Crypti.me is a blockchain 2.0 technology dedicated to allowing fast, easy, and cost effective deployment of decentralized applications (Dapps). By utilizing Node.js and incorporating consensus, hosting, storage, and compute modules into the core technology, along with a custom built decentralized application store, Crypti is able to provide a complete solution for the entire Dapp development cycle. Below is our interview with Crypti Foundation member, Max Kordek:

Q: Max, tell us please what is Crypti?

A: Crypti is a blockchain based cryptocurrency that has been built from the ground up, using completely new source code. This gives Crypti the advantage of taking from the many important lessons learned by other cryptocurrencies, while at the same time, providing a uniquely fresh perspective on how a cryptocurrency can be secured, and what can be done with it.

In contrast to Bitcoin and Ethereum, which both use proof-of-work based “mining” to secure their blockchain. The Crypti network is instead, secured by means of a delegated proof-of-stake consensus model. Where a total of 101 democratically elected delegates, consecutively “forge” blocks of transactions, each receiving an equal share of a 0.1% network wide transaction fee.

As a result, Crypti is a highly efficient network, with predictable block times of only 10 seconds. Delegates are able to forge and support the network, using very little processing power, and an ultra low memory footprint. So instead of requiring huge mining farms, churning through electricity and harming the environment like there is no tomorrow. Crypti is able to run on much smaller and less powerful devices, like the Raspberry Pi and other ARM based devices.

In addition to being a cryptocurrency, Crypti is a decentralized application (dapp) platform. One that provides a “full stack” solution for deploying decentralized applications onto the blockchain. Applications are written in the programming language, JavaScript, and operate within a sandboxed Node.js runtime environment. Every decentralized application (dapp) on the Crypti network has its own uniquely customizable blockchain, and like its parent Crypti, can be secured by 101 elected master nodes.

Developers are able to publish their decentralized applications (dapps) for consumption, onto the official Crypti Dapp Store. Giving consumers a familiar if not superior user experience, they have come to expect from existing centralized solutions, currently dominating the market.

For the progressive startup looking for the perfect platform on which to launch their first decentralized applications (dapps). Crypti is by far the quickest to deploy, and also the most democratic solution currently in existence.

Q: Tell us something more about the Crypti Foundation?

A: The Crypti Foundation is a collective of cryptocurrency enthusiasts, developers, entrepreneurs and user-experience engineers. We maintain the development of the core protocol, its desktop and server based clients, and actively maintain the various development tools and documentation, used by developers to build Crypti based decentralized applications.

Despite being geographically dispersed, our core goals and motivations are all tightly focused on building a brighter future for Crypti, and decentralized application technology, in its entirety.

We additionally take care of public relations and marketing, spreading the word, holding contests (like our ongoing Dapp Development Contest), and also maintain our social media, forum and web presences.

Q: What is the Crypti Dapp Store? How does it work?

A: The Crypti Dapp Store is a portal for accessing all the decentralized applications, currently running on the Crypti network. Similar to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Users are provided with a user interface, that presents dapps in a categorized fashion, allowing dapps to be launched easily and immediately, at the click of a button.

We believe our Dapp Store has some huge advantages over existing implementations. It gives developers an easy to deploy, and non-intrusive distribution method. Plus, consumers can find and use dapps in much the same manner they are accustomed to, while taking comfort in the knowledge, that every dapp is backed by the provably secure, Crypti blockchain.

Q: More generally, how do you see the cryptocurrency landscape developing, and where do you place yourself in the industry?

A: In my opinion the current alternative cryptocurrency landscape (i.e. not Bitcoin) is in a big winter, but with a huge positive outlook for the future. One year ago new cryptocurrencies were popping up like mushrooms, every other day there was a new one. Often with a great vision, collecting hundreds of Bitcoin for development. Many of them ended up being either simply scams or vaporware.

As a consequence, there is a generally bad atmosphere surrounding alternative cryptocurrencies. Everyone believes they are mostly scams, or that they aren’t serious in what they are doing. But in reality it is very different, there are some really great teams out there, developing some truly awesome technology.

To name a few: Crypti, Sia, Nxt, Dash, BitShares, CounterParty.

In my opinion once this winter as I call it, is over. The people will look to invest more into the alternative market again, and we will see a big shift towards this sector. It will take much more time and effort, but eventually our time will come.

Crypti has positioned itself within this harsh industry with some serious intent and focus. Our aim foremost, is to be a decentralized application (dapp) platform, rather a cryptocurrency. We believe that it’s very hard to kick Bitcoin from the currency throne, and may not even be necessary. Crypti provides some truly groundbreaking technology, and thus, helps developers who want to develop decentralized applications, do it quickly and easily. Crypti offers an all-round package for this rapidly growing market, so for this reason alone, I believe we are positioned very strongly.

Q: What are your plans? What can we expect from your team in the next six months?

A: After the release of Crypti v0.5.2, or as we call it internally: Gaia, we are set to take over the decentralized application market. The next months we are concentrating on refining our product, making it mass-market ready and delivering some currently missing features.

To give a few examples:

– Further improvements to the dapp store, such as the ability for developers to quickly update existing dapps, without the need for any lengthy verification process.

– Support for multiple languages in all our clients, to cater for a more diverse audience.

– Mobile apps, to enable dapps to be run from Android/iOS devices.

Besides tech, we also want to grow our dapp developer base. Naturally our product will stand or fall by the dapps available on the platform. So, in order to give developers an incentive, we are running a Dapp Development Contest until February, 2016. The contest gives JavaScript developers, the unique opportunity to showcase their talents, and the potential of winning thousands of dollars worth of Crypti’s own cryptocurrency (XCR). By running this contest, we are hoping to see some really exciting submissions, ones that will demonstrate the immense possibilities, and sheer power of our newly released decentralized applications (dapps) platform.
