Scalability Issues 

Storage Issues


1.1.1) Bitcoin: BTC - Blockchain-based tech - POW - consumes a lot of energy - 

Cons:- not sustainable.

As it has slow TPS, in its current state cannot act as a medium of exchange. you cant wait for 60 mins for the transaction to settle to buy a coffee


https://datafloq.com/read/why-bitcoin-will-fail-what-will-come-next/3691#:~:text=Low%20number%20of%20transactions%20per,would%20switch%20to%20clean%20energy.

The same article on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBZ-KxjTS1I


The above article is based on assumption that Bitcoin is a medium of exchange(That was the original Idea) and not a store of value.

As a medium of exchange Bitcoin will not survive but as a store of value?

A transaction fee is 7 USD per transaction as of Dec 2020 - thus not sustainable as a medium of exchange and not practical for microtransactions.

Total Supply 10 Million initially but voters voted on chain with 86% majority to increase the supply to 1 billion.

No Capped max supply, its 10% inflationary

Staking/Bonding/Fee/On Chain Governance is deflationary.

Parachain auction in Q1 of 2021

hey are a next-generation blockchain protocol that unites an entire network of purpose-built blockchains, allowing them to operate seamlessly together at scale. Basically, it's a multi-chain framework platform that is designed to offer interoperability and scalability solutions for those blockchains that are built on it.


  • Interoperability and scale-able
  • Network of block chains, sharded block chains
  • Governance Inbuilt On-Chain


Polkadot is a sharded blockchain that is broken into a number of other Parachains. - The Relay Chain: This is the heart of the polkadot network which is responsible for security and the cross shard interoperabiltiy. - The Parachains: These are the sovereign blockchains in the network that will have their own token and will be optimised fro their own use cases. - The Bridges: These are special blockchains that will allow the Parachains in the Polkadot ecosystem to communicate with external networks (Bitcoin, Ethereum etc) Sharded blockchains have immense value when it comes to scalability. This all comes down to the concept of parallel execution and transactions.

Polkdot Consensus On the polkadot network, we have 4 distinct roles that manage the state of the blockchain. These are the Validators, the Collators, the Nominators and the Fisherman. Nominators are basically tasked with selecting the validators on the network. They will have to stake DOT in order to be a nominator. Validators are the nodes that secure the relay chain. This is done by staking the DOT. Collators maintain the transactional state in the individual shards and then the fisherman are tasked with reporting bad behaviour to the validators. In terms of the consensus mechanism, Polkadot have a unique mechanism that is called GRANDPA. It's a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.

Some Projects on Polkadot ecosystem

Kusama (KSM)

Phallan Network (PHA)

SORA XOR

ChainX PCX

RING

ChainLink 


1.3) ----------------------DAG based Framework/Solutions------------

Scale-able 

DAG gets faster when more transactions happen or its just more applicable to IOTA 

Storage : Currently Block chain is of around 150GB of size in Late 2017, and full chain is required to add new transactions to the chain, where as DAGs are light weight.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.3.1) Hydra Hash graph : - POS :  DAG based DLT tech - 10000+ TPS ; regulation framework supported; EFTPOS using this framework, DLT which is Centralized but has governance council with all big techs involved that you can think off.


1.3.2) IOTA : POS . Internet of Things. DAG based Open source ledger(DLT )  called Tangled(Centralized by Cooh but will be decentralized in future by replacing cooh with codecide ), which is decentralized, will always remain fee less but instead paying buy providing there computing power. Its order less, good for performance, It doesn't care about the order of transaction which could be good thing or bad thing depending on use case.(Confirm this understanding)

Multi Transaction.(Transactions could be clubbed in 1 single transactions )

 2 Billion supply - fixed supply.Numerous partner, with govt. wolkswagon, MSoft , Bosh ,Fujitsu, Accenture.  Issues : HashCollision, some hack. Unlimited Number of transactions

Applications are IOT , smart city sensor, connected cars.


1.4) -----------------Layer 2 scaling solutions----------------------

As ETH gets expensive and slow, layer 2 solutions are to rescue


1.4.1) Matic now Polygon : MTC

Max Supply of 10 Billion : 

Based on white paper written by vatalik on scalling issues.

Funded by Binance Launchpad

May 2020 Mainet live.

POS

Its Blockchain agnostic and can work on any blockchain 

Tindermint consensus algo same as cosmos

achieve up 7K to 10K  tps on a single side chain , use more chains for horizontal scaling to upto million of tps.

1 million transactions cost just 1 dollar in fee.

dagger is an app built on matic which allows notifications to be sent and have various use cases.

Working with Decentraland. 

Maker DAI token is the first stable coin on Matic network

Circle's USDC stable coins also on their network

Chain link price feed on Matic

Aavegotchi an game built by AAVE is being built on Matic


1.4.2) Loopring : LRC

Makes building Dex easier.

released in 2017

less than a cent in order execute a trade.

Partnered with Chain link

zkRoll(Zero Knowledge roolup) up :can bundle upto 4K transactions 


2) ***************Various DAPPS*************

 Blockchain egnostic DAPPS 

2.1) Litentry : LIT - Digital Identity dID's

Built on substrate, thus is natively compatible with Polkadot

Cross chain identity management .

very useful for DeFi for lending.

5% inflation rate. 



DAPPS on Etherium Network


2.2) ----------Oracle solutions DAPPS

Oracle solutions help BlockChains to interact with outside world.

2.2.1) ChainLink : Link is #1 Oracle solution so far,Decentralized , Built On Ether


2.2.2) Band Protocol : Band is built on Cosmos, 100Mill Band Max

2.2.3) Graph : GRT -  Decentralized Data Indexing protocol for Etherium. 10 Billion Supply 

Inflation Rate of 3% pa.

1% of fee earned is burnt, withdrawal tax is also burnt.

Depending in adoption and amount of queries on the network this may become a deflationary coin 

Its called Google of Block Chain.

For any decentralized application to work it needs 

On-Chain data

Off- Chain Data - like price feed from decentralized Chain Link

Data Storage - like decentralized file storage solutions like File Coin and Sia Coin and storj

Currently all the data required by dApp are stored/persisted on Chain and is not using any decentralized data storage protocols.

It has sub graphs per dApp on etherium Block Chain

already in use by UniSwap,Synthatix,Decentraland. balancer

3K subgraphs so far in Dec 2020 and is process in .5 billion queries per day.

eventually will expand to other block chains.

Indexer stakes minimum ~100K per subgraph



2.3)-----------DeFi DAPPS


2.3.1) KAVA : Built on COSMOS , 

DeFi Platform, Decentralized, USDX pegged to dollar.

Kava is a cross-chain DeFi platform which offers stablecoins and lending services to the holders of major cryptocurrencies. In a nutshell, Kava is all about opening up access to liquidity for various cryptocurrencies and doing that in a decentralized way.


Yes, Maker and Compound do a similar sort of thing on Ethereum. However, Kava is looking to extend that DeFi goodness to non-ERC-20/ETH assets and bring that to other blockchains.

Maker can only accept ETH or any ERC 20 token but nothig outside of it as it lacks  Etherium lacks interoperability


💧 How To Get That Liquidity? 💧


Simply send your crypto collateral to Kava’s platform. It will then be escrowed in a smart contract and USDX stablecoins will be minted and can be used for anything. These are over-collateralized loans.



2.3.2) LEND:AAVE


2.4) Other Apps

2.4.1) STEEM : Steem a Blogging app


2.4.2) SHA : Built on VeChain block chain : 8.5 Billion Supply : 3.5 Billion Staked.

Digital Asset inheritance and safe keeping solution.

It is deflationary

Where would the demand come from ?

You need 10K SHA tokens to make an Inheritance Plan on SHA network 

Working on making SHA as multi chain ... will we building on Etherium Blockchain as well.

APPS on Polkadot Network


kusama - KSM

Acala - Coin not out yet - DeFi 

Acala Network is the financial hub of Polkadot and its research focuses on decentralized finance protocol and mechanism design, parachain economic modelling and governance. By providing key financial primitives including decentralized stablecoin, staking derivatives and DeX, Acala Network powers cross-blockchain open finance (DeFi) applications on Polkadot and beyond. The project aims to issue Acala Dollar (aUSD) which is a decentralized stablecoin that allows users to send and receive USD across any blockchains connected to the Polkadot network. The project also designs to release staked assets (DOTs) as fungible & liquid assets (L-DOTs), extracting the derivative value of staked assets to fuel DeFi without sacrificing the security of the whole network. Acala Network is secured under Polkadot's shared security model, ensuring high resilience and forkless upgradability.

The decentralized network is governed entirely by Acala Network Token (ACA) holders to achieve a transparent future: a future based on more truth and less trust.


Phala Network (PHA) - Total supply 1,000,000,000

Phala Network is a privacy-preserving protocol for data-protection and blockchain smart contracts. Phala.Network guarantees the reliable execution of smart contracts while keeping the data secret. Confidential contracts run in miner nodes with Trusted Computing capable hardware, which guarantees the secrecy of the contract data.
