Elastos - Internet operating system focusing on re-decentralizing the Internet with blockchain to secure identity.







Utilizing the Internet as the base-layer infrastructure rather than as an application, the Elastos approach emphasizes that network communications should be separated from application computing, and prohibits apps from direct access to the network to prevent viruses and other malicious attacks such as DDoS.

Elastos is an open source system with over 4 million lines of original source code, and has received significant investment from the Foxconn Group, NEO, and other industry giants for its research and development. Elastos runtime has a pioneering, service-oriented architecture designed ideally for containers/virtual machines.

Supporting programming in C/C++, Java, and HTML/JS, Elastos facilitates the new generation of universal apps running anywhere, including AR/VR headsets, IoT gateways, PCs, and cloud servers. Elastos is decentralized across the internet, and utilizes blockchains to authenticate user IDs, application IDs and machine IDs. All smart contracts and DApps are executed on auxiliary blockchains, which are app-level functionalities placed on top of the Elastos network OS.

Elastos focuses on a new internet that is secure, credible, and smart. Apps cannot connect directly to the foundational internet layer or endanger it in any way. Blockchain disruption of third parties enables transparency for apps, IoT participants, and IP. The idea of Elastos to create a digital smart economic zone in which it will be possible to use the following:

Blockchain & Smart Contract – transactions and smart contracts creation;

– transactions and smart contracts creation; Elastos Carrier – a completely decentralized P2P network platform, serving for DApp development and operation. The set of foundational services will include decentralized domain names, decentralized computation, and decentralized storage.

The set of foundational services will include decentralized domain names, decentralized computation, and decentralized storage. Elastos Runtime – a lightweight operating system that prevents applications and services from directly accessing the Internet. Elastos OS will be for both mobile and PC, but it can be emulated in iOS, Android, Windows, Linux just thanks to Elastos Runtime. Elastos OS will be suitable for IoT.

Elastos Browser - a specialized browser where the Elastos Runtime is embedded. In this browser, web applications can be run with partial Elastos functions.

Elastos prevents overload of the main chain by having a few predefined sidechains built into the Elastos Carrier platform. Elastos coordinates with strategic partners (BITMAIN, AntPool) for merged bitcoin mining, which means its blockchain features strong computing capability. Elastos is also compatible with NEO blockchain, NEO founder Da Hongfei is an advisor and backer of the Elastos project.

The Elastos blockchain utilizes merged mining with Bitcoin and consensus is reached on both chains simultaneously. Energy consumption does not increase. Such a consensus principle will only be used in the main chain, which will be responsible for the ELA trade. All other smart contracts and DApps will be on the sidechains, they can be utilizes merged mining with Bitcoin too, but will be more scalable.

Developers can earn ELA tokens by creating social apps, video games, marketplaces, search engines and other applications. Holders can use ELA tokens to register an ID in Elastos and use this ID to purchase items such as DApps, cloud storage, and many other resources, including other digital products and so on. Users can also invest in ICO projects and products with ELA tokens within Elastos.
