The Hybrid Network is a global developer community dedicated to the growth of decentralized, distributed and open source projects. There are no formal requirements to join. All you need to do is contribute. For more details check out our Hello, World_ Mission Statement.

The Hybrid Network’s primary focus is the technical maturation of the space. All decisions that we make on how we operate, including project selection, are based on this guiding principle. During our evaluation process, we primarily consider two criteria: impact and novelty. Our aim is to take steps (if not leaps) forward in features and functionality that will positively impact distributed ledger technology. Why do what everyone else is already doing?

Our first project — Hx matches these guiding principles. It constitutes an opportunity for the Hybrid Network to make a significant impact and build novel technology. There is a large, existing community throughout Asia, and we perceive this as an opportunity for progression within the decentralized and distributed space.

What makes Hx unique?

Interoperability, or the means to transition back and forth efficiently between existing distributed ledgers through bridges and relays. For the space to mature and move towards mass adoption, interoperability between ledgers will be a critical enabling component so that function can be leveraged as seamlessly as possible with as little end user interaction as possible.

Post quantum cryptographic scheme to protect assets from quantum attacks; Hx incorporates a lattice-based signature scheme.

A side or accompanying DAG (Direct Acyclic Graph) that can provide much faster throughput.

We are thrilled to have worked on the first functioning quantum resistant signature scheme deployed on a blockchain, ahead of similar projects. We will go into more detail on this, as well as other topics in subsequent articles. Stay tuned by following our publication on Medium.
