Asch

Asch is a decentralized application platform that provides a number of API and SDK to assist developers to create DApps based on sidechain and JavaScript technology. By offering a whole array of industry standard solutions, such as custom contracts, sidechains, and app hosting, it implies that Asch is an easy plug and play ecosystem that users can easily use in their organizations. Every node has the capability to download and execute the features provided by Asch. Asch also features an open and fully decentralized cryptocurrency referred to as XAS. The cryptocurrency can interact with DApps in the ecosystem using a 2-way peg that bridges it to the respective organization. Its traditional web-like application makes more businesses and even individuals to easily implement in different scenarios. The platform was founded early-2017 by a team of 13 developers, though their identity remains a concealed secret. However, as an open source platform, anybody is free to participate in advancing the core code. This opens its doors for investment, peer2peer payment, and even trading in the markets. The price of XAS performed remarkably well especially between early 2017 and early 2018. In April 2017, the value of XAS was $0.02 before growing by about 8000% by the end of January 2018. However, the period between May and August 2018 saw a serious price dip from $1.2 to $0.2 in mid-August. Even with the price shifts, the market capitalization has been growing steadily and, experts have indicated it could grow and even rival Ethereum in the coming years.
