1) PRIVACY in blockchain.

The one thing the public needs but can't get due to compliance.

How can we combine the best of both worlds and how is $AZERO looking to solve this?

A thread on keeping privacy and staying compliant with regulations 🧵👇

@Aleph__Zero #Azero
2) Online privacy has become one of the hottest topics and main concerns of the public.

In an ever growing digital world more and more of our data is being used and sold by third parties.

There's also the growing debate of the government having to many eyes on us.
3) This is where the popularity of blockchain comes into play.

Not only being a technological breakthrough on many different levels but also being PRIVATE.

This adds both benefits and concerns for certain parties.
4) The public sees this as our salvation to today's privacy issues BUT regulation parties see this as a concern for "money laundering" opportunities.

We can all think "fuck what the regulators want" all day long but no regulations = no adoption.
5) Most of today's applications won't ever see approval and the light of day if they are not compliant.

So no matter how much we want "total privacy" as individuals there's not going to be adoption on a global scale if we are not compliant.
6) This means that the holy grail to blockchain adoption are the business that are able to COMBINE the best of both worlds.

And that's exactly what aleph zero is shooting for.

Before it was created it took into account that it had to provide a solution to this to see adoption.
7) How do they offer the privacy that customers demand with transparency that creates both social and governmental trust?

One of their solutions is to create private blockchain protocols that allow for limited access to our personal information.
8) This solution will allow our sensitive data to stay hidden from prying eyes.

It will also offer us the freedom to make it public if necessary.

This compromise meets halfway the current legal conditions while also remaining true to the ethos that rests at the blockchain tech.
9) If you could choose which elements of your online identity to share, it would do wonders for our concept of cybersecurity.

Aleph Zero can solve these problems that fulfills the desires of both those requiring the utmost privacy while also following data storage rules.
10) It does this by implementing "Zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-SNARKs)" and "Secure Multiparty Computation (sMPC)" TOGETHER.
11) ZK-SNARKs pass a secret key between two parties.

The prover can use this encrypted key to confirm before the verifier that certain information is in the possession of the prover.
12) sMPC involves keeping sensitive information off-chain on several nodes.

Only if the nodes conduct a secure handshake can the user access the data.

No one computer can access the encrypted contents without a unanimous consensus.
13) Aleph Zero uses a solution that treads both paths at the same time.

They take the best from both worlds, offering superior security alongside quick transaction speeds.
14) Aleph Zero was designed to solve many of the issues facing the market today.

They trust that boasting a peer-reviewed protocol with superior speed and security is the next step forward for blockchain technology to enter the mainstream and find widespread use.
15) My takeaways:

Aleph Zero has done almost everything it could possibly do to take this blockchain mainstream.

They understand that just providing superior tech isn't enough to see adoption.

With smart contracts around the corner I'm excited to see where they are going 🔥

1) In today's market it's increasingly hard to select high quality cryptocurrencies.

Most eventually fade away and as such we need to search for the best fundamentals.

A thread🧵on $XPR and why you should take a look at this cryptocurrency.

2) Cryptocurrency has come a long way from the early days of its creation.

No longer are the days there were only a handful available and difficult to purchase or access.

We've also seen countless of useful Dapps being developed that show the markets potential.
3) Something that hasn't yet been completely streamlined yet is "user friendliness".

Integrating cryptocurrency in our "traditional everyday finances" is still quite "troublesome".

We've seen great advancements in certain areas through "crypto payment cards".

1) One of the MOST ASKED question in #crypto today is:

Do we really NEED another layer 1?

Why bother building a new platform if there are already so many?

A thread 🧵 on the evolution of blockchain protocols and why this leads to promising others like $AZERO.

Read on 👇 Image
2) In today's market there are more layer 1 projects (also referred to as blockchain protocols) than we can count.

For those not familiar yet with what a layer 1 is let's start with a very brief introduction.
3) A layer 1 is a base blockchain that can validate and finalize transactions without the need for another network.

There's an entire underlying infrastructure.

Almost all of the cryptocurrencies launched today NEED a layer to be build on.

1) $AZERO is praised for its privacy features and fast blockchain.

People's main concern however is it's inflation mechanic.

Is it actually all that bad? Can the project survive with it?

A thread 🧵 on #Azero's yearly inflation.

Read on 👇

2) Inflation.

From an investment point of view inflation is almost always seen in a negative light.

The supply of an asset or currency increases which makes the value decrease if there's no extra buyers activity to compensate the amount of supply increase.
3) From another perspective inflation can also be highly NEEDED for maintaining sustainable growth.

There's a reason why some of the most succesfull blockchains of today (Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos,...) deliberately chose to implement this mechanic.

And they all did great!

1) One of the most SIGNIFICANTLY misunderstood concepts in the blockchain space is transactions-per-second (TPS).

Whenever the average crypto participant sees a high number their eyes sparkle.

Little do they know TPS is not what it seems.

A thread 🧵👇
2) The last couple of years we've seen an enormous amount of new blockchains being created.

Each of them "bigger and better" than the one before.

One of the most popular phrases both marketeers and participants have looked at is "Transactions per second".
3) It is one of the most thrown-around phrases in the industry.

A higher TPS number apparently means it's better than a lower one and as such is the superior blockchain.

Or so they say...

2) It's no secret that mobile phones are hugely popular today.

According to the World Bank there are nearly 5 billion mobile phones operating globally.

Surprisingly there are just 1.2 billion bank accounts in the world.
3) Reason for this is that in many parts of the world it is far easier to access mobile services than it is to access banking services.

Telcoin is meant to be a payment protocol, using mobile payments to provide borderless transfers similar to Western Union, but at lower costs.

1) $AZERO. A privacy-enhancing public blockchain looking to use WASM instead of EVM for its upcoming smart contracts release.

What does this actually mean and is it even better?

A thread on the the difference and why it matters 🧵

Read on 👇

@Aleph__Zero #Azero
2) Let's start with the basics and explain what smart contracts are before we move on to WASM and EVM.

The release of smart contract allow users to create personalized use-cases that don't depend on any kind of institutional intermediary or middleman.
3) For example, two parties can potentially engage in an exchange of real estate through the help of a smart contract ALL without the help of a third party.

No lawyers, no brokers and no banks. You can imagine how much more cost efficient this would be.
