The LINK ecosystem refers to the cryptocurrency environment that shares the general-purpose coin LINK. Our goal is to build a token economy that can be used by anyone, conveniently and naturally as part of daily life.

Since its launch in 2011, LINE has grown into a global service used by millions around the world. Today, it’s more than a simple mobile messenger, having evolved into a smart portal that provides comprehensive solutions for all aspects of our users’ lives. It was the contributions of our users that drove the rapid growth of the LINE ecosystem. Now we want to take the idea of contribution-driven growth to the next level, rewarding users by sharing the added value of the LINE ecosystem with them. Through the launch of our blockchain and token economy, LINE is doing just that — optimizing how we share value and promote mutual growth as we continue to transform into a new digital era.

The LINE Token Economy is centered around a single token, our general-purpose coin LINK. This means that LINK is able to be used for a wide range of services, making it more valuable than a cryptoasset that is limited to a single service. A single-token economy can make the overall ecosystem more dynamic and stable, and because dApps contribute to the economy, they can grow with it. For the economy’s users, who participate in and add value to the ecosystem, their rewards have more usability and value, and they can use LINK for a great variety of services without the hassle of constantly going to a token exchange. In short, being a single-token economy makes LINK more valuable and useful.

Clarion aims to give everyone in the world the tools to broadcast their message to everyone who wants to hear their message without creating dependencies on centralized infrastructure. It will achieve this with a censorship resistant "friend to friend" network which will leverage the unused resources of your friends and family to distribute your content.

The ultimate goal is to provide the performance and reliability of a "centralized service" with the freedom and independence of a logically decentralized network. With the help of the Clarion community we can free our friends and family from the tyranny of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Amazon, Apple and Google and produce a social network free from manipulation and 3rd party dependence.

Clarion learns lessons from other projects, including RetroShare, Hive (previously SteemIt ), and Voice. RetroShare is far closer to the desired level of decentralization, but has a clunky interface that isn't viable on mobile. Meanwhile, blockchain based networks are "logically centralized" and require all full nodes to process all transactions. This is not suitable for home users at scale and creates dependencies on a small number of web portals.

One of the more successful decentralized protocols is IPFS and IPNS. These P2P protocols facilitate the publishing of location independent websites; however, they have a couple of drawbacks. Among these drawbacks are the need to keep your own node online in order to seed your content -- there is no free way to "push to IPFS". There is also a high latency to looking up content. Lastly, there is not really an opportunity for dynamic multi-user interaction.

Protocols like Zeronet provide an application framework to build dynamic websites which are loaded/shared over the BitTorrent protocol. My experience with Zeronet is that it doesn't work well on Mobile, it takes a long time to "sync" pages, and suffers from excessive spam or and moderation. At scale, a Zeronet application is just a logically centralized as a blockchain application.

The core of the Clarion OS is a friend-to-friend message propagation protocol that enables the following kinds of message flows between cryptographic identities:

asynchronous person to person (like email)
realtime person to person (video/chat)
one to many (like tweet/Facebook)
many to many (like an open chatroom / blockchain)

Utilizing Web Assembly plugins it should be possible to build many different kinds of applications on top of Clarion OS, including tokens and smart contracts. A key distinction between Clarion OS and prior blockchain platforms is that the base layer has no need to reach consensus on the "order" of user actions nor to interpret the meaning of transactions. If typical Ethereum and EOS smart contracts are considered "layer 1", then Clarion OS could be considered "layer 0".

Tezos is a new platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications.

The Tezos protocol offers a formal process through which stakeholders can efficiently govern the protocol and implement future innovations.

The Tezos blockchain was designed to facilitate formal verification, which helps secure smart contracts and avoid buggy code.

Tezos’ unique proof-of-stake consensus algorithm gives every stakeholder the opportunity to participate in the validation of transactions on the network and be rewarded by the protocol for doing so.

Dfinity is a blockchain-based cloud computing project. Its aim is to develop a decentralized "internet computer that will become the cloud 3.0.

The Internet was created by open protocols that combined thousands of independent organizations such as Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to create global connectivity. The Internet Computer will extend the Internet with protocols developed by DFINITY that combine independent data centers so the Internet itself can also play cloud, and provide an open platform for hosting software, services and data.

The Internet Computer is a different kind of cloud computing platform. It is an entirely reimagined IT stack where software takes a new simpler form. The platform is formed by secure protocols rather than proprietary infrastructure and is tamperproof, and software can also be highly secure without depending on firewalls and VPNs. Software development and maintenance is simplified, systems are interoperable at the level of function calls, and autonomous software is supported, enabling the development of open internet services.

Emercoin is a blockchain platform. Since 2013 it has developed a wide range of easy-to-use dSDKs. dSDK (Decentralized Software Development Kit) is a set of software development tools that allows the creation of software, services and solutions. Usually, it includes APIs, technical documentation and parts of code for fast and easy development on a certain platform.

dSDKs are already implemented in numerous innovative technical solutions built on the blockchain. Emercoin offers services that have a potential to change the way different industries operate, providing means for data protection, secure storage of information, and creation of distributed services.
