Thus far
Lode (
https://lode.one) is the most successful at the current time. It seems to have the most marketing behind it, and is the most developed (as far as I know) among the projects utilizing the platform, a use case that has clearly drawn interest and following, and a ready user base. There's also
Aibb (

This is really great to see how Syscoin developed from a marketplace to a full-scale platform for developers to build on.
All these projects mentioned above look really good and professional. Maybe I have some problems with understanding the AiBB project but the rest is really cool.
Wish I were more familiar with Aibb as well. Some others in our community are. Maybe they can chime-in. I know of it as an AI-driven trading advisor dapp that operates on its own token economy. Been preoccupied with other things and haven't dug into it in a serious enough way to comment further.
New ZDAG throughput layer, the token platform, trustless interoperability, enterprise services (like marketplace and document signing) which use offchain aggregation with onchain record-of-state and Ethereum smart-contracts, all based on a streamlined blockchain - that is the way forward for Syscoin's long term relevance...
I have some problems understanding this ZDAG layer and would be great to read some more explanations.
Great to see such an extended development ongoing and I am happy that I am not understand something because it means that Syscoin is really advanced technology.
So, Sysocin is already built on DAG like Byteball? Or is ZDAG something else? Is this already implemented?
Can you please point me to some materials about how exactly Syscoin is now built? Because the changes are so significant that I don't understand how it works actually?
Yes, ZDAG was implemented with Syscoin 3 back in Q2/Q3 2018. It has undergone further enhancement since then (parallel sig verification, more efficient topo algo, etc). It is live on the Syscoin 4 network, and every Syscoin Platform Token utilizes it at present. Syscoin is still a SHA256 consensus blockchain and remains Bitcoin-compliant in that it remains up-to-date w/ Bitcoin Core. ZDAG is a separate consensus layer (global consensus) that precedes SHA256 PoW and offers much higher throughput in a decentralized way, with probabalistic security and a means of enabling minimal security trade-off and also gives clients/merchants the ability to determine what they consider their own proper degree of trade-off for security vs speed.
Here's some ZDAG material, assuming you've read the summarized explanation of ZDAG's benefits in post #3449 above (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1466445.msg52781035#msg52781035). If you haven't, do that first because it explains how, in effect, ZDAG differs from Byteball, IOTA, etc, and its advantages over typical DAG.
An excellent tech-oriented article on ZDAG by Michiel Mulders. Also explains differences between typical DAG & ZDAG.
