About Skycoin

The Skycoin Platform is the most advanced blockchain platform in the world. Developed by early contributors to both Bitcoin and Ethereum, Skycoin’s platform is completely secure, infinitely scalable, and ISP independent. Backed by bandwidth, storage, and computational power Skycoin is built to fulfill Satoshi’s original vision.

Skycoin consists of an ecosystem of technologies that work together in unison to provide a complete package:

• Skywire – Skywire is a blockchain-based internet service that removes the aging centralized protocols used for today’s internet. This mesh network consists of thousands of nodes that connect to each other directly for forwarding and routing of internet traffic. This creates a spider web-like network or mesh that is more stable, secure and faster than the current world wide web.
• Obelisk – To tackle this centralization problem, Skycoin moves beyond PoW/PoS. It uses a distributed consensus algorithm, called Obelisk, which distributes influence over the network according to a “web of trust”. In essence, every node has a list of other nodes that it subscribes to, and the density of a node’s network of subscribers determines its influence on the network. Each node is assigned a personal blockchain which acts as a “public broadcasting channel” on which all of a node’s actions are visible and publicly recorded.
• Fiber – Skycoin’s Fiber network was built elegantly from the ground up to be robust, customizable and infinitely scalable. The beauty of Fiber is in its architecture, which allows it to easily overcome the challenges not solved by Bitcoin and Ethereum. In order to eliminate the slow speed and high cost of transactions, with the Fiber network, Skycoin’s team created a new consensus protocol known as Obelisk.
