HYCON is an abbreviated word for “Hyperconnected Coin”. Like the word itself presents, it is the digital asset developed by HYCON. Korean Startup HYCON is building its development in two ways. HYCON is not only committed to increasing the scalability on the blockchain but also to provide everyone the user-friendly platforms that users can easily use the functions.

Better than ICON?

HYCON is built on top of a faster and more scalable blockchain using a DAG (Directed Acylic Graph).  HYCON has the ability to publish several blocks at once with the ability to resolve conflicting transactions and reject double spending.

There are two representative applications that HYCON has developed and 5 more in on development process. Even more, HYCON is working on its creative developments. Currently, there are 5 representative creative developments HYCON has come up with. Korean Startup HYCON also has its own community. It invites people to share their knowledge and help them make further progress.

Representative Applications

The HYCON Wallets is continuously on the process to be intuitive and user-friendly. Users can enjoy services such as full client, lite client, hardware wallet or mobile wallet app.  HYCON is also listed on OKEx and Bit-Z.

Full Node Client& Wallet

• Unlike initial wallets that had limited transactional functionality, that of HYCON allows transaction using the Ledger Nano and let users use a mnemonic key to generate an HD wallet

Lite Wallet

• The HYCON lite client is a chrome browser extension that offers ease of use for transacting on the HYCON network. It enables users to send and receive transactions without the need to sync with the blockchain.

Representative Developments

Genesis Block

• It contains 6 transactions which represent the initial distribution of HYCON.

Public Presale

• Public presale ran from March 12^th to 27^th. Over 200 people participated.

Other than these two, there are Mainnet Launch, Coin Distribution, Exchange Distribution, Rust Language Migration, and Hash Algorithm Adjustment. If you want to know more about HYCON, take a look at their whitepaper. Whitepaper of HYCON summarizes the problems, goals, and solutions that HYCON is trying to achieve in the current cryptocurrency environment. Essential goals and technical specifications of HYCON and upcoming developments are presented in the Whitepaper.

Glosfer Learning Day

Hycon is focused on helping young minds in Seoul that are interested in Blockchain and Blockchain development.  They also just completed a Hackathon this past month.  Expect a lot more meetups and events from Hycon coming soon!

What is Scanetchain?

Scanetchain utilizes a cloud-based AR streaming system.  Furthermore,  Scanetchain is the largest platform containing four parts.

1) The AR advertising system

Users can use AR by scanning advertisements anywhere and anytime with the AR camera, plus they receive tokens as rewards when they finish watching advertisements.

2) The AR shopping system

Users can use the collected tokens to purchase products in advertisements or buy paid contents.

3) The AR social network

Users can bring their blockchain social network content offline through the AR frame.

4) The Content distribution system

Scanetchain provides an open-market platform with an automatic notarization system based on Nem blockchain. When users register their content, they receive a certificate for their copyright that protects their content. Once the content is notarized, content creators can set the price and sell their contents by themselves. This lets them save unnecessary commissions and time.

With these four parts, Scanetchain creates an ecosystem for advertisement, social network, shopping, and content distribution. Therefore, it rotates systematically through the cryptocurrency referred to as swc tokens.

Key Characteristics of Scanetchain

• Scanetchain is a decentralized open platform where users can freely define and sell their contents and products for royalty and disclosure fee. In addition, it is structured to seamlessly bring together advertisements, products, and contents to form an interlinked ecosystem of multiple platforms.
• Scanetchain uses augmented reality (AR) technology to ensure interoperability of advertising, shopping, contents, social networking services in both online and offline setting, without a glitch in transition.
• Scanetchain offers a user-friendly interface by reserving a separate Off-chain area for faster transactions, enhanced editing and deleting functionality while the On-chain counterpart is dedicated for the decentralization within the blockchain network.
