There are already a number of blockchain solutions on the market now but one that you might have probably not heard of is Aeternity, and it is here to stay too. When this new blockchain first showed up and started making waves in announcements and press releases, it looked like just another one of those coins and blockchains that tried and strived but couldn't stand the test of time. Since there has not been a slowdown in the momentum at which this blockchain is being developed, so much that it is being let out in something of a beta stage now, it is worth a review. 

WHAT IS AETERNITY?

The Aeternity Project is one which was started by founder Yanislav Malahov, and this platform makes a lot of bold claims. One of the main selling points behind this project is the creation of a platform that would enable for both safe- and secure transactions in the real world via a system of smart contracts. It has also made the claim of being highly scalable, a promise which it is said to have achieved by using Turing state channels. This would make it way easier to analyze the smart contracts and also, keep the security of the platform top notch. 

HOW DOES AETERNITY WORK?

Well, if you have been conversant with blockchain processes before now, what Aeternity does is not really rocket science when compared to that. Although it has it's own edge, it still does build on the existing infrastructure of the blockchain market. on the Aeternity platform, the transactions are made with specialized tokens which are called alllaeons" (and denoted as AE). They also serve as the basis of any application which is implemented on the overall platform. The Aeternity platform would be managed by accounts which not only have a balance to it but an associated address. On top of that would be super-imposed an alias — a form of naming system to identify each and every account. 

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?

Okay, we have been telling you how this looks like the basic blockchain programme, but not what makes it different. It'is not enough to want to launch a new project if it won't stand out from the rest, and Aeternity does this well too. For one, the smart contracts can only exist inside of the chain state channels, ensuring that the code of contract is enforced by the blockchain even when a disagreement arises. Likewise, there is a form of unique governance in play which ensures that miners can vote alongside value-holders when important decisions are to be made. 

"Like many other blockchain services, there is the issue of privacy, and Aeternity takes the game a step further for those that really want to stay anonymous at all costs.

Security has not been traded for anything and the developers hope their relatively low costs would be enough incentive to get people to do business with them instead." 

CONCLUSION

This is a new venture and we always want to look out for things to stand the test of time first before we delve in. Aeternity has been around for a while (although relatively little time when compared to other blockchain services) but still, that doesn't diminish the fact that it is making an identity for itself in the market. For now, we can just wait and see where the takes their A-game to the network of blockchain solutions on the market. 

Taas is a collective investment where token is reserved for growth. The channeling back of a given portion of funds for reinvestment boosts growth of the token. The tokenized system is a designed model to curb insecurity and technical barriers. 

Please keep scrolling down and discover the mystery behind TaaS and how it works. 

Today am not ready to beat around the bush. If you are reading this article right now, allow me expose the TaaS {Token-as-a-service}; a transparent business model designed by the Bitcoin group targeting investors of block chain space. 

TaaS-a tokenized close end fund invented to minimize challenges transparency vs technical obstacles in investing in block chain space! 

What is the blockchain?

A transparent and verifiable investment technical model. The collective distributions of database via a transparent system shared by the business partners regulate and verify the recorded information which is articulated within the database. 

Why TaaS?

The new business model is designed and promoted towards many reasons to achieve a certain targeted business spot. The tokenized model is generated to iron the technical barriers vs transparency. 

Taas creates more security for business investments and transaction within the technical system. The system of bitcoin is still a stub system with numerous loopholes hence the creation of this model protects us from exposure to insecurity. 

Profitable Reasons for Creation of Taas Model?

• Inactive regulated market; the bitcoin market is gradually reaching out to every corner of the globe hence the market regulation of the bitcoin mining is gradual in nature. 
• Inadequate investments tools; mining of the bitcoin is generated by online tools designed within a business structure merged with parental tools of business model. 
• Technical huddles; a growing system with booming investments attraction is prone to technical errors since it is still slowly developing. 
• Absence of the market knowledge; the bitcoin investors and associates slowly absorbs the market knowledge of the bitcoin investment. 

How does TaaS works?

• 25% channeled back to investment; the close end fund model operates within a business structure where 25% of the returns are reinvested back to the black chain space for growth of token. 
• Limited to Block chain market; the close end fund is modified and verified with only block chain markets where transparency is highly valued within partnership. 
• 50% quarterly profit sharing; to the shareholders, they are awarded the quarterly profit distribution of 50% as return out of the block chain investment. 
• Reserved fund; around 10% to 30% of portfolio is hedged in bitcoin since the close end fund is a model where shares are limited to internal market. 
• Trusted Transactions; the platforms of trusted transactions are promoted and limited to specific niches such as Bittrex, Kraken, or Poloniex. 

Final remarks

To cut the long story short, let me summarize it up by saying that, TaaS is launched with an eye to watch over technical huddles vs transparency. The close end fund is targeting the block chain market where trusted members transact and share profit via transparent and verifiable system since, the collective distribution of database is open to all partners.

The European Union's executive branch is establishing an "observatory" focused on blockchain as part of a wider pilot project.

Unveiled earlier this week, the initiative, according to the European Commission, seeks to to "gather opinions and to voice concerns around Blockchain and DLT". The Commission plans to solicit proposals from possible partners during the second quarter of this year.

Late last month, the Commission revealed that it would seek to improve its institutional knowledge through the pilot, operating in tandem with a task force created by the European Parliament last year.

The announcement includes some new details about the pilot, including its two-year duration and its €500k budget. And while the scope of the project centers primarily on education, there do appear to be some practical elements, including a plan to "build and animate a platform for the European blockchain community".

Ultimately, the pilot could lead to new policies in the EU centered around blockchain.

As the Commission explained:

"The purpose will be to inform and assist the European Commission in understanding what role – if any - European public authorities should play to encourage the development and up-take of these technologies and to formulate related policy recommendations."

Whether any of the tests translate into actual applications of the tech by the Commission remains to be seen.

However, according to the announcement, the body said it wants "explore possible use cases with a value added at EU level" – indicating that such approaches are possible.

With a formal language that nevertheless has clear semantics and automatically identified execution parameters which can be passed into standardized code, ease of use is improved and lawyers can find themselves able to draw up contracts in a natural and simple way without using the more traditional legal form of language.

Speed and Reliability

BitCAD improves the speed and reliability of transactions, with the time taken from making a decision to the signing of the smart contract being cut down to under a minute. Users can also determine their own commission size which will affect the execution speed of the transaction. Reliability is also guaranteed since all significant distribution and storage is based on the existing tried and tested Blockchain technology.

Smart Oracles

The Smart Oracle is an easy yet flexible way of implementing Smart Contracts, encoding laws, business logic and other pre-agreed rules. In this system, it is possible to write rules in a range of programming languages with contracts being able to interact with all services that are able to accept commands that are signed cryptographically.

Dispute Resolution

The 3rd stage dispute resolution process which is automated and consists of story and electronic based arbitration or an impartial competent individual who has been specifically hired to resolve any complaint with regard to BitCAD's actions, decisions or management.

As part of a bid to preserve a historic park, a city in Japan is reportedly raising donations in bitcoin.

The city of Hirosaki, according to a report from national public broadcaster NHK, is collecting funds to maintain more than 2,000 cherry blossom trees, as well as a centuries-old castle.

Supporting the measure is Tokyo-based bitcoin wallet and exchange service Coincheck. According to figures posted on its website, 0.5749 BTC has so far been raised (worth roughly $720 at press time) from 40 contributors.

While small, the amount would no doubt help chip away at the expenses of the park in Hirosaki, as NHK reports the municipality spends hundreds of thousands of dollars per year on upkeep.

The broadcaster also suggested the digital currency has caught the attention of local officials who see it as a possible vehicle for addressing issues related to fundraising more generally.

"Deputy mayor Noboru Yamamoto says the virtual currency may provide a solution to other Japanese local authorities at a time when most are struggling to raise funds," NHK reported.

Bitcoin has served as a donation tool for much of its history. Groups ranging from the Red Cross of America to Save the Children have turned the cryptocurrency into a way to collect contributions.

It is not surprising wealthy individuals take a keen interest in cryptocurrency. Mike Novogratz, a well-known billionaire, has certainly done so in the past. In fact, ten percent of his total net worth comes in the form of bitcoin and Ether. That is quite a substantial amount, although no one knows for sure how wealth Novogratz is, to begin with. It is good to see people openly talk about their cryptocurrency holdings, though.

Novogratz Is Keen On Cryptocurrency

At a recent Harvard Business School Club forum, Novogratz stated how 10% of his net worth is about bitcoin and Ether. That is quite a considerable amount, as he is a billionaire since 2008. He also stated how cryptocurrency is the best investment of his life to date. This sends a clear message to anyone looking to make future worthwhile investments. Traditional finance is no longer lucrative by any means, whereas cryptocurrencies have a ton of upside potential.

It is unclear when Novogratz made his initial bitcoin investments, though. Given the recent price increases of both Ethereum and bitcoin, it is possible he was an early investor or someone who came late to the party. To be more specific, he claims to have bought ETH when it was US$1. In either event, there are lots of profits to be made in the near future. Bitcoin has been on a substantial bull rush over the past 10 months and there is no sign of slowing down just yet.

Novogratz also mentioned how he feels a US$2,000 price per bitcoin is a realistic target. While that is not necessarily as optimistic as some bold claims, it is good to hear the acknowledgment for future gains. However, he was also quick to acknowledge we may find ourselves in a bitcoin bubble in the near future. Diversifying investment portfolios remains the number one priority. That also means investors should buy different digital currencies. Not putting all eggs in the same basket is a viable trading and investment strategy, that much is certain.

It is evident cryptocurrencies are catching on as of right now. Every investor wants to be a part of the next bit thing. While that "big thing' may not necessarily be bitcoin or Ether, both assets have a lot of margin for future profits. Digital assets are all of the hype right now, and cryptocurrencies have their role to play in this regard. However, the chance of getting caught up in a bubble are very real, to say the least. Diversification remains critical, even in the world of Bitcoin and Ether.

VOISE will become a decentralized music streaming platform which will be developed using the blockchain technology and a personalized token based on the smart contract ecosystem of Ethereum. VOISE allows music streaming and downloading to it's users. This platform serves beneficial to both the starting artistes and the VOISE fams. Music and entertainment are a dynamic industry and we see that opportunities for the potential and starting artistes to get noticed are not that simple. Here, with Voise, this creative community can make money from their masterpieces. On the other hand, the funds received at the developers' end are used for the development of the Ethereum blockchain and making efforts to make the platform getting better and increase the number of users.

Voisiums [VSM] are the default currency of the VOISE platform, which are generally supposed to be used to purchase content. The platform is constructed on the foundation of Ethereum's smart contract technology and each user is free to stock up their earned tokens in the wallet of his own choice or the VOISE platform. The users are free to trade these tokens as any other cryptocurrencies.

Considering the current model, the platform works as a wallet, where the users get a choice to transfer their money to hasten up the process of the purchase transactions.

VOISE has issued a detailed roadmap for launching the platform in the whitepaper issued by their team. Having reviewed the roadmap, the following phases will be launched from time to time starting from Q3-Q4 2017 and the roadmap is perceived to complete the development around Q4 2018.

• The Alpha (a)

The alpha phase is the initial stage of the VOISE platform where the cryptocurrency users are targeted to help build the finest decentralized music platform.

• The Beta ([3)

The beta phase comprises of diverse methods of creating awareness, that endeavor to unlock the VOISE platform to users who are new to this type of technology.

• The Gamma (y)

The gamma phase intends to be launched at a large scale inviting eminent dignitaries in the music and entertainment community along with the potential financiers interested in investing into the platform to create a great music experience for the community. During this phase, steps shall be taken to make use of appropriate methodology to support the automatic piracy detection system.

The major challenge for making the VOISE platform a great success and beneficial for the entire community will be creating specific awareness about this technology. The community needs to be explained on the benefits in terms of making money and achieving popularity for their talents. In order to do so, VOISE plan to conduct an ICO.

The Ethereum-based platform tokens will be disseminated to investors in this phase. According to the available data shared, there is a total of one hundred million Vosiums, of which ninety two million will be sold to investors during the ICO. Everyone investor will receive one hundred and sixty VSM tokens per Ether invested. The remaining eight million tokens will be used for advertising and the VOISE team.
