that we meet market demands • Distribution • How the right people get these token and start using them Thickness (critical mass) Congestion (discoverability) Safety (incentive compatibility)
up in the right hands, and that an offering is equitable to the market and its participants Sustain economic activity of expected behaviors Regulation? Token sale? To whom? Token supply? Fixed? Variable? Inflation? Remainder funds allocation? Governance / accountability
