Company Description
The Graph Token is the native currency of the The Graph ecosystem. Their goal is to create an indexing protocol for querying decentralized networks, and allow anyone to publish open APIs, called subgraphs, which will make this data more accessible. These subgraphs can be composed into a global graph, and can then be transformed, organized, and shared across applications for anyone to query with just a few keystrokes. | Blockstream is a private, for profit, blockchain technology company, that has played a key role in helping to develop, and fund, many of the key features of the Bitcoin Core platform. Blockstream is focused on developing bitcoin applications and has raised significant funding from several large investment funds. The company also employs several developers that are very influential within the Bitcoin Core development project. This, as well as being of Bitcoin's largest donors, has led to some criticism about conflicts of interest. | QuarkChain is building a blockchain with a focus on speed and scalability. They hope to significantly improve transaction times and reduce fees with an architecture that will rely on a two-layered blockchain and elastic sharding. QuarkChain uses a hybrid Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism that is ASIC-resistant. Transactions are first confirmed on one blockchain layer, and then on the second. The network will be powered by the QKC coin. |
