Although China successfully banned crypto-currency mining in order to cut their high-energy consumption, Bitcoin’s electricity consumption is still more than eight times higher than Google’s and Facebook’s combined, with an additional growth of 41% Year-on-Year. For that reason, more States…
Unlike all the other crypto-currencies that lack a proper monetary policy, our crypto-currency will provide a modern monetary policy that optimally adjusts to changes of output, inflation and other macro-economic variables. Today, we are pleased to present the first stochastically…
We premiere a novel method of privacy-preserving authentication for blockchains, Zero-Knowledge Proof-of-Identity (zk-PoI), enabling registration of blockchain nodes by anonymising Electronic Passports. Zero-Knowledge Proof-of-Identity has the following advantages compared to other methods of blockchain node registration (PoW/PoS/PoP/PoA/...): it’s the only…
Today, we are launching Pre-MainNet. Improvements over the previous release include: open-sourced code global coverage has increased with dozens of new countries, including the standardization of biometric identity cards in the European Union (Regulation 2019/1157) which is one our main…
After the U.S. Supreme Court found that Google’s use of Java for Android is “fair use as a matter of law”, we can open-source Obliv-Java, a faithful re-implementation of OpenJDK for secure computation. Crypto-Duke, the Java mascot with his new…
The Holy Grail of Blockchains, or how to build the most scalable, decentralised and secure blockchain, solved in the next publication (bonus: also including identity!).
How are smart contracts being verified nowadays? Generally, smart contracts are stored on the blockchain and the executing party must inspect their source code before executing them. If there are N parties that want to execute the source code, all…
The five ascending levels of intellect: Smart, Intelligent, Brilliant, Genius, Simple. Albert Einstein UPDATE: Please see Obliv-Java repository. Beyond the genius of secure computation, there is the simplicity of its use. Previous approaches to secure computation have developed their own…
We have started open-sourcing some of our technology: An Optimal ICO Mechanism: a Python script to compute a Multi-Unit Vickrey-Dutch auction. The full implementation of the Optimal ICO Mechanism will be open-sourced soon. An example smart contract for the Optimal…
