The internet is undoubtedly one of the most interesting invention of man. In about three-decade it has transformed our society in ways we cannot possibly fathom, it has transformed how we do business, how we connect socially, how we share information etc. Cova is a blockchain based project that wants to use the smart contract to create a protocol that is going to make the internet more secure and smarter. I believe the question you will be asking right now is how will they achieve this, well, lemme walk you through the whole process.

Cova is combining both hardware and software to build a smart policy platform. The hardware is made up of Trusted Execution Environment nodes which provides scalable amount of computing power and this layer ensures the upper layer have access to wider tools for policy definition. The software is the upper layer which comprises of Policy Specification Language (PSL) that specifies data usage policies in programming language and a Policy Enforcement Framework (PEF) that enforces the PSL through code. CovaVM a Policy Enforcement Framework that executes the policy written in Centrifuge. CovaVM can be likened to Ethereum VM. The above paragraph gives an overview of the process Cova is employing for more detailed information check out their whitepaper.

The success of Cova protocol means smarter and secured internet, here are few scenario indicating the outcome of smart contract- based internet protocol. credit card number can only be used once for a one-time payment. It will be erased from the server after the payment is completed. social media photo may only be used individually and not be processed by facial recognition. chat messages can only be viewed after a specified time. that an e-book can only be shared 15 times. etc.

Currently, Cova has released their public testnet, code-named COVA-Nyx. Using COVA-Nyx users can easily write privacy preserving DApps using python, get more details here they ran a benchmark on their public testnet with few hundred nodes perform about 30–100X faster than Ethereum network. They are currently listed on houbi.

they have also secured a partnership with tera.

With Cova smart contract protocol the internet will go through series of innovation that will usher us into an era of smart internet and since the blockchain is a trusted machine the security of the internet will be managed by the data themselves.
