I present to you Asch (XAS):
XAS also known as ASCH is a chance for a potential moon mission similar in size to ETP, ANT, WTC and OMG.
Unlike most of the Chinese coins in the above list, XAS was actually an insanely hyped and popular project in CHINA that received a lot of support from it’s community. However due to unfortunate timing its momentum was killed of by the sudden China FUD. I bet most of you are not familiar, but during that time XAS was also branded as the Chinese LISK, and was acknowledged by most to have even superior underlying technology.
Asch (XAS) has already been in development for a while (3 years). XAS had the largest trade volume at jubi.com before the Chinese government ban on ICO, even higher than Neo and WTC combined!
Asch (XAS) is an ethereum like platform that adopts an enhanced DPOS consensus mechanism created to reduce the skill threshold required from developers in creating Dapps. They bridge this gap by adopting JavaScript as an application development language and by supporting RDP (Relational Database) to store the transaction data. More importantly, Asch’s unique sidechain-as-a-application (SaaA) mode alleviates the blockchain inflation issue, as well as makes dApp much more adjustable and individualized. Asch is a prospective, low-cost, one-stop solution that will become the incubator of next generation decentralized application.
These are the distinctive features of ASCH compared to LISK:
Supporting side-chains (cross-chains). 2.DApp data are stored in the side-chain, so the main chain data will not swell too fast.
The Advantages of Node.JS language.
Saving block data in relational database to reduce the difficulty of dApp development
The speed of block production is rapid. Producing one block per 10 seconds and confirming it fast.
There will be no forking issues.
Safe sandbox isolating mechanism
Asch founder, Qingfeng Zhang, is a well respected figure in the block chain industry. He has worked as a development engineer in Kodak,YunYun and Weibo during his early years. In 2012 he was drawn to bitcoin, in 2013 he built a Ripple gateway and in 2016 he started working full-time to develop ASCH. Qingfeng Zhang is only the tip of the iceberg, they have 7 other core developers of similar reputation.
Asch’s github
https://github.com/AschPlatform/aschhas also been very active and I can see them starting to form a lot of partnerships soon, and make a new push towards rebranding to the western market.
https://www.asch.soAsch already has several Dapps launched on their platform by developers, unlike some other projects who are only based on hype, some of them are:
CCT- A distributed and decentralized social news sharing and communication platform.
Killing chain- World’s first multiplayer online battle royal game based on crypto currency made by developers of Bilzzard entertainment and Ubisoft.
https://killingchain.comKM wisdom- A decentralized predictive market application running on blockchain Many more Dapps are in progress, but still not completed, the above are already done and running.
In addition to Dapps on their platform, Asch is also already done with their mobile wallet+ web wallet and are in the final phases of completing their desktop pc wallet.
