Crypto projects DigiByte and Quantstamp will both be making appearances at the Breakthrough Blockchain Event in Pittsburgh today.

Breakthrough Blockchain state to be an event bringing together technology, business, and the public to create a synergy, unlike any other blockchain conference.

The two-day event showcases investing experts, blockchain scholars, and industry insiders.

On their website they state their purpose being:

“Breakthrough is a foundation centered around bringing together technology, business, and the public to create knowledge, awareness, and support for blockchain technology. Our foundation is purposed with the task of creating opportunities for supporting blockchain innovation in the Pittsburgh area and the surrounding region.”

Some of their founding members include Jared Tate- DigiByte founder and Jedidiah Taylor- founder and CEO of Decent.Bet.

Digibyte (DGB) is one of the most advanced difficulty stability of any blockchain in the world, and most importantly, has protection from malicious attacks. By using cryptographic mining algorithms to prevent mining centralization it has been designed to have the fastest block speed on the UTXO blockchain.

Despite the progressive features, it had struggled to ignite any considerable interest until John Macfee’s tweet bought much more attention, causing its market capitalization to hit $1 billion in January 2018. The price hovered around $0.03 and later moved to $0.06 before finally hitting $0.13 in January.

Many DigiByte enthusiasts still don’t believe the current price is an accurate reflection of real value and believe future exponential growth is a certainty.

Quantstamp (QSP) is a project that is developing a blockchain based smart contract auditing protocol, launching to great fanfare in 2017.

The project has already completed numerous audits, and the QuantStamp betanet for the decentralized, blockchain based scanning tool is already live to scan smart contracts in real-time.
