Veno is a liquid staking protocol where you can stake your CRO and receive the auto-compounding, yield-bearing receipt token LCRO. The LCRO token is designed to maximize composability. Just by owning LCRO, you automatically accrue the CRO staking yield value in your LCRO token; LCRO can thus be used freely across the Cronos DeFi ecosystem. Veno’s liquid staking token LCRO offers the most extensive, lowest cost, and most reliable method of utilizing your staked CRO. Why Veno? We are a vertically integrated liquid staking protocol, maximizing the reliability and efficiency of our service; allowing us to provide a price-competitive service in the long term; - Cost savings are achieved by leveraging our own node infrastructure and/or infrastructure of our partners - Reliability is achieved with our enterprise-grade node set-up and deep expertise in running node infrastructure - We also have an insurance module that will help to secure user funds in the unlikely event of a slashing penalty We will aim to maximize the adoption and utility of our tokens across the ecosystem, and we are working with some of the largest ecosystem partners to make this happen; - We want to maximize the liquidity of LCRO in the Cronos Ecosystem and beyond, attracting the largest amount of capital, and attaining the lowest spread, with our high reliability and low-fee promises - LCRO is an auto-compounding yield-bearing token to maximize composability - We can further maximize user liquidity by providing a tradeable NFT after user unstakes their CRO VNO is Veno’s native token which can be utilized across the Cronos Ecosystem. VNO has several use cases, including rewards participation and boost farming. For example, users can deposit VNO into different vaults in Reservoir or Fountain to earn additional yields.

DERO is available on [KuCoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/kucoin/), [TradeOgre](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/tradeogre/), [CoinEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/de/exchanges/coinex/) and [ViteX](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/vitex/). If you want to learn more about cryptocurrencies and how to start buying them, you can read more here in our education portal — [Alexandria](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/).

Dero designed its unique and powerful security mechanism. Besides the outlined features, Dero implemented a new mining algorithm called AstroBWT, an open-source proof-of-work consensus mechanism based on one-CPU-one-vote. This consensus mechanism reduces the performance advantage of specialized hardware, preventing the sort of miner oligopoly that Bitcoin suffers from, with miners using [ASICs](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/asic) to mine Bitcoin. This distributes mining rewards more fairly and a consensus is reached by a majority decision via CPU power of its network of nodes. By combining the CryptoNote protocol with DAG, Dero is resistant to hash rate attacks and soft forks without suffering downtime. It is also the fastest CryptoNote-based blockchain deployed.

Dero has a maximum supply of 18.4 million. An initial pre-mine of two million DERO was established on network launch but is not part of the circulating supply. It will be used to finance development and marketing. Dero has a submission rate of 157,000 DERO/year with a smoothly varying block reward. Its block time is at 27 seconds, significantly faster than that of other proof-of-work blockchains, with confirmation time being 4.5 minutes.

Dero was developed from scratch to support millions of users with enhanced reliability, privacy, security and usability. It followed a “build it and they will come” approach in the sense that the team focused on designing working technology first, before focusing on marketing. One of its key features is the utilization of CryptoNote, a protocol that conceals the sender and receiver of a transaction, protecting the identity of all parties involved and ensuring privacy. It is also the first blockchain to have complete SSL in the peer-to-peer layer. This encrypts all its network traffic and conceals it from internet service providers wishing to analyze the traffic. Dero is also the first CryptoNote blockchain to have 75 transactions per second on its native blockchain, not using any scaling solutions like [lightning networks](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/lightning-network). Notably, this is significantly above the roughly five transactions per second Bitcoin achieves. Furthermore, it has ten times faster Bulletproof than normal. Bulletproofs is a cryptographic technique that reduces the space needed for zero-knowledge range proofs. As such, Dero might address use cases that require privacy such as voting services, escrow services, and address certification/verification. Given the team's progress made so far, it established a minimum viable product in August 2018 and plans to launch smart contracts on the mainnet in Q3 2021; Dero can lay a legitimate claim on being one of the top privacy coins on the market.

Dero was launched in December 2017 by a team of three full-time developers. Its team is anonymous but claims to have over a decade of experience in cryptography each, with multiple years of experience in blockchain development on top. Given the project’s complexity and the milestones the team reached — it basically designed an entirely new consensus mechanism in Golang, a programming language with a high degree of immunity to security vulnerabilities — it’s safe to assume that Dero was created by people with long hands-on experience in cryptography.

[Dero](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dero/) is the first crypto project to combine a [proof-of-work](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-work-pow) blockchain with a [DAG](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/directed-acyclic-graph-dag) block structure and wholly anonymous transactions. It aims to be a revolutionary improvement from existing privacy coins like [Monero (XMR)](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/monero/) or [Z-Cash (ZEC)](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/zcash/). Dero intends to do that by combining the best of both [consensus mechanisms](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism). Its implementation builds out a main chain from the DAG network of blocks, which refers to main blocks and side blocks. Side blocks contribute to chain proof-of-work security, making traditional 51% attacks impossible. In contrast to traditional blockchains, Dero considers the transaction as the smallest unit of computation, not the block. Therefore, blocks on Dero can contain duplicate or double-spend transactions, but these are filtered by the client protocol and ignored by the network. In plain English, Dero supposedly manages to combine the security and decentralization of a proof-of-work blockchain with the scalability and transaction speed of DAG technology. Dero’s goal is a blockchain network that can serve businesses and individuals worldwide and support secure, fast, and anonymous transactions and [smart contract](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) execution.

Data is private and encrypted by default, with the option to make data public. Data is only stored on the necessary minimum amount of nodes. Data can be stored on nodes in specific geolocalizations. Aleph.im is compatible with IPFS, meaning that the data gets replicated on aleph.im nodes and on IPFS.

Onchain transaction fees are free for users as long as web dapp teams pay for it, which is a similar business model as web2, where app owners pay cloud providers such as AWS. Onchain transactions are batched, so fees are minimal. Finally, aleph.im provides delegated transactions. These transactions are managed by the network, so there is no need for users to manually resubmit a transaction or adjust its fee.

Aleph.im is a unique blend of onchain and offchain decentralized technologies. Its decentralized network is offchain but can only be interacted with through blockchain networks. This enables key features such as security and advanced crypto-economics. Aleph.im is already compatible with many leading blockchain projects including Ethereum, Polkadot, Cosmos and BinanceChain. This enables any project building on these platforms to integrate with our decentralized database and file storage.. Finally, aleph.im implements a channel mechanism allowing sharding-- subnetworks with all the aleph.im network features. You can think of shards as dedicated cloud clusters.

Our company is located in Paris, France. Our team is distributed across the globe.

Aleph.im was created in 2018 by Jonathan Schemoul, aka Moshe Malawach. Moshe is based in France and has been programming since childhood. Prior to entering the blockchain space, Moshe developed enterprise software across finance, supply chain, and other major industries. He then became a key contributor in the NULS community, building the explorer and the Proof of Credit Mining (POCM) system among other things. Moshe’s abilities to bring tangible business value using blockchain technology is what has made aleph.im what it is today.

Aleph.im is an open-source crosschain network featuring decentralized database including file storage, computing, and a decentralized identity (DID) framework. Aleph.im’s core mission is to help decentralized apps and protocols strip off the centralized parts of their stack, achieving a fully decentralized architecture.

The ownership of the tokenized digital real estate provides gamers with an opportunity to farm and monetize resources, acquire dividends from renting out the plots and receive a share of the project’s revenue. As a sophisticated socio-economical ecosystem League of Kingdoms requires well-thought-out governance to ensure long-term sustainable prosperity. The platform plans to gradually decentralize to [DAO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-a-dao) to guarantee fair distribution of control and value in the community. Despite being centrally controlled at the early stages of development the game intends to achieve full community-led governance with the advancement of the decision-making process infrastructure on the platform. Dragos serve as companions to kingdoms and can participate in a variety of gameplay activities. Presented as [ERC-721](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-721) NFTs on the platform, they will become a foundation for the project’s play-to-earn economy further enhancement. Owning a Drago is a prerequisite for players to be able to earn DST. Both LOKA and DST are required to breed a Drago. DST will also be used to enhance, upgrade, and unlock various in-game utilities.
