1/Visa sees the value of being a Network of Networks, capturing value from all connected networks
@quant_network enables Enterprises to create their own Network of Networks that can interoperate with any blockchain and existing network at scale and in a compliant manner🧵👇 $QNT
2/ Overledger Network for Enterprise enables businesses, Financial Institutions to run their own secure gateways and form a layer 2 scalable network that can connect to any blockchain or existing network. ZKP can be used for privacy and additional compliance layers built on top.
3/ 1st Party oracle functionality is possible with data being signed at source for security, enabling data providers to add value to the network and be rewarded with aggregation across gateways being possible off-chain rather than most of the value going to miners instead.
4/ Multi-Chain DAPPs can be deployed combing multiple blockchains and existing networks for additional value add to clients as well as the option for a thriving marketplace for 3rd parties, creating positive feedback loops.
5/ Each gateway advertises which resources they have connected to the network and can choose to apply access control lists if required.
The network intelligently routes requests for a resource to the appropriate gateways to action with access to those networks
6/ Multiple gateways can be queried if required and their results compared to provide complete end-to-end trust from application to blockchain.
The Internet is a network of networks, made up of many different AS which connect to each other through gateways (BGP Routers)
7/ Similarly Overledger gateways will be able to peer with each within a network as well as across other Network of Networks created by Enterprises as well as Community hosted gateways accessing public blockchains if required.
8/ Quant are collaborating with MIT, US Government, Intel, Juniper Networks, Payment companies and Telecommunication companies to create Open Digital Asset Protocol, an open blockchain agnostic protocol enabling this gateway to gateway communication
9/ The connectors to blockchain and existing networks are open source and based on the work at ISO TC 307 which Gilbert founded and 57 countries working towards.
10/ Whereas BGP has many security vulnerabilities, this protocol has the highest levels of security designed from the start, incorporating a decentralised trusted computer base model where gateways will employ hardening technologies and tamper-resistant crypto-processors..
11/ such as Trusted Platform Modules and Software Guarded Extensions (such as Intel's SGX) and requirement of TLS 1.2 or higher whilst supporting numerous credential schemes (such as OAuth2.0, SAML), encrypted payloads and access control to resources through client identification
12/ It has also been designed to meet strict regulatory requirements for Financial institutions to meet AML / KYC / FATF Travel rule requirements and other security requirements required for banks and governments.
13/ This enables the connection of the Internet directly to blockchain, providing the foundation for the Internet of Trust, using a secure decentralised trustless protocol to connect all DLT's and existing networks together, to enable Blockchain to achieve its true potential.
14/ Interoperability is key connecting permissionless blockchains, enterprise blockchains, being able to seamlessly connect to existing networks / infrastructure, cryptocurrencies, CBDCs, stablecoins and tokenisation of everything.
. @quant_network provides scalable Any-to-Any interoperability that can seamlessly integrate with any blokchain and legacy system. It enables the creation of Multi Chain DAPPs that span multiple blockchains and existing networks.

See this 37-tweet thread (Click for more replies once you reach the end if can't see all 37) about why CBDCs are going to be a game changer and how Quant have laid the foundations for Overledger to be the global infrastructure for CBDCs
See this 22-tweet thread for an overview of how Quant performs interoperability and runs on top of blockchains, rather than being a blockchain itself to provide a future proof, scalable solution that's aligned to global standards that are being worked on.
1/ Avalanche is a revolutionary consensus engine and highly customisable interoperable platform to enable mass adoption of blockchain. Capable of throughput in excess of VISA, sub-second finality, whilst able to scale to millions of validators $AVAX 🧵👇
2/ Avalanche combines the benefits of Nakamoto consensus (robustness, scale, decentralization) and all the benefits of Classical consensus (speed, quick finality, and energy efficiency) without the disadvantages.
3/ Ted Yin created HotStuff (used in Facebooks Libra) and is the fastest classical consensus protocol. Rather than continue to work on that he went on to be Co-founder & Chief Protocol Architect @avalabsofficial to work on Avalanche, the biggest Breakthrough since Nakamoto
1/ A Q I'm often asked is how does Interledger and Overledger compare? Interledger is designed for payments, which it does very well, but in terms of interoperability its scope is limited to the transfer of value of fungible assets. Overledger goes way beyond that
$QNT $XRP
2/ Interledger is made up of a network of connectors, independent operators that will have accounts across multiple ledgers and are able to swap a currency to different currencies via an exchange rate / which will differ depending on the liquidity held in each of these.
3/ Very basic example - Alice wants to send a payment from Ledger 1 to Bob on ledger 3. If there is a connector which has accounts on both Ledger 1 and Ledger 3 then Alice would send payment to that connector's account on Ledger 1 and the connectors account on Ledger 3 would ...
1/CBDCs are going to completely overhaul the global financial system. The biggest change since Bretton Woods.
Interoperability and Standards are going to be key @quant_network have laid the foundations for Overledger to be the global infrastructure for CBDCs
36-Tweet🧵👇🔥 $QNT
2/ 80% of Central Banks are now researching the deployment of CBDCs. The decline of cash usage, global stablecoins like Libra, COVID, need for lower cast / faster payments have all rapidly reduced the time at which CBDCs will be implemented.
3/ @RaoulGMI recently did a excellent video explaining the profound change this will have and encourage everyone to watch. Also, the highly anticipated interview with @gverdian is due to be released this week on @RealVision
1/@quant_network + @MIT IETF RFC Proposal for Open Digital Asset Protocol (ODAP) an open blockchain agnostic protocol, enabling Interoperability of assets and messages across DLTs as well as Oracle functionality with the use of decentralised trusted compute base gateways🧵👇 $QNT
2/ First some related info on how the Internet works
The Internet is a network of networks, made up of many different autonomous systems (AS), which are large networks or groups of networks with the same unified routing policy and normally each run by an ISP or large enterprises
3/ Within each AS, various Interior Gateway Protocols are used to exchange routing information between gateways (routers). Examples include Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
1/ Quant's Overledger isn't a blockchain, but a blockchain Operating System that runs on top of blockchains to provide scalable Any-to-Any interoperability. What does running on top of blockchains actually mean? Let's take a look 👇
2/ First the problem Quant intends to solve - How do you connect all these different blockchains, regardless of what consensus mechanism they use, whether they are permissioned (Hyperledger, Quorum, Corda etc) or permissionless (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple etc), fast or slow,..
3/ blockchain or DAG, any future blockchains as well as legacy off-chain networks so that they are part of one common network despite all the variations and diversity? How do you do it in a internet scalable, standard driven and future proof way?
