Finrazor together with ICORating conducted researches and checked the correlation between OTC and mentions of certain words and the originality of the news
A handful of methods exist for raising capital, from private offerings to semi-public to a full-blown IPO or ICO. Now STOs are on the rise which might just be what tech startups need to revitalize the market
We keep up the tradition of giving the stage to crypto advocates to talk about the cryptoindustry. This time we will review the usefulness of blockchain technology and why it deserves a say in the modern world
A Security Token Offering (STO) is a form of raising capital for a startup by distributing tokens to investors. While ICOs mainly deal in utility tokens that grant their holders access to services and products associated with respective blockchains and dapps, security tokens can be thought of as digital documents representing the investor’s rights to equity, a revenue share, debt, etc. STOs provide a better investor protection as they need to be compliant with appropriate regulations
Avalanche introduces a new family of consensus protocols that are claimed to combine the best features of classic protocols and Nakamoto consensus. Described as ‘metastable’, the Avalanche protocol is actually four protocols that build upon each other. These are Slush, Snowflake, Snowball, and finally Avalanche itself
Mythical Games acquires $16 million for Series A funding round. The startup will use the acquired funds to produce games that can be modified by players, brands, and developers. The generated content will be purchasable with in-game currencies bought with real-life money
Holochain is a framework for distributed applications. Unlike blockchains which are data-centric, Holochain uses an agent-centric paradigm. It combines technologies like Bittorrent, git and digital signatures to enable individual chains to merge, split and interact with each other in complex and secure ways
Algorand is a new cryptocurrency and consensus protocol. Its two core technologies are the binary Byzantine Agreement and cryptographic sortition. Algorand’s main difference from other proof-of-stake systems is the absence of economic incentives for network participants, hence the viability of Algorand is currently a subject to wide debate in the community
In today’s clickbait culture it may at times come difficult to tune out media noise and make out the news that matter. At Finrazor, we have developed Trending, a handy tool to help you keep up with the most trending topics and events in an organized and rigorous way
On October 29, Finrazor introduced News Influence Score (NIS) – the first tool which turns the unguided instances of assets’ mentions in media into a measurable parameter. We are going to explain the working principle of the first of its kind feature in details and provide some illustrative use cases
Monero fees plummet to a couple of cents, as the privacy-centric cryptocurrency releases Beryllium Bullet, a highly anticipated system-wide software upgrade. The core change in Monero 0.13.0 includes the introduction of bulletproofs, a breakthrough cryptographic technology that restructures the verification of Confidential Transactions, the technique that helps Monero obfuscate transacted amounts
Cardano claims to be a third-generation cryptocurrency that seeks to provide a scalable, interoperable and sustainable ecosystem with a two-layer architecture using a peer review-based approach to development
Mimblewimble is an extremely lightweight blockchain protocol that can implemented as both an upgrade to Bitcoin or an independent chain. By taking elliptic-curve cryptography several steps further than Bitcoin, Mimblewimble builds upon a number of techniques such as Confidential Transactions, CoinJoin, and One-way Aggregate Signatures and strips down blockchains of all unnecessary data to bring unprecedented scalability and absolute anonymity
Dash aims to be an on-chain scaling and private digital cryptocurrency. Powered by a two-tier network, Dash boasts functionalities such as PrivateSend and InstantSend as well a decentralized governance model called Decentralized Governance by Blockchain
Zcash is a cryptocurrency that offers anonymity by shielding sender and recipient addresses and transacted amounts. Shielded transactions are possible thanks to the power of innovative zero-knowledge cryptography, namely zk-SNARKs
Monero is an anonymous digital currency that enables untraceable and unlinkable transactions by obfuscating a public ledger. It combines ring signatures, stealth addresses, Kovri and RingCT in a way that hides senders, recipients, their IP addresses and transacted amounts
IOTA is a distributed-ledger protocol powered by the Tangle, a DAG-based data structure. With its feeless transactions and tremendous scalability IOTA seeks to be useful in the age of the Internet of Things
Ripple is a real-time gross settlement protocol, currency exchange and remittance network. Ripple Labs, the company developing Ripple, seeks to revitalize bank interoperability by providing an interledger infrastructure (xCurrent), a liquidity layer for fiat currencies (XRP-powered xRapid), and an API to access these services (xVia)
Nano is a digital currency that uses cryptography to enable peer-to-peer transactions. The project seeks to address blockchain limitations by implementing the innovative block-lattice structure and a delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus system.
