The need for a faster, friendlier and more decentralized blockchain has led investors to a variety of exchanges this year, searching for viable returns. And while most of the internet chatter on our favorite media sites continues to focus on the loudest competitors in the space (think Tron (TRX) and EOS (EOS) as examples) an exciting crypto-alternative may have slipped past your radar. GoChain (GO) is now getting the attention it deserves as this little-known altcoin consistently leads the market in daily gains.

Announced in February of this year (2018), this blockchain concept, developed to rival Ethereum, quickly made its way to a number of exchanges (including Binance, where most of this altcoin’s trading of is done). Since the announcement, a continuous onslaught of positive news and market gains has excited the industry as its competitors stagnate in the current market doldrums we all have experienced.

So, what is GoChain (GO) exactly?

GoChain (GO), whose mainnet was successfully launched earlier this year, is billed as an energy efficient alternative to Ethereum. It is a smart contract platform for dApps with the promise of faster transactions (a lot faster) and increased decentralization. According to their website, GoChain (GO) can provide 1300 transactions per second (compared to Ethereums 13) and can do so with greater decentralization, due to a global network of nodes operated by independent users of the platform.

While these talking-points may sound similar to the rhetoric commonly touted by better-known competitors of the ‘Ethereum killer’ space, GoChain (GO) has a number of characteristics that investors have started paying closer attention to.

GoChain (GO) is ranked 131 on coinmarketcap.com, and boasts a market capitalization of just under US $40 Million. With its daily volume surpassing US $2.6 Million, there seems to be a lot of room to grow. The price point on this newest crypto darling is still stunningly attractive, hovering near US $.06, despite the 1.02 Billion coins that make up the total supply. In a market surrounded by unicorn valuations (companies with a market cap valued over US $1 Billion) there is a concerted effort by savvy investors to place their fiat in smaller companies, like GoChain (GO), that still have potential to expand.

But what recent developments have the market excited about GoChain (GO)?

October was a busy month for GoChain (GO) as the company exerted its strengths at the annual SanFrancisco Blockchain Week conference. Immediately after the successful conclusion of the conference, the company capitalized on their PR blitz with the announcement of the first decentralized exchange, GODDEX, to be built on the GoChain platform.

GoChain (GO) has started November off with a bang as well, as the company announces a new partnership with LINKCHAIN, a secure supply chain sourcing solution. LINKCHAIN will build its platform on $GO, launching GoChain’s first security token offering (STO).

GoChain will be providing marketing and fundraising support to LINKCHAIN while assisting in the development of this blockchain-based supply chain solution.

With momentum building and a consistent track record of performance backing the team, GoChain (GO) stands ready to take their platform to the next level. And with the current news of their newest partnership, investors will likely clamor to take advantage of the current price point before this thing explodes in a brand new bull run. And as we watch Gochain (GO) make consistent gains in the near term, we should all be asking ourselves just how far this altcoin could $GO.
