DigiByte uses a total of five proof-of-work algorithms to secure the blockchain and reduce the risk of double spending or [51% attacks](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/51-attack). Difficulty adjustments ensure resilience against hostile moves within mining circles, with DigiByte claiming to have the most advanced such difficulty setup among cryptocurrencies. With roughly one block every 15 seconds, DigiByte’s blockchain has managed to prove the longevity of its PoW blockchain since launch, now having a much longer chain of PoW than, for example, Bitcoin.

DigiByte (DGB) is a [proof-of-work](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake) (PoW) cryptocurrency, and miners earn tokens for validating blocks via block rewards. In January 2014, 0.5% of the total DGB supply (105 million coins) was premined. 50% of the premine was reserved for development purposes, while the remainder was given away. DGB has a hard supply cap of 21 billion tokens, with mining forming an emission curve with decreasing issuance — the block reward reduces by 1% each month. DigiByte has stated that it purposely did not try to raise funds or give away tokens through instruments such as an initial coin offering ([ICO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-coin-offering-ico)) or similar token sale.

DigiByte is a modification of Bitcoin which aims to diversify security, speed and capacity possibilities. Its first incarnation was as an open source blockchain and associated cryptocurrency, DGB. The network has five separate algorithms which help to maintain security and help prevent [ASIC](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/asic) miners from commandeering too much power. Later, another offering, DigiAssets, appeared, with DGB as its native token. DigiAssets appeals to those developers looking to launch digital assets, decentralized applications ([DApps](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-applications-dapps)) and encode the necessary corresponding smart contracts. All governance structures for DigiByte are run on a voluntary basis, in line with the thesis that the network should be open source and publicly accessible. Transaction fees in DGB are paid to [miners](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/how-long-does-it-take-to-mine-one-bitcoin) for validating the blockchain.

DigiByte was created by Jared Tate, also known as “DigiMan,” who oversaw its metamorphosis from development to its current setup before announcing that he was temporarily retiring from his position in May 2020. Tate has since returned, and as of September 2020 once again appears closely involved with DigiByte’s growth. Tate’s biography states that he was involved with Bitcoin from 2012 onwards, and authored the first book written by a blockchain founder, “Blockchain 2035: The Digital DNA of Internet 3.0.” DigiByte’s operations depend not only on developers, but also the DigiByte Foundation, a volunteer organization tasked with overseeing preservation of the project. A third group of volunteers, the DigiByte Awareness Team, is responsible for marketing and promotional activities.

DigiByte (DGB) is an open source [blockchain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/blockchain) and asset creation platform. Development began in October 2013 and the [genesis block](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/genesis-block) of its DGB token was mined in January 2014 as a fork of [Bitcoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/) (BTC). A longstanding public blockchain and cryptocurrency, DigiByte uses five different algorithms to improve security, and originally aimed to improve on the Bitcoin blockchain’s security, capacity and transaction speed. DigiByte consists of three layers: a smart contract “App Store,” a public ledger and the core protocol featuring nodes communicating to relay transactions.

BORA is available on [Upbit](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/upbit/), [Bithumb](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bithumb/), and [Coinone](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/coinone/).

After its update to Bora 2.0, Bora migrated from a [proof-of-authority](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-authority-poa) to a [PBFT](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/byzantine-fault-tolerance-bft) [consensus mechanism](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism), resolving many of the issues faced by other consensus mechanisms like [proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos) or [proof-of-work](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-work-pow). Bora is theoretically infinitely expandable. If necessary, additional blockchains can be built on top of the current core layer blockchain that serves as the settlement layer for transactions on Bora. Thus, each independent side chain on Bora offers potentially 2,200 transactions per second, which opens up potential further use cases in industries beyond gaming.

BORA is the blockchain’s native token with a [total supply](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/total-supply) of 1.325 billion. The distribution of BORA is as follows: * Token sale: 40% * Reserve: 20% * Ecosystem: 25% * Team & Advisors: 15% BORA can be exchanged for the blockchain’s internal Bora points, which are used as a reward currency for content providers, event management, and to incentivize games. Bora Points can be exchanged without friction to the BORA token, which can then be traded on various exchanges. BORA used to be an [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token but migrated to the [Klaytn](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/klaytn/) blockchain because of the latter’s focus on gaming and metaverse applications.

Bora is a blockchain with high [cross-chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/cross-chain) [interoperability](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/interoperability) that works with different layers to increase its security, scalability, and reliability. For game developers, Bora is interesting because of its easy-to-navigate API and web interface and full interoperability within its ecosystem. Bora also provides developers and content creators with infrastructure to manage and retain users, such as the Bora point system that integrates with its BORA token. The three layers of the Bora blockchain are the application layer, the service layer, and the core layer. The core layer is the blockchain’s bottom layer that supports the ecosystem’s infrastructure and data network. The core layer also supports the settlement of the Bora points. Its code is modeled after Ethereum, and both uses a [proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos) [consensus mechanism](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism). The service layer houses the APIs and software development kits that integrate with content and applications built for Bora. The Bora chain explorer is located on the service layer and allows tracking of all BORA token movements. Bora’s BORA ATOLL software development kit offers developers a tool to manage and design applications for Bora. The final layer is the application layer, with which end users interact. It hosts all the content for the Bora ecosystem, as well as the asset management platform Bora app. The app provides token exchange functions alongside access to free content applications. This dual-layer blockchain structure offers an attractive solution to game developers that do not want to build on other blockchains. Bora’s modular structure also means that developers can easily test and develop projects on its blockchain before taking them to other chains. For instance, Bora’s transaction throughput at 2,200 TPS is significantly faster than that of even low-gas fee chains like [BNB Chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/binance-coin/).

Bora was launched by a Korean team of blockchain and mobile development experts. CEO Gyehan Song is an experienced game developer with over 20 years in the field and experience at Samsung Electronics under his belt. The company’s CSO Key Yune also has 20 years of experience with developing online desktop and mobile games, during which he had created several titles, highly popular in Korea. CTO Igoo Lee is an infrastructure operations manager with experience in building the infrastructure of games like Crossfire and FIFA Online. Finally, Kyoungwook Cheon serves as the project’s VP of Engineering and is a former computer engineer and founder of the Free Chal game portal in 2000. The team has also built partnerships with more than 30 companies in the blockchain and gaming space, among them companies like ENP Games, UNIT5, Supertree, Neon Games, and Emong, educational consultant RS Edu, digital healthcare service provider Hurray Positive and grid address platform Infoseed.

[Bora](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bora/) is a decentralized ecosystem for games and entertainment. Bora aims to attract games and applications from the [GameFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/gamefi) sector to its Bora Chain to avoid building on blockchains like [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) that have high [gas](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/gas) fees. For that reason, Bora follows a two-tiered blockchain system: the BORA token is traded on the [Klaytn](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/klaytn/) blockchain, a public blockchain that is focused on metaverse and gaming use cases. The Bora chain is a modular blockchain that can be used as an execution layer by decentralized applications. The Bora team provides development toolkits that support developers with creating decentralized applications for its ecosystem. It also utilizes Bora Points, a currency within the ecosystem as a resource for development and to incentivize contribution to Bora. Bora Points can subsequently be converted to the BORA token.

Numeraire is growing in popularity, as the hedge fund performs better, and more data scientists are participating in the weekly tournament. If you are looking to trade NMR, there are a number of exchanges now offering the token. [Coinbase Pro](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/coinbase-pro/) has the highest trading volume for NMR/USD as of February 2021. Other relevant exchanges with high trading volumes include [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/binance/), [DigiFinex](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/digifinex/), and [Bilaxy](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bilaxy/). [Read more](https://coinmarketcap.com/how-to-buy-bitcoin/) about buying crypto here.

As an [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token, NMR is secured by the Ethereum proof-of-stake ([PoS](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos)) consensus mechanism. This means that validators and block creators are selected based on the amount of NMR tokens they are currently staking. ERC-20 tokens are becoming increasingly popular as they offer higher versatility in terms of use. However, the Ethereum blockchain still provides the same level of protection as blockchains operating with other security protocols. Unlike other popular consensus mechanisms like proof-of-work ([PoW](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-work-pow)), PoS does not rely on high consumption of electrical or computing power to create new tokens. This makes the consensus much more scalable and easily incorporated in different use cases.

The maximum supply of NMR is 11,000,000 tokens. The supply cap for Numeraire was initially 21 million tokens; however, the platform announced that it is going to cut this maximum by more than half in 2019. In a 2018 press release, Numerai announced that three million NMR tokens will remain locked until 2028, and will be released as a reward incentive for tournament participants. The Numeraire token did not undergo an initial coin offering ([ICO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-an-ico)). Instead, Numerai decided to distribute 1 million NMR tokens among 12,000 platform users with the highest activity statistics. NMR tokens are burned on a weekly basis, as tournament participants who venture losing models and predictions lose their stake in the competition.

Numerai and the Numeraire token are unique in terms of the idea behind their creation. This is reportedly the first cryptocurrency to be created and released by a hedge fund. One of the main benefits of the NMR token is that it is awarded to data scientists whose models perform well in the Numerai tournament. This means that the token becomes more valuable as more people enter the tournament and start competing. Not only that, but the models ventured for the tournament allow Numerai to actively participate in stock market trading based on the results revealed by participating projects. This innovative approach to stock trading makes Numerai one of the few hedge funds to rely significantly on AI-generated data predictions.

Richard Craib is the founder and CEO of Numerai. He graduated from the University of Cape Town in 2008 and later acquired one more bachelor’s degree from Cornell University, and spent a year in UC Berkeley. His professional career started with founding Numerai and has taken him to a Forbes 30 under 30 designee position. Richard Craib is often cited for his innovative approach to hedge fund management and the revolutionary idea to rely so heavily on artificial intelligence for stock price prediction. Not only that, Numerai has created one of the largest global data science tournaments.

Numerai is an [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/)-based platform allowing developers and data scientists to experiment and create machine learning models with improved reliability. The platform’s main goal is to bring decentralization to the data science field and allow developers to compete in creating effective machine learning prediction models. Founded in late 2015 in San Francisco, Numerai claims to be the first hedge fund to launch a cryptocurrency on the market. Unlike traditional hedge funds, however, Numerai relies on the data and predictions produced by tournament participants to participate in the stock market. They claim to be the first hedge fund to use machine learning so heavily in its investment strategy.

The easiest way to obtain VVS is to buy it directly through [VVS Finance](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/vvs-finance/). VVS tokens are also available at numerous crypto exchanges, including: [Crypto.com Exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/crypto-com-exchange/), [Gate.io](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/gate-io/), [Bitget](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/bitget/), [Uniswap](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/uniswap-v2/) and more. Download the CMC [mobile app](https://coinmarketcap.com/mobile/) to track prices of VVS in real-time.

VVS Finance (VVS) deployed on the [Cronos](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cronos/) Chain - an [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/)-compatible, decentralized, open-source blockchain developed by the Crypto.com exchange. The VVS token is built in accordance with the [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) compatibility standard. The protocol has been fully audited by [Slowmist](https://docs.vvs.finance/fundamentals/smart-contracts-and-security), a blockchain security firm that offers a range of services, including [smart contract](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) auditing.

VVS is the governance token of the VVS Finance protocol, it also serves as the platform's utility and reward token. VVS is a [Cronos](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/how-to-stake-cronos-cro) Chain token that was deployed as the CRC-20 technical standard. The main function of VVS is to incentivize the liquidity provision to the VVS Finance platform. The distribution of the token is as follows: 50% to the community (30% to farm and mine programs, 2.5% to traders and referrers, 2.5% to market makers, 15% to the community wallet for future initiatives); 23% to the team; 13.5% for network security and maintenance; 13.5% for ecosystem development. The tokenomics of VVS works on the emission model: the team will mint 50 trillion VVS in the first year, and then halve the amount every subsequent year. According to the emissions schedule, a maximum supply of 100 trillion VVS will be gradually reached over 10 years starting from the launch year of 2021.

VVS Finance applies an automated market maker model, meaning that there are no order books or middlemen, but there are liquidity pools, which facilitates transactions between assets on the [DEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex). Some of the key features of VVS Finance include: Liquidity provision. Any user can become a liquidity provider by adding tokens to a [liquidity pool](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-pool). In order to start trading through liquidity pools, users are required to pay swap fees to liquidity providers or LPs (fees are stored in reserves of liquidity pools). LPs receive two-thirds of swap fees (0.2% of the trading volume), while one-third is held in the Treasury of VVS Finance. Bling Swap. The system allows users to swiftly and seamlessly exchange tokens and other AMMs between multiple liquidity pools. The trading fee is 0.3% and is shared between LPs and the platform. Users have the opportunity to earn by providing liquidity. Crystal Farming (Crystal Farm). In Crystal Farms, LPs can earn rewards in the form of VVS tokens for staking LP tokens. However, the rewards from crystal mining (high profit) are only available for a limited period of time. Glitter Mining (Glitter Mine). The feature allows to stake VVS and earn more tokens of partner projects through auto compounding (users place predictions on the coin and earn interest). Initial Gem Offerings (IGOs). The [IDO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/initial-dex-offering) platform on the Cronos blockchain provides users with early access to exclusive token sales of upcoming projects in the ecosystem, while project owners receive cooperation with VVS Finance, a project launch on one of the leading platforms as part of the IGO, as well as an impressive and rapidly growing user base.

VVS Finance was founded by a group of passionate individuals with diverse backgrounds and a shared love for DeFi. Coming from a deep product design background, this team of humble farmers came together with a common mission - to build DeFi products that are accessible to everyone, including their aunts and neighbors. Their ultimate goal is to bring amazing protocols to the masses and make DeFi a simple and enjoyable experience for all users.

VVS Finance (VVS) is an [automated market maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm) (AMM) [DEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex), which claims to be the first AMM on the [Cronos](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cronos/) blockchain. Launched at the end of 2021, VVS stands for "very-very-simple," hence the mission of bringing cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to the mainstream, and make [DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/defi) easy to use. Its ecosystem of products include Bling Swap, Crystal Farms, Glitter Mine, IGO and it offers low fees, and high transaction speeds. With VVS, users gain access to a simplified decentralized protocol where they can be liquidity providers and VVS miners. VVS Finance operates on top of [Cronos](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cronos/) for fast and secure transactions with relatively low fees. Cronos is [EVM](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-compatibility, which creates an EVM-like code execution environment for developers and contributes to the growth of the ecosystem. Cronos also offers [IBC](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/inter-blockchain-communication-ibc) integration to the [Cosmos](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cosmos/) ecosystem.

When it comes to dApps and DeFi projects...the team shouldn’t have the keys. The Keep Network features off-chain containers for private data called keeps that give smart contracts deep interactivity with private data without compromising transparency or auditability. tBTC, the first application built on the Keep Network, is censorship-resistant because it uses keeps to store data. Each TBTC token is fully backed and matched by at least 1 BTC held in reserve. tBTC is trustless, using Keep’s random beacon to select “signers” who are bonded in ETH and have responsibility for the deposited BTC. This means you can convert TBTC to BTC, and vice-versa, whenever you want, with no intermediary needed to sign off.
