Ethereum ecological foundation

1.

Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function. It provides decentralized virtual machine (Ethereum virtual machine) to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency ether (also known as "Ethereum")

The token on the

blockchain is called ether, and the code is eth. It can be traded in many foreign exchange markets of cryptocurrency, and it is also the medium used to pay transaction fees and computing services on Ethereum

the concept of Ethereum was first proposed by vitalik buterin, a programmer, from 2013 to 2014, inspired by bitcoin, with the general meaning of "next generation cryptocurrency and decentralized application platform", and began to develop through ICO crowdfunding in 2014. As of February 2018, Ethernet is the second highest cryptocurrency in market value, second only to bitcoin

extended data:

Ethereum platform has no characteristics and value. Like programming languages, it's up to entrepreneurs and developers to decide what to use. However, it is clear that some application types benefit more from the functions of Ethereum than others. Ethereum is especially suitable for those applications that automatically interact directly between points or promote group coordination activities across networks

for example, coordinate the application of point-to-point market, or the automation of complex financial contracts. Bitcoin enables indivials to exchange money without the help of financial institutions, banks or governments. The impact of Ethereum may be more profound

in theory, any complex financial activities or transactions can be automatically and reliably carried out on Ethereum with coding. In addition to financial applications, any application scenario with high requirements for trust, security and persistence, such as asset registration, voting, management and Internet of things, will be affected by Ethereum platform on a large scale

2.

Ethereum Community Foundation (ECF) is a non-profit organization. Its original idea was to give community projects a bonus to support incubation of early projects and research. Then in 2018, omisego, Golem, status, maker, Web3 (Polkadot), cosmos and ef (Ethereum Fund) were set up in Tokyo as consultants

ECF 2.0 is the upgrade of ECF, which has two core goals:

< UL >

coordinate community relations through various harmonious ways, such as bonus, strategic and business support, and community activities

in order to become an open capital network, ECF emphasizes its initial vision, which is to form a network with various funds to realize the support and contribution to the community

In addition, ECF 2.0 upgrade will not only support non-profit infrastructure projects, ecation programs, instrial community activities, but also support application and tool development, and even commercial projects

3. In fact, the rise and fall of digital currency is a normal situation. The key is to see whether you are optimistic about its long-term value. Relatively speaking, if the long-term value is worth investing in, then the short-term decline can be ignored. At the same time, if you don't know much about digital currency users, it is recommended to choose a reliable and good platform for investment. The investment period needs more than six years, Word of mouth should always be good, you can take a look at AEX, fire coin these two, but also more reliable, you can also understand their own network first

4. Whether a currency is counterfeit depends on whether it meets the basic characteristics of blockchain. Blockchain is divided into public chain and private chain. The public chain is a block chain based on the principle of decentralized open consensus, which has two characteristics: 1. Decentralized, single point can not be controlled; 2; 2. Open, all people or institutions can participate in any part of the blockchain ecology; Private chain or alliance chain is a local decentralized and non open block chain based on internal or self trust. It has two characteristics: 1. Local decentralization. For example, several banks run one node and have equal computing power; 2. In closed operation, only officially designated participants can participate in the core work of blockchain operation, and even block queries are limited or not open to the outside world at all; Ethereum started as a community project and is still on the road of decentralization. However, Ethereum chooses to become more and more decentralized and public chain like bitcoin. At present, Qube is the largest trading platform of Ethereum in China, followed by oke, and the trading volume of bitmex abroad is not small. Its recognition is second only to BTC.

OAS is the world's first blockchain environmental protection technology and energy management system issued by oases. It is jointly released and established by Singapore oases foundation and EPC foundation of the United States. It aims to solve the problem of how to rece environmental pollution, rece energy consumption and monitor emissions worldwide by using blockchain technology and combining with real economy instry, And the collection of environmental big data and other issues to provide a perfect solution to build a more environmentally friendly and energy-saving world
in comparison, although OAS is later than Ethereum, its innovative combination of blockchain and environmental protection has a better development prospect.

6. What are the connections between the blockchain and the foundation and what problems will they encounter?
when many people are doing blockchain, they usually register a foundation to run with ordinary companies. Compared with Singapore foundation, what are the common problems when they register a Singapore foundation to do blockchain, Below, we will sort out and share some of our customers' concerns with you
1. Does the registration fee include the cost of the white paper
A: No, the legal adviser is a personalized business, and the fee depends on the project. The legal adviser can provide services in the whole process. Including the revision of the legal provisions of the white paper, and the issue of professional legal opinions on relevant laws and regulations such as the non securities nature of the token. ICO is the legal consultation in the process of issuing currency

2. About the Singapore foundation. Why should there be a company to operate and what is the relationship with the foundation? Why not register a company directly for ICO and exchange docking
A: the foundation is a public welfare organization and a public sector. It is more concive to attract investment and technology development to use the foundation to issue blockchain. It can also be directly ICO through ordinary companies. It depends on how customers want to operate
3. Isn't ICO a way to raise funds?
A: Yes. Participate in the crowdfunding of the project with the existing real value currency, and exchange for the new cryptocurrency issued by the project. The advantage of fundraisers is that they get the funds to carry out the project, while the participants want the project to be successful. In this way, the newly issued cryptocurrency in their hands is likely to appreciate and arbitrage. The so-called ICO means that investors use bitcoin and other ready-made virtual digital currencies to exchange for new tokens issued by ICO projects. Because there are few new currency owners and the price fluctuates greatly, the selling price on the exchange is likely to be much higher than the issuing price. The sponsors of ICO project use the traditional digital currency to exchange RMB and other legal currencies in the exchange, and then put them into the designated technical projects
4. Why not raise funds through common channels
A: the threshold of common channels is low, and there is no regulatory department. The risk is high
5. How to set up an exchange
A: you can choose an exchange according to your own situation. Generally, you should have strong experience in digital asset security management. There are many platforms
6. Why do you need to make a legal opinion
according to Singapore's financial law and securities law, if a virtual currency with securities nature needs to apply for a special financial license, so it needs to prove that the project does not contain securities nature, it needs a lawyer to issue a legal opinion on the non securitization of token and a legal opinion on compliance of white paper to prove the legality and compliance of the project, both of which are required by most customers
7. How can a registered Singapore foundation open an account in a bank
first of all, there is no need to open an account for a registered public non-profit foundation, and it is useless to open an account because the nature of the foundation itself is non-profit. When it comes to the next year's audit, can't it explain the income and expenditure of the bank account with the monetary authority? Second, the bank has a choice of customers. If the bank is told to do blockchain, the bank will not accept opening an account; Third, whether it's private placement or public offering, all the money raised are virtual currencies like Ethereum bitcoin. Ordinary bank accounts can't accept these currencies, so I don't recommend opening an account in a bank.

7. Sto refers to the issuance of security token. Its full name is security token offer. It is different from 1CO (first token issue) and IFO (first bifurcated issue) that we are familiar with before. It is a kind of issuance of security token under the premise of legal and compliance supervision

explain the terms first and then tell a story. Token and token are actually two translation methods of one thing, namely token, which is based on the points issued by some public chain or other organization (another easy to understand personal translation method of token). Before that, everyone in the circle would send it casually, buy some Ethereum, a set of code, fool around with the white paper, find or create some new terms that they can't understand, and then they can go to earn money. The cost is less than a few dozen yuan, which is called token. Token token, one day, I can replace bitcoin, that's what I mean

however, e to the low threshold of token issuance, the evaluation of a large number of tokens is very negative. Later, it triggered strong supervision, and domestic token issuance and participation activities were stopped. Therefore, in order to get rid of the relationship, a more popular translation method has come out, which is called Tongzheng. Tongzheng Tongzheng is a negotiable warrant

sto is a token of supervision. Through endorsement of certain financial assets or rights and interests in reality, such as stocks, bonds, gold and silver, real estate, rights and interests, investment represents the assets represented by it, which have intrinsic value at the beginning of issuance. At the same time, it also strives to conform to the regulatory framework and be recognized by the securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

8. Since the beginning of 2017, Ethereum Asia Pacific Ltd and litecoin Foundation Ltd, the representative projects of blockchain, have successively set up public Guarantee Co., Ltd. in Singapore as a non-profit foundation to manage the global community operation of their open source projects, and many token issuance projects have followed similar practices, Come to Singapore to register a similar structure and operate token issuance
one company name and two registrants' ID cards are required to register the Singapore non-profit public foundation

9. In the digital currency circle, there are bitcoin foundation, Ethereum foundation, Ethereum classic foundation and dogcoin foundation. These are basically semi official, responsible for maintenance and technology development
as for BLC digital money fund, which is the mainstream currency circle, it does not exist, let alone is unreliable, so it is recommended to stay away from it. It is suggested that we pay attention to bitcoin, lightcoin, DCT and other mainstream digital currencies.
