#Fantom Pro-Arguments Below is a Fantom pro-argument written by FrogsDoBeCool. > # Fantom, its Background and Pro's > > Disclaimer: I have not owned or worked with the Fantom network in the past. This piece was made for people to introduce them to Fantom, and all the benefits it has on the surface, and foundationally. > > # Consensus, and the DAG > > * **Proof of Stake** > * Fantom runs the **proof of stake** consensus to keep the network running, compared to **proof of work** (which major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, etc use). "[Proof of stake](https://blockworks.co/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake-whats-the-difference/) systems are significantly more energy-efficient than proof-of-work operations..." It's also significantly easier for a person to make a node on a PoS network than a PoW network, usually, all you need is a laptop, and a certain amount of tokens. All of these are positives for Fantom, but diving deeper, Fantom uses a specific PoS consensus. > * The APY of proof of stake (the tokens you receive from holding your Fantom tokens in a wallet) is anywhere from 4% to 15%. Fantom has a system in place to prevent people from fear selling, this is [called locking](https://fantom.foundation/ftm-staking/#:~:text=Choose%20to%20lock%2Dup%20your,base%20rate%20%E2%80%93%204%25%20APY), you lock your fantom tokens in your wallet to receive more APY benefits. So if you lock up your Fantom for 14 days, you get 4% APY, but if you lock it up for 1 year, you get 15%. > * **Lachesis** > * According to the [Fantom Foundation](https://www.fantom.foundation/lachesis-consensus-algorithm/), "We created Lachesis to overcome the limitations of previous consensus algorithms. It is, in fact, the ideal option for applications that need high-throughput, fast finality, and bank-grade security". > * Blocks do not need to be confirmed for a transaction to finalize, there are systems in place to prevent malicious and false transactions, and there's no 'leader' system where a specific wallet or person confirms blocks or transactions. > * **The DAG** > * Lachesis runs on the DAG, a consensus that differs than the normal "blockchain". In a normal blockchain, block 1 directly goes to block 2, directly goes to block 3, etc. in a DAG, block 1 could connect with multiple blocks, like block 2, 3, 4, etc. A DAG must never circle around, so if block 10 is the latest block, it cannot go back and confirm block 1 again. > * But why the DAG? Fantom uses a DAG to increase the scale and speed of its transactions. Each "block" (a dag isn't a blockchain to say) acts semi-independently of each other to get faster confirms. > * Fantom can reach a [transaction finality](https://fantom.foundation/blog/tps-or-ttf-understanding-blockchain-speed/) of 1 second. So on average a transaction will be finalized in 1 second, this is different than what many other crypto people use to tell how fast a network is, that being TPS (transactions per second). the DAG that Fantom uses allows transactions to be finalized on the network significantly quicker than the block being confirmed. (it's important to note, smart contract transactions are significantly slower than just moving fantom tokens). > > # DEFI > > * **EVM** > * [The EVM is the Ethereum Virtual Machine](https://www.bitrates.com/guides/ethereum/what-is-the-unstoppable-world-computer#:~:text=The%20EVM%20is%20essential%20to,(i.e.)%20executing%20smart%20contracts), a machine that devs use to create dapps (Decentralized Applications), Fantom is EVM compatible, meaning you can port an ETH dapp onto the Fantom network without having to recreate the entire dapp from scratch. > * Incentives to build > * Most devs work on the ETH blockchain due to its popularity, but many also work for Fantom, why? for one, the EVM helps them port their dapps easily, and for another, money. [Over 370 million Fantom](https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/21/08/g22721821/fantom-announces-massive-incentive-program-to-reward-defi-developers) has been directed to help devs produce dapps > > # Governance > > * [Fantom has a unique governance system](https://fantom.foundation/blog/on-chain-governance-released/), for one, anyone can propose something for 100 Fantom. And voting costs about $0.00001 in transaction fees. > * Then for voting, a wallet holder can vote 0-4 instead of yes and no. 0 is total disagreement, 4 is complete agreement. Each proposal can have multiple options too to represent all points of view. > * All proposals are in templates for how much they change the network. > * A template 1 vote is a non-important vote, agreement levels must be 55% or more. > * A template 2 vote is also non-important but requires a bit more agreement, 60%. > * A template 3 vote will directly change the network, may be for updates, or changing the rewards rate for delegators. 90% of delegators must vote, and a 90% of them must agree > * A template 4 vote can deconstruct a solidity contract, basically used for changing penalties for if something happened. 90% of delegators must vote, but only 55% must agree. ***** Would you like to learn more?

Kaspa addresses the blockchain trilemma—balancing scalability, security, and decentralization—through its unique DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) structure, making it highly suitable for electronic cash systems. Unlike traditional blockchains like Bitcoin, which prioritize security and decentralization often at the expense of scalability, Kaspa's DAG architecture enables simultaneous block additions. This increases transaction throughput dramatically while maintaining a decentralized network. The GHOSTDAG protocol further ensures that Kaspa achieves consensus quickly and securely, even in a high-throughput environment. Consequently, Kaspa offers the rapid transaction processing essential for everyday transactions, positioning it as an effective form of electronic cash. On the other hand, Bitcoin, with its robust security and widespread recognition, serves more naturally as a store of value, akin to digital gold. This distinction highlights Kaspa's potential in complementing Bitcoin by fulfilling the role of a scalable, efficient medium of exchange in the digital economy.

Well, technically, blockchain cannot run any LLM on chain, maybe small AI but major LLM would be way to big and demanding in terms or storage and ressources. Because of that, the idea of connecting Blockchain and AI, even just as a "middleware" to fetch off chain AI API still make sens. I'm developer of [blockai.dev](http://blockai.dev), which is also a Blockchain & AI project, we basically offer to run Agents similarly to how blockchain nodes work, these agents can resolve AI requests for a fee, this allow any dApp to request an AI Task and receive the result through a callback and then use it on chain. This is a needed first step to use AI in Blockchain projects. Being able to verify the requested data is indeed important and something not yet handled by most projects but we are all still early in building around this, there is way to handle it and they should be implemented as next steps. Areas we are exploring at BAI for this are a DAG based approach for oracle networks or, another possible option is using seeds, API like OpenAI for example allow to use "seed" with request which allow to generate (mostly) consitant results therefore we could image that each Agents of the network have a seed and is required to use it in all it's request. From there we could imagine to have something where everytime one agent would be processing a request, another one, selected randomly, would verify the request using the processing agent seed. Agent would get flagged and excluded if verification fail. You can read more about it: [https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/reproducible\_outputs\_with\_the\_seed\_parameter](https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/reproducible_outputs_with_the_seed_parameter)

It’s promising! It sounds like some scaling could happen via optimization if we wanted to, and once that paper comes out we will be able to scale a lot more. It sounds like they are aiming for a more secure DAG model (Fantom uses a DAG consensus model).

What???? The Fetch.ai project is using artificial intelligence alongside blend of the blockchain and DAG (directed acyclic graph) data structures to build a scalable and stable ledger. The ledger’s consensus algorithm is called uPoW (useful proof-of-work), which seeks to make the computational power that is used to secure the ledger also perform other useful tasks for the network’s participants.

Well, the point I think is this phenomenon is iterative. We're already seeing the "next generation" not as Solana's L2s, but spinning their own chains (or better DAG), Sui and Sei being two examples of this. In part because their architecture is deeply different, in part because ecosystems are incompatible

There are plenty of networks with fast transactions with under 10s blocks, too many to name. Every Ethereum L2, Polygon PoS, Avalanche C-Chain, most Cosmos L1 networks, Algorand, Hedera, XRPL, nearly every DAG like IOTA and Kaspa. And every fork of those networks.

The DAG is ordered by the users when they create the transactions. What you are describing is a scenario where transactions interact with what we call a 'commonly accessible slot'. I.e. a slot of storage which can be accessed/written to by a large number of people as opposed to something like users personal ERC-20 balance. I highly recommend reading the whitepaper for a full description of how this works, but basically the users define exactly the entire impact on the world state when they create the transaction (unlike in normal EVMs). If there is a very high write rate for a single slot then it will cause conflicting transactions, but these conflicts will be resolved in the blocks. Services that generate high access rates will be incentivised to create contracts that overcome this trade-off via parallelisation of the slots (e.g. in your example they could create multiple ERC-20 token addresses), or they use an architecture where the users make requests through their service to generate the full transaction data, and their service can then sequence the transactions so that conflicts don't occur. Conflicts are the trade-off of this system, but they limit concurrency of individual slots instead of the entire network in the case of a normal EVM.

singularity87

Great question. Soloneum is actually a full EVM, meaning all transactions can access the global state. No off-chain operators needed. The keyframe chains are used to create a DAG ordering of transactions *like* UTXO, but it is not actually a UTXO system. The DAG is an extra constraint on the EVM and is what unlocks the scaling benefits, and stops MEV and front-running.

singularity87

Great question. Soloneum is a full EVM. No off-chain operators needed. Keyframe chains associate transactions to each other in a DAG structure but every transaction still has access to global state. The DAG structure is just used for ordering. The DAG is an extra constraint on the EVM system, but this extra constraint is what unlocks the scaling potential by enforcing ordering at creation instead in the block. This is why front-running and MEV is now impossible.

HSuke

One of the issues with building DEXs using a UTXO model on Cardano was the lack of global state, lack of permissions for using another account's tokens, and the need for off-chain operators. How hard would it be to build DEXs using the keychain model? Would it be possible to have AMMs, or do you need an off-chain operator to pick the swap prices and execute the swap? Because keychains are essentially a DAG network, they're operating within local state. How do keychains resolve back to global state, or interact globally?

Nano is a DAG and has no single blockchain serving as transaction ledger like bitcoin or other POW coins, it's impossible to just fork it like you could with bitcoin. Also, there is no "centralized power" whatsoever. For decentralization, the nano network consists of hundreds individual decentralized nodes like any other crypto currency. They use Open Represantive Voting (ORV) to reach a consensus about which transactions are valid and which are not. You can find a graph showing the voting weight distribution of principal represantive nodes right below the table here: https://nanocharts.info/

My favorite meme coin project is banano. This is the best project for crypto beginners. The kalium wallet is super easy to use and to learn how a wallet can be used. Because of the DAG protocol the transfer of the native coin ($BAN) is feeless. So some test transfer of the coin to another wallet costs nothing. It is easy to try out how a paper wallet works. It has wrapped banano (wBAN) as a side project on polygon, BNB and fantom chain, the swap between different coins can be tested easily. It has also a great community on discord and reddit r/banano . And here on Reddit the banano tipbot works perfectly, feeless.

#Nano Pro-Arguments Below is a Nano pro-argument written by Shippior. > Nano, which has recently adjusted its ticker to XNO is a DAG based, fee-less blockchain. > > Some fun facts that do not have to do anything with being a pro-argument: > > * Nano has been 100% distributed using faucets. Some follow-up facts about the faucet can be found in this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/h7fmge/the_nano_faucet_distribution_visualized_and/) > * Nano used to be called Raiblocks. [Rai stones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones) were very large boulders used by the Yap inhabitants in Micronesia as a currency. The stones could not be physically moved but they changed ownership in exchange for goods. By mutual agreement the ownership of a stone was decided. > * The distribution of nano was supposedly 400 million. However after distributing 133 million the faucet failed and this amount was now the market cap. The [logo of nano](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/18/Nano_logo.png) reminds of this market cap as it consists of 1 dot, 3 dots, 3 dots. > > The big advantage of Nano is that it is fee-less. Every transaction on the blockchain is transferred for 0 XNO. Therefore the crypto is ideal for micro-payments, whereas for many blockchain these kind of transactions are very costly due to the transaction fee that is required for sending these amounts is greater than the micro payment. Therefore it is the ideal candidate for use for in-game purchases, paying for ad removal online or simply paying back that round of beers your friend got at the bar. > > Inherent at having zero fees is the issue that the people that secure the network do not get a financial incentive as there are no mining or staking rewards for validators. The idea for Nano is that running a node in the long term will save a validator costs instead of earning rewards. As the transactions are free the only cost for receiving transactions is running a validator node. With enough scale the saved costs of not having to pay VISA will outnumber the costs of running a node. > > With V23.0 having been released lately the Nano Development Foundation (which did receive any portion at the fair launch of XNO, contrary to many projects where the team receives up to 50% of all coins) has been focusing on both V24.0 which will provide a permanent solution for the spam attacks that the network endured early 2021 but also start a marketing campaign for the adoption of Nano. The team said that they will only start to market the product once they think it is (close to) finished. > > This marketing campaign has already provided several interesting results. First of all it has been adopted by 2miners. 2miners allows their participants to pay-out their mining rewards from mining ETH in nano, thereby by-passing the high ETH gas fees. > > Nex to that they have anounced a partnership with [FlowHub](https://twitter.com/nano/status/1460650892194160650). FlowHub is said to look into using Nano within their supply chains to save on expenditures. Also Kappture, which provides point of sale devices, has proofed to be interested in [nano](https://twitter.com/Kappture1/status/1473969560294416386). The in-game micropayments that I have mentioned before in this post are also currently investigated by [Poki](https://twitter.com/nano/status/1409509248971726860) a platform used by 30 million users. > > So all in all it seems like nano is finally being used for what it was meant to be and many more people are seeing it's strenghts.

Gamblefi is still undervalued, casinos like Freebitco and Dplay have been steadily yielding gains even in the bear market. Looking into DAG, RWA and AI to build a complete portfolio

GrandmasGiantGaper

It's because of the DAG, KAS solved the trillema. It's PoW (decentralised) with the efficient of PoS with instant transactions. I don't own KAS, but I am taking a gamble on its fork, KLS (ASIC resistant GPU KAS fork for an even further decentralised network)

>I think a lot of people make the connection primarily because of the DAG, but they differ in both degree and kind so much that I don't think they are even remotely comparable Was only comparing the tech at a surface level, it's the combination of all the other factors that make it feel like Nano to me. >Ultimately, I think it does enough right to warrant it's current price appreciation and hype but it is not without issues (like all projects in this space). I feel like many people felt the same way about Nano in 2017. A $4B coin needs more substance than just good tech and good founder. Every chain feels that they have the best tech, but not every chain has the same level of engagement from the industry/community. And to be quite honest, 99.999% of people aren't qualified to evaluate "which tech is best", so I generally don't put much weight into the idea that the tech is better until there are better indicators like engagement (which won't be easy to gauge until SC go live). Just a little too unproven with too much potential downside(price wise) for me at the moment. I did just get a new computer though, is it GPU or CPU mineable? Maybe I'd mine some and mess around with it.

olduvai_man

I think a lot of people make the connection primarily because of the DAG, but they differ in both degree and kind so much that I don't think they are even remotely comparable (not so speak on Nano's centralization/scalability/etc). Regarding SC, I believe that Kaspa will have 1 more opcode compared to BTC, which will enable ZK rollups and it's currently in development on the team but probably won't be implemented until DAGKNIGHT has been implemented (rightly so). Your last point is a good one, and something that Yonatan has commented on quite a bit in the project's discord chat and presentations online. It's a legitimate concern and the network does need consistent growth unless a more drastic solution is implemented (probably will not be well-received). I think that's probably the part of the project that is the most concerning, but I think it's not an intractable problem to solve. Ultimately, I think it does enough right to warrant it's current price appreciation and hype but it is not without issues (like all projects in this space).

jawni

I mean, all that sounds good, but to me, it's very reminiscent of Nano. DAG tech, outperforming the market, fair launch, not listed many places, but nothing really happening around it(or at least I never hear or see anyone talk about it, besides the tech/price talking points you've listed). I'll have to wait and see how smart contracts develop, because that seems like a make or break aspect. The faster halving schedule also gives me pause, as the security budget will disappear fast without high demand on-chain supplementing the block subsidy.

This doesn't make sense to me. If you truly believe in decentralization then you should be more interested in Kaspa than Cardano. Kaspa is POW and encourages actual decentralization not POS rich get richer style consensus where only the rich can participate. Bitcoin is a fair mine POW and so is Kaspa. Kaspa is the next line in the spiritual succession to Bitcoin not ADA. The main difference being that Kaspa uses a DAG and so is actually faster than bitcoin while remaining POW.

DAT_DROP

directed acyclical graphing allows for \*truly and completely\* feeless transactions (0.00000000 gas, if you will), gets **faster** as the network loads, perform two validations and your own transaction is in turn validated. Better, it is quantum-resistant by its distributed nature. Its a matter of time until Bitcoin private keys become as hackable as the webcam I watch your girl on every night. DAG cannot be taken in a 51% attack thanks for coming to my shitty DROPtalk

#CBDC Pro-Arguments Below is a CBDC pro-argument written by Nostalg33k. > # Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), what do they solve, why they are the best ? > > ​ > > A Central Bank Digital Currency is NOT a game changer, most people already use "digital money" through their credit card. So the question everyone should ask is, "What do digital currencies solve?". Actually a loooot of problems. > > ​ > > # 1) Money creation: From banks to Central banks, bring the power back to the state and not the profiteering industry. > > CBDC's if they replace normal currencies would not allow banks to lend money they don't have. This can be seen as a problem until you put inflation into the equation. Everyone is currently lambasting about inflation and money creation from the State BUT the fact is that money creation is done principally by private banks and not by the State. > > ​ > > For one dollar in the banking system, they can lend up to 10 dollars with a fractional reserve. While we could believe in free markets before the ecological crisis we are living through and before the oil industry price gouged the population through the non-exploitation of government leases. Right now, a lot of industries are in need of government planning to switch from cheap energy relying on existing infrastructure to go towards renewables and new infrastructure. This planning require governments to have a better control of the economy. CBDC's can provide this control by controlling the credit industry. > > ​ > > # 2) The extinction of trafic and tax evasion > > Another big aspect of CBDC's is their traceability. Through blockchain, it would be far easier to look for suspect transactions. This would kill the drug industry and allow to properly tax people. By taking control of the money supply and requiring a reason for each transactions, it would be far harder to have illegal activities and to evade the taxation system which provides for our governments, (roads, infrastructure, healthcare,...) > > # 3) Multiple specialized money. > > Governments aiming to plan their economies in a better way would be able to introduce different currencies. For example, welfare could be given in a money that is specialized toward food or rent. While intrusive this would allow certain sectors of the economy to be excluded from the free market. > > # 4) Data collection, Instant transactions and practical. > > CBDCs if they don't replace cash as a whole still provide an important service to our societies and should replace digital transactions currently done with your account balance. If they are backed by a blockchain using DAG or an infrastructure allowing for instant transaction, they can be very practical and allow us to have a better understanding of spending. With implementation of anonymisation of the data, we could give this date to different economist and other planners to understand how we can provide better services and better goods to people. > > ​ > > # 5) A good introduction to Cryptocurrency, wallet management and other aspects of the digital economy. > > CBDCs can be a very good pedagogic tool to help people realize that their currencies can be exist on a blockchain. If the wallet is compatible with Meta-mask and other wallet managers , then it could help people to use crypto related software. They could even be signing smart contracts and swap their coins. > > ​ > > # 6) Technical side, a diversity of possibilities all which their advantages and problems. > > ​ > > On the more technical aspect of CBDCs, there is a large diversity of possibility because each central bank can have their own design. > > An example can be the Bank of England: [The CBDC Project in the UK](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/research/digital-currencies#:~:text=to%20contact%20us-,What%20is%20central%20bank%20digital%20currency%3F,a%20computer%20or%20similar%20device) > > The Bank of England's CBDC would co-exist with cash. While this page doesn't explain the technical side, one can be surprised that they don't seem to be looking at the blockchain technology as [their paper on New forms of money](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/paper/2021/new-forms-of-digital-money) shows. > > The world blockchain is only mentioned when discussing the possibility to regulate stablecoins. > > ​ > > One could ask what is the point of this CBDC since wire transfers exist:"What Is a Wire Transfer? > A wire transfer is an electronic transfer of funds via a network that is administered by banks and transfer service agencies around the world.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm currently invested in DAG and XDC. I've been trying to research info on them positive and negative, but I can't seem to find recent news. It's like they're stagnant. I've been considering dropping those 2 and reallocating them into CSPR and HBAR. Any thoughts?

DAG?

infratexture

I'd say XRP's side chains are more similar to subnets on avalanche and that the X chain on avalanche is very different tech (append only DAG) but I can see how you could make that association. Avalanche probably has more composability than XRP so inter subnet communication is likely more elegant than having trusted witness servers on both sides of the chain as you do on XRP.

big blocks is a flawed concept, period. The bells and whistles don't matter if it doesn't scale. RE the Asic debate, a lot of people get this wrong. First of all, any PoW has Asics, the only question is how distributed those asics are. Once the asics are optimized to the algo (as with BTC), the odds are actually even again for anyone with the money to invest in a single asic. And if you're dreaming of mining as a poor person with a laptop, that isn't possible even without asics for a popular coin, simply due to the sheer hashrate involved from how many miners there are. RE the DAG complaint, this extra algorithmic layer allows scaling to an actual currency AND fixes MEV (this narrative has not been understood by nearly anyone yet concerning Kaspa and will be a big deal in some years). So yes it is absolutely justified. BTC was once untested, if you don't want to take the risk that's fine.

andylowe14

bells and whistles that elevates it from simple money in a very significant way. kaspa may be scalable but at what cost? ASIC mining results in heavy consentration of control of the hashrate, and whales owning huge wallets which has already happened on kaspa. furthermore the DAG technology in Kaspa requires an extra algorithmic layer which introduces an unknown vulnerability, only time will tell if that is exploited or not. Doesnt sound like something I would want to be parking my funds in just to wait and see. Because in the meantime I have other ways to send and receive funds and it doesnt need to be instantaneous if its decentralised and secure

#CBDC Pro-Arguments Below is a CBDC pro-argument written by Nostalg33k. > # Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), what do they solve, why they are the best ? > > ​ > > A Central Bank Digital Currency is NOT a game changer, most people already use "digital money" through their credit card. So the question everyone should ask is, "What do digital currencies solve?". Actually a loooot of problems. > > ​ > > # 1) Money creation: From banks to Central banks, bring the power back to the state and not the profiteering industry. > > CBDC's if they replace normal currencies would not allow banks to lend money they don't have. This can be seen as a problem until you put inflation into the equation. Everyone is currently lambasting about inflation and money creation from the State BUT the fact is that money creation is done principally by private banks and not by the State. > > ​ > > For one dollar in the banking system, they can lend up to 10 dollars with a fractional reserve. While we could believe in free markets before the ecological crisis we are living through and before the oil industry price gouged the population through the non-exploitation of government leases. Right now, a lot of industries are in need of government planning to switch from cheap energy relying on existing infrastructure to go towards renewables and new infrastructure. This planning require governments to have a better control of the economy. CBDC's can provide this control by controlling the credit industry. > > ​ > > # 2) The extinction of trafic and tax evasion > > Another big aspect of CBDC's is their traceability. Through blockchain, it would be far easier to look for suspect transactions. This would kill the drug industry and allow to properly tax people. By taking control of the money supply and requiring a reason for each transactions, it would be far harder to have illegal activities and to evade the taxation system which provides for our governments, (roads, infrastructure, healthcare,...) > > # 3) Multiple specialized money. > > Governments aiming to plan their economies in a better way would be able to introduce different currencies. For example, welfare could be given in a money that is specialized toward food or rent. While intrusive this would allow certain sectors of the economy to be excluded from the free market. > > # 4) Data collection, Instant transactions and practical. > > CBDCs if they don't replace cash as a whole still provide an important service to our societies and should replace digital transactions currently done with your account balance. If they are backed by a blockchain using DAG or an infrastructure allowing for instant transaction, they can be very practical and allow us to have a better understanding of spending. With implementation of anonymisation of the data, we could give this date to different economist and other planners to understand how we can provide better services and better goods to people. > > ​ > > # 5) A good introduction to Cryptocurrency, wallet management and other aspects of the digital economy. > > CBDCs can be a very good pedagogic tool to help people realize that their currencies can be exist on a blockchain. If the wallet is compatible with Meta-mask and other wallet managers , then it could help people to use crypto related software. They could even be signing smart contracts and swap their coins. > > ​ > > # 6) Technical side, a diversity of possibilities all which their advantages and problems. > > ​ > > On the more technical aspect of CBDCs, there is a large diversity of possibility because each central bank can have their own design. > > An example can be the Bank of England: [The CBDC Project in the UK](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/research/digital-currencies#:~:text=to%20contact%20us-,What%20is%20central%20bank%20digital%20currency%3F,a%20computer%20or%20similar%20device) > > The Bank of England's CBDC would co-exist with cash. While this page doesn't explain the technical side, one can be surprised that they don't seem to be looking at the blockchain technology as [their paper on New forms of money](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/paper/2021/new-forms-of-digital-money) shows. > > The world blockchain is only mentioned when discussing the possibility to regulate stablecoins. > > ​ > > One could ask what is the point of this CBDC since wire transfers exist:"What Is a Wire Transfer? > A wire transfer is an electronic transfer of funds via a network that is administered by banks and transfer service agencies around the world. Wire transfers involve a sending and receiving institution and require information from the party initiating the transfer, such as the receiver's name and account number. > Wire transfers don't actually involve the physical exchange of cash but are settled electronically."[Source](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/wiretransfer.asp#:~:text=Wire%20transfers%20involve%20a%20sending,cash%20but%20are%20settled%20electronically) > > # Conclusion: > > CBDCs are the best for the current era, we need to be able to plan the economy and to fight turbulences while we resolve the chalenges of the era.

They could provide a way to stop trafics and to do financial planning, to introduce multiple specialized currencies and many other points. > > ​ > > These should be introduced through referendums with a very high threshold for the decision to be made (60 or 70%) because they are societal changes that could radically change our world. > > ​ > > Thank you for reading my post ! ***** Would you like to learn more?

Link Dot Millix - Their own DAG, has a ETH Bridge, Their own Social Network (Tangled Social), Play to earn platform (Cobra Helix), and their Web Browser with built in wallet and node (Tangled), its a great hidden gem, but they need to start promoting it already,

Nano's lack of inflation is makes it more decentralized over time and its scalability is unmatched due to its unique (DAG) design and lightweight architecture. Instead of weaknesses, these strengths have captivated those who are passionate about technology and drawn them to Nano.

#Avalanche Pro-Arguments Below is a Avalanche pro-argument written by a deleted user. > Avalanche is a relatively-new (only 1.5 years old) multi-blockchain crypto project whose token, AVAX, shot up into the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap in just 1 year. It has since fallen a bit. > > It has 3 chains on its primary network (C-Chain, X-Chain, P-Chain) and many subnets. The C-Chain is the most-used chain and almost the only one that's used by exchanges. > > I have a separate summary of [Avalanche here](https://np.reddit.com/r/MPlankton/comments/ukjt2e/avalanche_research_summary/) that discusses the platform in more detail. > > This post only lists the PROs > > ##PROs > > * The C-Chain uses an account model for transactions and is EVM-compatible. So it's easy for devs to create apps that bridge between EVM-compatible networks. > * The C-Chain EVM has many optimizations which make it much more gas-efficient than Ethereum. Most smart contract transactions cost pennies on the Avalanche network. > > **Low Transaction Costs** > > * C-Chain basic transactions (e.g. transfers/swaps) currently [$.03-$.10](https://snowtrace.io/gastracker) after the Crabada DeFi game moved to its subnet. This is way cheaper than using Ethereum (both before and after The Merge). Like Ethereum, the C-Chain also spam-resistant due to variable transaction fees. When the network was 30% congested while Crabada was running on the C-Chain, transaction fees were still only between $0.30 to $1.5 to execute. > * X-Chain and P-Chain transaction fees are fixed at a low [0.001 AVAX](https://docs.avax.network/learn/platform-overview/transaction-fees/), which are currently $0.05 - $0.10 USD (Apr 2022). Both are spam-resistant because you'd need to spend over $1M USD / hour in transaction fees before they start seeing congestion. > * However, note that transaction fees are kept artificially low because validators are paid by staking rewards, which creates high inflation (over 10%) on the circulating supply. > > **High performance and speed** > > * **Extremely fast finality**: All 3 primary chains have an extremely-fast [1-2 second deterministic finality](https://docs.avax.network/build/tutorials/platform/integrate-exchange-with-avalanche/). Avalanche uses Snow, which is a fast BFT-like consensus protocol that uses a DAG structure for network gossip. Most other BFT-class blockchains have a moderately-slower 4-10s finality time. > * **Moderately-fast TPS**: > * **C-Chain**: Highest achieved TPS was [869](https://stats.avax.network/dashboard/c-chain-activity/) on the C-Chain, which accounts for over 99% of Avalanche transactions. This is already 50x higher than Ethereum's maximum TPS of ~16 TPS. The maximum TPS depends on the type of smart contracts it sees (300 bytes on average). Currently, the Avalanche C-Chain is only seeing [10-40 TPS](https://snowtrace.io/chart/tx) because it doesn't get that many transaction requests. These are mostly from the Crabada game that's going to move into its own subnet. > * **X-Chain**: This is often quoted to be the 4500 TPS network of Avalanche (though it's quite misleading because this chain gets very little usage compared to the C-Chain). The X-Chain uses UTXO transactions and does not support smart contracts, so it's best compared to the Bitcoin network. 4500 TPS is orders of magnitude faster than Bitcoin's 5-7 TPS. In ideal test situations (150 nodes, 10kb blocks), the X-Chain can get [up to 7000 TPS](https://assets.website-files.com/5d80307810123f5ffbb34d6e/6009805681b416f34dcae012_Avalanche%20Consensus%20Whitepaper.pdf). > * **P-Chain**: The P-Chain is very similar to the X-Chain. Its purpose is for governance, staking, validators, and subnet management. Its 4500 TPS limit is way more than it will ever need. > * **High uptime**: Avalanche's primary network has had no outages. Aside from a brief minting bug in Feb 2022, it has not experienced any noticeable congestion. > > **Supports Application-Specific sidechains: Subnets** > > In addition, Avalanche uses subnets to build application-specific blockchains that connect weakly to its ecosystem. > > * Subnets allows communities to create their own flexible sidechains that are loosely connected to the Avalanche's primary network. Subnets gain access to Avalanches infrastructure and framework, but not its security. They can have their own consensus model, decide the requirements for validators, be public or private, and have their own native token for transaction fees. > * Subnet validators must validate the Primary network, which in turns validates the 3 built-in networks. As the number of subnets grow, they will contribute to the overall security and decentralization of Avalanche's primary network (but not vice-versa). ***** Would you like to learn more?

There is never an universal disdain of love from the whole community to any coins, even the most popular ones like BTC and ETH or most hated ones like safemoon, you will always get those who have the unpopular opinion. Every crypto has its cons and pros some have a lot of cons, some have very little. Shile I don't think Solana is some scam or anything, I dislike it because I don't think it's bult right and upholding the core ideals of crypto. It's builtfor maximizing speed of user transactions, but they sacriciced a lot of very important things to get that. One is that they have to use a lot of validator gossip transaction to store on the chain that are needed there for various reasons like staking or whatever. That's not very storage efficient. The blockchain is probably huge. On blockchain you want to be as eficient as possible so that the validators don't have to buy heaps of data storage to be able to run it. And that takes me to mthe most important sacrifice they made - centralization. One of thhe most important, and i would say the most important, reason why crypto has been intvented is that crypto has been made as a solution to the centralized nature of money, the founders like satoshui etc were fed up with govermnments and banks having absolute control over the money, cenzoring people, freezing and taking their moeny for whatqever reasons even the corrupt or unjust ones, and they can freely print as much money as they want and give them to the rich, reducing the value of saving of normal people, and so on. Crypto has been invented as the alternative where people will finally get their own monoey that the people run and government couldn''t easily take eway from them or devalue. When you make a centralized crypto like solana did, it's defeating this main reason why we invented cryprto in the first place. Sure they can benefit the ecosystem by giving us those fast cheap options, jsut don't be upset when they fuck up and fail or shut down because they are centralized so the small group of people running it have powert over what they can do with it. There are other cryptos that are still fast and cheap, while still being decentralized. For example DAG ones, like COTI, or Cardano, or Nano (that is probably among the fastest cheapest), etc...

I am GLAD I found this. I have been toying eith the idea of a "crypto index fund" so to speak and current projects and current worth is DAG $761 HBAR $445 SEI $325 FEED $144 AMP $137 Shib $89 Civic $45. at this point nothing too serious but thinking on New Years creating a more serious one the only "bluechip" in there is HBAR. If any of you were to formulate a theoretical crypto index fund for the year of 2024 and were expecting to put about 1k a month into 5 to 10 projects what would you pick??

Incredibly_Based

referring to token unlocks, nice little pump today but every other project pumped today as well? Solana pumped way harder so idk why thats relevant. as for what excites me about hbar best use of DAG model ive seen; Fantom also uses some form of dag but im more impressed with what has been built on hedera, the low costs used to be a pull but now that so many other L1's are achieving similar feats its less impressive, dont wanna speak too much on the governing council, as it's not really tech related but imo its a really novel idea to have so many companies working with and providing input to the network, even if its getting a bit crowded and I heard some members arent as active as they're meant to be. hard not to mention the eco friendly aspects, although Algorand does many of the things hbar is known for as well but im sure both projects will do great longterm, whats the best part of hbar stack in your opinion? planning on stacking more hbar when the price tanks back to 2 cents, dont think we've even unlocked 70% of the tokens yet🤦‍♂️

If you’re looking for long term, look into constellation network (DAG). They have an actual partnership (not just affiliation) with the US DoD and are vetted and have some good technology already, they’ve just been hesitant to do PR rollouts until they’re more functional, let the tech develop first. Hypergraph technology will be vital for the overload of data which I think they will likely be a main player. Can’t say for sure, and it’s no moon coin, but has solid utility and they have been just quietly working away with regular updates I’ve been following. Tokenicer on YouTube has them as one of their selected few key projects to follow for the future that they believe in. I do own some and am selling all my other bags this upcoming bull besides my btc, eth, and constellation,

$ZNN Small community run L1 with some big brained tech to add programmability and scale bitcoin in a trustless decentralized way acting as an L2. Uses the same DAG as nano so you can transact without fees, tokenomics are good something like 90% of native assets are locked in infrastructure with no pre sales or shady allocations to insiders. Good project.

It's designed to do one thing and one thing only - facilitate transactions or movement of value. And it does this incredibly well. It's free at the point of use (no fees), uses DAG technology to give final confirmation in only seconds. It deliberately does not have or include any kind of other use cases like smart contracts, sub-chains etc etc. That's it, simple as that. It does one thing and it does it better than any other crypto I've come across out there.

It’s on the DAG Protocol. So yes it is but it’s newer technology and faster.

ETH: OG smart contract L1, rollups help the gas issue AVAX: Long-term, best interoperability protocol IMO ICP: Believe in the work being done, end vision of the project FTM: Best DAG implementation to date, tokens almost all distributed

#CBDC Pro-Arguments Below is a CBDC pro-argument written by Nostalg33k. > # Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), what do they solve, why they are the best ? > > ​ > > A Central Bank Digital Currency is NOT a game changer, most people already use "digital money" through their credit card. So the question everyone should ask is, "What do digital currencies solve?". Actually a loooot of problems. > > ​ > > # 1) Money creation: From banks to Central banks, bring the power back to the state and not the profiteering industry. > > CBDC's if they replace normal currencies would not allow banks to lend money they don't have. This can be seen as a problem until you put inflation into the equation. Everyone is currently lambasting about inflation and money creation from the State BUT the fact is that money creation is done principally by private banks and not by the State. > > ​ > > For one dollar in the banking system, they can lend up to 10 dollars with a fractional reserve. While we could believe in free markets before the ecological crisis we are living through and before the oil industry price gouged the population through the non-exploitation of government leases. Right now, a lot of industries are in need of government planning to switch from cheap energy relying on existing infrastructure to go towards renewables and new infrastructure. This planning require governments to have a better control of the economy. CBDC's can provide this control by controlling the credit industry. > > ​ > > # 2) The extinction of trafic and tax evasion > > Another big aspect of CBDC's is their traceability. Through blockchain, it would be far easier to look for suspect transactions. This would kill the drug industry and allow to properly tax people. By taking control of the money supply and requiring a reason for each transactions, it would be far harder to have illegal activities and to evade the taxation system which provides for our governments, (roads, infrastructure, healthcare,...) > > # 3) Multiple specialized money. > > Governments aiming to plan their economies in a better way would be able to introduce different currencies. For example, welfare could be given in a money that is specialized toward food or rent. While intrusive this would allow certain sectors of the economy to be excluded from the free market. > > # 4) Data collection, Instant transactions and practical. > > CBDCs if they don't replace cash as a whole still provide an important service to our societies and should replace digital transactions currently done with your account balance. If they are backed by a blockchain using DAG or an infrastructure allowing for instant transaction, they can be very practical and allow us to have a better understanding of spending. With implementation of anonymisation of the data, we could give this date to different economist and other planners to understand how we can provide better services and better goods to people. > > ​ > > # 5) A good introduction to Cryptocurrency, wallet management and other aspects of the digital economy. > > CBDCs can be a very good pedagogic tool to help people realize that their currencies can be exist on a blockchain. If the wallet is compatible with Meta-mask and other wallet managers , then it could help people to use crypto related software. They could even be signing smart contracts and swap their coins. > > ​ > > # 6) Technical side, a diversity of possibilities all which their advantages and problems. > > ​ > > On the more technical aspect of CBDCs, there is a large diversity of possibility because each central bank can have their own design. > > An example can be the Bank of England: [The CBDC Project in the UK](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/research/digital-currencies#:~:text=to%20contact%20us-,What%20is%20central%20bank%20digital%20currency%3F,a%20computer%20or%20similar%20device) > > The Bank of England's CBDC would co-exist with cash. While this page doesn't explain the technical side, one can be surprised that they don't seem to be looking at the blockchain technology as [their paper on New forms of money](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/paper/2021/new-forms-of-digital-money) shows. > > The world blockchain is only mentioned when discussing the possibility to regulate stablecoins. > > ​ > > One could ask what is the point of this CBDC since wire transfers exist:"What Is a Wire Transfer? > A wire transfer is an electronic transfer of funds via a network that is administered by banks and transfer service agencies around the world. Wire transfers involve a sending and receiving institution and require information from the party initiating the transfer, such as the receiver's name and account number. > Wire transfers don't actually involve the physical exchange of cash but are settled electronically."[Source](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/wiretransfer.asp#:~:text=Wire%20transfers%20involve%20a%20sending,cash%20but%20are%20settled%20electronically) > > # Conclusion: > > CBDCs are the best for the current era, we need to be able to plan the economy and to fight turbulences while we resolve the chalenges of the era. The only question, as shown by the UK proposition of a CBDC is: Will the governments be able to leverage the CBDCs. CBDCs are cool if we accept a bit of intrusion in our financial lives. They could provide a way to stop trafics and to do financial planning, to introduce multiple specialized currencies and many other points. > > ​ > > These should be introduced through referendums with a very high threshold for the decision to be made (60 or 70%) because they are societal changes that could radically change our world. > > ​ > > Thank you for reading my post ! ***** Would you like to learn more?

A blockchain is a DAG, lmao.
