IoT Chain (ITC): A new paradigm in IoT technology
Internet of things (IoT) is one of the emerging mainstream technology platforms in recent times, allowing ordinary physical objects to send and receive data through the internet. By 2019, IoT devices are expected to reach 3.054 billion.
IoT Chain seeks to pave the way in this industry by offering the following:
A lite operating system for IoT devices
Utilizing DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) architecture to overcome scaling issues
SPV (Simple Payment Verification) technology to improve payment verification efficiency
ChainCode protection of user data from monopolization by corporates
Each of these features will be addressed in turn.
Lite operating system for IoT devices
As you will be aware, traditional blockchains require significant amount of data storage and processing power to run. It would be impossible for your Fitbit to download and contiually update the Bitcoin blockchain data!
Here is a table showing the efficiencies IoT Chain's technology provides:
Comparator | Traditional Blockchain | ITC |
---|---|---|
CPU | Core Duo Quad 2.4 GHz | 0.08 GHz |
RAM | 8GB | 0.002 GB |
Hard Disk | 1TB | 0.012 GB |
Transaction confirmation speed | 10 seconds (BTC & ETH) | Milliseconds |
DAG Technology
DAG needs no introduction now, with the massive upsurge in IOTA and Raiblocks, DAG is a strong contender for the technology of the future.
Instead of Bitcoin's longest-chain consensus, DAG uses heaviest-chain consensus, confirming transactions through transaction weight and partial consensus among nodes. This effectively solves the scaling and centralization issues that is apparent in Bitcoin, while lowering transaction costs.
Simple Payment Verification for speed and efficiency
SPV plays into the need for IoT technology to be lite-weight but powerful. SPV works through verifying a payment as long as a block's headers are preserved (without needing the entire block). This saves data space and bandwidth and speeds up the entire process - a necessity in the IoT space.
ChainCode - Own your own data
In the world of Big Data, major corporates own your data - they probably know more about you than yourself.
With ITC, data belongs with the user. A company seeking to access this data must use ChainCode. To access a user's data, the corporate must pay ITC to the user in question. This puts ownership and power back to the user's hands, who now benefit from what was once stolen from them.
ITC - Unknown in the Western world
ITC's technology sounds very impressive and well thought-out. So why the miniscule marketcap? My theory is because ITC is only listed on Chinese exchanges, and not even Western/Asian exchanges such as Binance or Kucoin.
Purchasing ITC
The closest exchange would be Bibox (Non-referral link here).
Bibox is an upcoming exchange that lists top coins in China, much earlier before they hit Western exchanges. This allows you to make some significant profit purchasing these coins as an early-investor while they are still relatively unknown.
While Bibox is unknown to the Western world, it is still reputable in Asia and is ranked #28 globally in volume (above Cryptopia and YoBit).
