Weve started making bi-weekly progress updates to give investors an insight into current developments: 1. First report (Jan 14th 2018) 2. Second report (Jan 28th 2018)
Our new candy system (Azeroth) has officially launched, in order to sign up for the bounty system you will need an invitation code. For more information check our Reddit
ELF tokens are used to pay resource fees in the system, such as the deployment of smart contracts, operating and upgrading of systems (transaction fees, cross-chain data transfer fees). It also enables the community to vote on major decisions, such as electing mining nodes, introducing new features to the system and other major decisions.
Cosmos (CMC universe coin) is a continuation of ideas put forward by the multi-chain system, the Satoshi's PoW consensus algorithm replaced by Jae Know's Tendermint consensus algorithm. Tendermint, a Byzantine-fault-tolerant algorithm, is optimized for PBFT and requires only two rounds of voting to reach a consensus.
Essentially, it contains multiple blockchains (running in the zone) using separate instances of Tendermint, and a chain of hubs using de-trusted communication. Cross-link communication is limited to the transfer of digital assets, this cross-link communication can return data and path, such as sending the sender information of the transfer status.
Aelf's cross-link communication is not only capable of transferring digital assets, but also able to pass any other information. For example, aelfs sidechains can trigger contract execution on other sidechains.
In addition, Tendermint did not come up with a parallel processing model on a single chain, so a chain also has its own limitations. CMC performance is limited to a single machine, scalability will only be reflected when using multiple instances of tendermint.
Aelf has proposed that parallel processing on a single strand will dramatically increase the upper limit of single-strand processing capacity.
ELF VS EOS
Both EOS and aelf have proposed to use parallel processing to handle transactions, but the difference is that EOS only processes in parallel on the main chain, while aelf's parallel processing framework enables parallel processing on all side chains.
By doing this, parallel processing will be performed on both the backbone and the sidechains.
ELF VS ETH
Ethereum has no scalability, no isolation of resources, and the popularity of CryptoKitties, CryptoZombies and more games to come will block the transfer of the entire Ethereum network.
Aelf adopts the architecture of resource isolation to ensure that the surge of traffic on one chain will not affect the efficiency of any other chain.
