THELOGICALINDIAN - When Satoshi Nakamoto advised the aboriginal cryptocurrency he acceptable did not brainstorm how assorted the crypto ecosystem would become with abounding applications from voting to banknote to acute affairs and f advance abounding altered manifestations there are over 1000 cryptocurrencies out there As with every abstruse anarchy the industry is accretion and experimenting with possibilities for revenue
One of the best axiological aspects of blockchain technology is that it is accompanying involves a currency, a array of arrangement protocol, a base for authoritative apps, and a database. This leaves a lot of parallels to be fabricated with added technologies. If we attending at how new technologies accept developed in the past, some patterns emerge. Agreement wars, belvedere wars, and middlemen affinity solutions all characterize the periods of about-face (the addition of the internet, billow computing, and so on). And in agitated altitude such as these, businesslike solutions add a lot of amount to users and developers gluttonous to accomplish in a disconnected landscape.
Several high-profile developments in the cryptosphere over the accomplished year accept addressed this charge for added interoperability and usability. The Bitcoin Lightning Network and Ethereum Raiden Network, diminutive swaps, and alike the Bitcoin angle all seek to abode the charge for a business and consumer-friendly landscape.
But there is a axiological affinity affair amid one of the capital advances in blockchain technology; the admeasurement of block-based and blockless-based chains. This agency that some cryptocurrencies, like IOTA, are difficult to articulation and transact on a chain-level with accepted blockchain-based cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
Investor and developer absorption is axis appear analytic these affinity issues. One such development is the HyperCash (shortened to Hcash) cryptocurrency and ecosystem actuality developed in Australia and Asia. It is aiming to abode the hard botheration of bridging heterogenous networks.
Tangles and blocks – apples and oranges
The accelerated analysis done into cryptocurrencies and blockchains has led to absorbing innovations. While aloof a few years ago Satoshi Nakamoto advised the advocate blockchain, we already accept another manifestations of the concept, best interestingly the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) schema, additionally referred to as a “tangle”.
While the capacity of the aberration amid tangles and blockchains is not need-to-know, the basal apriorism is that the awful able-bodied attributes of blockchains is ideal for industries like the allowance and banking sectors, but not as advantageous for beneath important affairs (like ability be bare for acute affairs or micropayments). As blockchain adviser Kevin Hobbs explained:
“The coil or Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) alternation about agency a accumulating of nodes or vertices, while acceptance connectivity amid nodes but with no annular edgings. In added words, you cannot alpha at one acme and eventually bend aback to that aforementioned acme via a arrangement of edges (connections).
A blockchain can be about authentic as a balance of affairs aggregate by accommodating nodes in the arrangement operating beneath some affectionate of accord protocol.
While blockchain technology will advice automate contracts, the allowance industry, accounting, banking and others, there are critics that say such a able-bodied framework is not ideal for machine-to-machine payments on a abate scale.”
So it bright that several options are accessible to blockchain developers. But what is additionally bright is that an era of interblockchain affairs is on the way.
The alone botheration is that accustomed the differences in block-based and blockless-based (the DAG or coil schemas mentioned earlier) chains, flows of affairs and advice amid these altered schemas are acutely difficult if not impossible.
Transfer beyond chains
The access that Hcash accept taken is to accredit their cryptocurrency and basal technology to act as an agent and alteration of amount amid these types of ecosystem. As the aggregation said:
“Hcash is built-in to affected the accepted banned of absolute blockchains through its adeptness to articulation both block-based and blockless-based blockchain systems, enabling amount and advice to be announced amid altered blockchains.
By bridging the banned amid altered blockchains, accepting advice through encryption, Hcash brings alternating greater allowance for advance and opportunity.”
They do this by alms a sidechain to accommodating ecosystems, acceptation that amount and advice can be beatific from e.g. a DAG arrangement to a block-based arrangement via the Hcash protocol.
As able-bodied as this, the Hcash aggregation accept advised the cryptocurrency to be breakthrough resistant, awful secure, and to bottle anonymity.
One aboriginal appliance of Hcash’s potential is with the accompanying ENT acquittal system, advised by the Hcash aggregation to acquiesce admirers to added calmly and deeply collaborate with their admired entertainers. This is belvedere which according to Hcash already has 10 above entertainers active up will facilitate admirers purchasing appurtenances and alike IP, additionally enabling anyone to be an “idol” or “agent” in the system.
Use case for Hcash: The ball industry
This is one of the best accordant examples of how the Hcash appearance can be important in the ball industry. Consider how abounding artists are out there aggravating to affix with fans, in abounding altered regions. A belvedere that enables abounding types of transaction is absolute for such a situation.
ENT is the belvedere run on Hcash that allows added seamless and defended alternation amid entertainers and their fans. As declared by the Hcash team: “Due to the abiding advance of the Hcash activity and our connected abstruse innovations, added and added agenda bill projects are arising their tokens on the Hcash capital chain. South Korea’s acclaimed pop brilliant Kwon Ji Yong absitively to accompany ENT, the activity that uses Hcash. The Australian agenda acquittal activity Hyperpay will additionally be arising tokens in the Hcash ecosystem,”

The Hcash activity is a accord amid advisers in Monash University Australia, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Hong-Kong Polytechnic University. The activity has already acquired boundless acceptance beyond the Australian third-level apprenticeship system.
Given the actuality that they are alive on a very absolute problem, it is a acceptable assurance that the aggregation abaft Hcash accept a able analysis competence. Their CTO is speaking at the World Blockchain Summit at the end of October, and the activity has appear analysis to add to the blockchain community’s compassionate of abeyant solutions. They are added forth the way to barrage than abounding crypto projects, now in their third date of token sale.
