The distributed ledger technology, better known as blockchain, is considered the most disruptive tech in decades. It has the potential to eliminate enormous amounts of recordkeeping, save money and disrupt IT in ways never seen since the arrival of the internet. Based on its distributed, peer-to-peer topology where data is stored globally on thousands of servers, it's virtually impossible for one entity to game the system or to gain control over network. As it is the case with any other idea in our times, Blockchain is following the same trajectory of development where initially there are innovators followed by few early adopters and then come the early and late majority. In recent times the disruptive technologies like personal computers and laptops, mobile phones and even the internet itself have followed the same trajectory of development. But with each and every passing year and development of new technologies and platforms the time between early innovation and adoption by large majority has shrunk significantly. For Blockchain we are currently at the stage of early adopters. And this development is not without its challenges. Some may argue that we are already at the stage of adoption by early majority, from the looks of crypto market capitalization of around half a trillion dollars in 2017 makes a strong case for that. But the crypto market capitalization and its underlying technology of blockchain is unlike most digital platforms on the market as it is not an idea of doing a business, rather it is something that will change the way people conduct business forever. The hidden potential of blockchain, if and when unleashed will dwarf the market capitalization of half a trillion dollars. Already corporate giants like Allianz, BMW, Siemens are looking for ways to leverage this technology for their products. It is just the beginning. Everything for Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies is not smooth sailing from here onwards. There are challenges- some really big challenges. The success of this technology will be dependent on the speed and the efficiency with which these challenges are solved.
The energy use, limited quantum of transactions per second, development in cryptology and quantum computing are just to name a few challenges. Just as the application of Blockchain is in wide ranging areas from supply chain to food security, resultantly development in a vast number of fields also impact the time for its adoption. For this reason, there is a need for one platform, which collects, curates and disseminates the information regarding all the relevant developments globally in wide array of fields which can potentially impact the speed of adoption of Blockchain or cryptocurrencies. Chryp.to hopes to fill that gap. The aim of Chryp.to is not only to present that information to its readers base but to also identify and present opportunities which can speed up the development and adoption of the said technology.
The product is the Chryp.to network & platform, built to bring the Crypto world closer together & and to boost the adoption of blockchain applications. The following current and upcoming features are the first steps towards a holistic crypto & blockchain platform that serves all needs – for newbies, startups, developers, journalists, investors & traders.
