Introduction

For celebrating the Chinese National Day and boost users’ confidence, DragonEx Academy held a project-meetup activity in the official Telegram group.

There were 18 project partners in this meetup, sharing their core ideas of the team and latest news about the projects.

The meetup was separated into two parts, and the time arrangement is as below:

Highlights of the event

Decentraland(MANA)

Decentraland is a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Users can create, experience, and monetize their content and applications.

Diff Li, Director of Business Development of Decentraland, MANA China, was in the event.

He said, “The word Decentraland is extracted from Decentral (decentralized) + land, aiming to create a decentralized 3D virtual world. Compared with other virtual world, the blockchain-based Decentraland is everlasting.”

He also mentioned that the team’s focus for the time being is on content creation and game development.

Aion(AION)

Aion is a multi-tier system designed to address unsolved questions of scalability, and interoperability in blockchain networks.

Jay, Community & Events Logistics Project Manager of Aion, attended the meetup.

“AION is a blockchain protocol that is designed to resolve the issues of scalability, and interoperability with the existing blockchain networks. Aion’s competitive advantage lies in the way we solve issues of scalability and will have lower transaction fees.” he said.

Horizen(ZEN)

Horizen is a privacy-oriented cryptocurrency and a leading-edge technology platform.

Maybe you guys are not very familiar with Horizen, but actually, Horizen is the brand new Zencash which has upgraded with brand extensions.

Lucy Wang, Marketing Manager of Horizen, said, “Horizen’s original intention was to provide solutions to various problems existing in today’s society through blockchain technology, and to maximize fairness and freedom in a balanced state through the decentralization of blockchain and a set of sustainable governance solutions.”

Wanchain(WAN)

Wanchain is a distributed financial infrastructure that will allow transactions of digital assets across different blockchains by implementing cross-chain transfers.

Mark Tan, South East Asia Business Development Director of Wanchain, said, “Wanchain is a protocol. Just like Eth, with two added features — privacy + cross chain. Our ETH cross chain is live now. Our BTC test net is up now. You can easily move any ERC20 contract over to Wanchain without having its code changed.”

Friendz(FDZ)

Friendz is a fast-growing company whose main goal is to connect brands with their target audience, taking advantage of the most powerful marketing tool ever: the word of mouth on social media.

Andy and Dan, Global Community Managers from Friendz, shared some latest news about what Friendz team was working on recently.

Friendz launched a new bounty platform named TokenBooster in September, of which projects are totally scam-free. And they also revealed their future plan about Friendz itself. “In the near future: With the release of the ‘Friendz’ new App Version, there will be FDZ token integration. This will allow the user to access premium features. These include the chance to see the campaign in advance and reserve one slot for 24 hours to allow more time to shoot your photo.” said Dan.

Decred(DCR)

Decred is an autonomous digital currency.

Guang Guang and Dante are Community Managers from Decred. As they mentioned, “DCR is an open and progressive cryptocurrency based on community management systems integrated into the blockchain.”

What makes Decred standing out from the competition is its original governance mechanisms — an hybrid protocol which combines PoW and PoS. “Decred is 22x more expensive to attack than Bitcoin and 9x more expensive to attack than Ethereum.”, Dante told us. That’s amazing, isn’t it?

Streamr(DATA)

Streamr’s technology focuses on high performance real time data processing and exchange. The goal is to create a network to facilitate a fair data exchange of billions of IoT devices, smart or self-driving cars, users data, whether, traffic, manufacturing data and more.

Some people may be confused: then what is the differece between GXChain and Streamr?

It was explained, “GXChain focuses on public credit, but Streamr provide real-time trading platform for data security, especially real-time data such as IoT, industrial manufacturing and intelligent driving.”

Coinhot(CHT)

CoinHot is an over-the-counter (OTC) platform for Digital Asset trading. As we all know, they issued a dividend-sharing token named CHT.

Dada, Operation Director of Coinhot, brought us some latest news about the project. Coinhot will carry out deep cooperation with KT, YunEx and Palchain. Further business expansion will reach out to different sectors.

Besides, he also showed great sincerity to have deep cooperation with DragonEx in future. Let’s wait and see!

Insight Chain(INB)

Insight Chain is a decentralized research ecosystem chain based on blockchain.

Jason Ji, CTO of Insight Chain, attended the meetup.

DApp always attracts blockchain lovers’ attention. It was revealed that the first DApp of Insight Chain has launched, with the registered user number of more than 60,000.

In addition, the team is also incubating some potential projects. It is expected that a couple of DApps of Insight Chain will launch within this year, which will also improve the ecosystem of Insight Chain.

Predict(PT)

Predict is the first trends predicting platform based on mining-driven mode.

As the latest incubated project of DragonEx, Predict was on the spotlight..

Dave, Senior Community Manager of Predict, took part in this event. People may be confused about what is the difference between the blockchain-based Predict and traditional predictions. As to this, Dave explained that Predict has several plus points that makes it standing out in this competitive prediction market, which are low standard of participation, short duration of prediction, easy access to the game, original predicting mining model as well as deflationary token-burn mechanism.

It was said that the Predict app will come out soon, and they will also invite some users to take part in the close beta test, which will be carried out in the October.

Palchain(PALT)

Palchain is the world’s first one-to-one video social platform based on Blockchain technology.

Candy Wang, Senior Operation Manager of Palchain, shared some latest news about the project with us. Famous for its “Consumption Is Reward” model, Palchain community gives 80% of its income back to PALT holders, distributing it in proportion to the composition. However, the situation is being different. “We have recently made a big adjustment, because we are aware that the earnings distributed by the consumption-mining is proportional to the average token price. High token release makes users’ earnings low and project undervalued, which runs counter to the principle of Palchain — User comes first. Thus, we discussed with our communities, having a bunch of meetings inside the team, and now we’ve decided to stop mining and burn some unissued token.”

Everpedia(IQ)

As it is showed on the home page of Everipedia — “The world’s first encyclopedia of blockchain”, it perfectly describes Everipedia, which creatively integrates blockchain technology with encyclopedia.

Kevin Wang, who’s responsible for Everipedia’s Chinese market, said, “The advantage of Everipedia, the world’s first encyclopedia of blockchain, is that it is one of the few projects in the blockchain community that has mature products and a large number of users. We are not only followed by user of blockchain industry, but also by encyclopedia fans.”

Kevin believes that Everipedia will challenge the traditional encyclopedia giant, Wikipedia. “Everipedia will impact wikipedia, and it will evolve into a whole new ecosystem, with the potential for a blended Facebook+Wikepedia experience in the future.” said Kevin Wang.

Time New Bank(TNB)

TNB is the token of M.I.T. MiaoA International Timechain (M.I.T) is a precision time-value transmission network which enables the valuation of the time assets belonging to individuals and/or corporations.

It sounds like a very new and complicated concept. “In a word, we are realizing the trading of individuals’ time.” said Ji Xiaowu, Senior Consultant of TNB.

The idea of time exchange really aroused people’s interest. Ji shared his opinion on this issue, “Generally speaking, time has many common features with blockchain, such as irreversibility, untampering, fairness, transparency, and non-central control. Each person’s time is limited and corresponds to a certain value, which is evaluated by the person’s qualifications, knowledge, experience, expertise, brand, etc., much like the value assessment behind a blockchain project today. The return value corresponding to each person’s time is very similar to the value transmission of the blockchain, and may change the existing value definition of time to discover the real value of each individual.Ultimately maximize the value of your time.”

Nuls(NULS)

As it is described on the website — adaptable blockchain for enterprise solutions, Nuls is an open-source, community-driven public blockchain platform, which has a modular-based architecture with different modules that include, but is not limited to, smart contracts, the multichain system, cross-chain consensus.

“Our goal is to build a blockchain module warehouse covering 80% of the underlying technology of blockchain. It is convenient for developers to use the module warehouse to customize the public blockchain or alliance blockchain according to the business scenario. Besides, the performance parameters of these chains and the consensus algorithm are all optional.” said Reaper Ran, the co-founder of Nuls, “What we are doing is making it possible that ordinary people can also create his own blockchain easily.”

What a brilliant idea Nuls is!

CyberMiles(CMT)

CyberMiles aims to be a next-generation blockchain optimized for e-commerce and designed for mainstream adoption.

Curson, who’s responsible for domestic operation of CyberMiles, shared some latest news about the project. It started with the progress in technical aspect. The mainnet of CyberMiles has developed completely and CyberMiles will swap from ERC20 to its mainnet recently. As to the ecosystem building, 3 e-commerce applications are available now and will also swap to the mainnet, along with CyberMiles.

Traceability Chain(TAC)

“We hope to, basing on the technology of block chain, adopting unique non-tamper distributed ledger characteristics of the block chain, build the traceability cloud platform.” This is how TAC team describe Traceability Chain on their website.

Traceablility is not a new concept, however, when it comes to blockchain-based traceability, thing’s different. So what is the advantage of Traceability Chain?

“Information is unmodifiable and traceable, making blockchain a natural place for anti-counterfeiting traceability.” said Sun Yangyang from TAC team, “The 300 billion market, the rigid demand and the few participants seem to be our opportunities for the time being.”

DragonEx(DT)

As we all know, DragonEx is a community-driven trading platform, which is famous for its dividends-sharing feature. With the increasing total volume of DT in circulation, the token is also inflating. Thus, DragonEx published a deflation plan for DT recently.

Finn Zhang, CEO of DragonEx, shared some project progress with us.

“DT deflation plan is what we are mainly working on recently. In the design stage of DT trading-mining model, it is clear that DT, as a platform token, will encounter a bottleneck between the constant growth of circulating volume and the target growth of trading volume, while a certain scale of circulating volume is also a necessary prerequisite for the platform token to carry and develop.”said Finn, Zhang.

He also mentioned that DragonEx is pushing on the development of investor education in this bearish period which results in the establish of DragonEx Academy.

As to the development strategy, Finn revealed that it was expected that the European license would come out soon, very likely within this October, which indicates that DragonEx is reaching its business out to the Europe market, making a great progress in the international business development.
