Enecuum Code Review of the Blockchain Of Tomorrow

One MILLION transactions per second! Directed Acyclic Hypergraph! PoS PoA PoW! Yeah, this is starting to sound like an episode of Star Trek, not the Enecuum Code Review I'm supposed to do here, but they really up the hyperbole on this one. So let's look at Enecuum (ENQ) code for some answers.

Coda Code Review Of A Constant Sized Blockchain

The Coda code review here examines a protocol that basically aims to keep cryptocurrency decentralized and inexpensive so that blockchain verification is available to anyone. Here we go, decentralization, scalability, security all in one? They claim a "constant-sized blockchain" so let's look at Coda.

Arweave Code Review for Decentralized Storage

Arweave code review by Andre Cronje - investigating this young team's contention that they have 'solved' the problem of permanent data storage using a new blockchain consensus mechanism called 'Proof of Access'. Can the Arweave ICO live up to their bold claims? Maybe so...

Lightstreams Code Review: dApp Speed and Privacy

Lightstreams is a blockchain designed for decentralised applications that require speed and privacy when sharing content. It's built on a modified version of the Ethereum blockchain and purports to solve the problem of data storage. Andre Cronje looks it over in his Lightstreams code review.

Hero Node Code Review by Andre Cronje

Fog computing won't be familiar to everyone, so the Hero Node code review here will be a little out of the ordinary and maybe not as recognizable as some of the code we've looked at together. The Hero Node ICO is currently in whitelist stage. Andre Cronje has mixed feelings.

Fantom ICO Code Review by Andre Cronje

The Fantom ICO preview that we published offers a high-level view of the high-performance blockchain project, so I won't spend too much time talking about the ICO goals and the industries Fantom wants to work within. Today's goal is a code review to see where they're at with their tech progress.

Phantasma Code Review by Andre Cronje

Phantasma wants to do something several people have considered before now: they want to create a decentralized system for emails, and content distribution so that artists can get paid properly, and do it all securely and with encryption and so on and so on. The code review shows little work so far.

bloXroute Technical Review By Andre Cronje

Today, let’s look at bloXroute, a network abstraction layer for blockchains (plural). Their focus is to create an agnostic infrastructure that can be leveraged by all blockchains. They basically claim Immediate 100x scaling. All blockchains. No protocol changes. Provably neutral. Eh? Really? Yep.

Skrumble Network Code Review: Decentralized Comms

Skrumble Network makes a whole bunch of bold claims about its upcoming ICO - but the real question here is "What is this messaging app doing on the blockchain?" In this code review I'm finding that all the evidence points to an unnecessary blockchain pivot for Skrumble's parent company.

CPChain Code Review – IoT Sidechains

CPChain (for Cyber Physical Chain) is a blockchain for the Internet of Things. Since IoT transactions are a key use-case for blockchain tech, there are understandably quite a few companies doing interesting things in this space, from IOTA to the upcoming Atonomi. So let's get into the code review.

Holochain Code Review and Distributed Computing Thoughts

Holochain Code Review and Distributed Computing Thoughts

Holochain is not really like anything I've seen before, so this code review won't be quite like anything you've read from me before. The Holodchain scalable distributed computing model seems to be taking decentralization to a new level, but bloody hell, is this thing just too good to be true?

QuarkChain Code Review – Deep Dive

Today I'm doing a deep dive with my QuarkChain code review - the findings were factored into the QuarkChain ICO review that we published yesterday. We'll be doing this more, to give you more of a sense of how we rate our ICOs since the code review is an important metric in our analysis.
