Synereo re-emerges as leading Blockchain promise after a successful funding campaign and recently announced innovations

Synereo, a company developing a decentralized tech stack, allowing web applications to exist without centralized servers, has got a major boost lately for its plan to “fundamentally redesign the way the internet works”, as its company slogan goes.

The Tel-Aviv-based startup concluded a highly successful funding campaign last week, raising more than $4.7 million USD, selling both equity and AMPs – the platform’s innate cryptocurrency.

Synereo was initially known for its attempt to create a decentralized social network, but after spending years developing a decentralized social media solution on the basis of existing blockchain technologies, the company announced lately that it had widened its operations considerably in order to develop its own blockchain enabled decentralized computation platform, capable of running all forms of decentralized applications, the company’s social network being one such application.

With this move, Synereo placed itself in the forefront of the heated race towards a so called “World Computer” – a network of personal devices, functioning as a unitary virtual machine, rendering central servers and data centers redundant. This idea was initially proposed by the Ethereum foundation, and has since attracted several additional teams, providing little to no deviance from the original make-up. Synereo’s proposal is the first to introduce a significant improvement to the industry standard, offering a complete tech-stack – incorporating all faculties needed to support decentralized computation without central servers.

The recently concluded funding campaign was launched shortly after Synereo announced its Blockchain 2.0 architecture, called RChain, which lies at the core of Synereo’s evolved tech stack. Synereo stated that funds raised during the campaign will be used to expand its team significantly, ensuring that its RChain-based technology stack can go live towards the end of 2017.

According to Synereo, RChain solves well known problems of existing blockchains, enabling decentralized systems to be much faster, infinitely scalable and cheaper to maintain. In addition to that, and contrary to existing turing-complete blockchain solutions, Synereo’s platform comes with its own distributed cloud storage, allowing for efficient decentralized hosting of heavy media, as well as a reflective smart-contracting language. With this, Synereo hopes to be the first project to truly disrupt the traditional role of centralized servers.

In order to populate its platform, and to ensure fast growth and adaptation, Synereo has recently announced a sizeable grant project, inviting developers and entrepreneurs to develop decentralized applications for its platform, to foster the development of a decentralized ecosystem, competing with the current centralized paradigm.

In a major endorsement of Synereo’s technology, the Silicon Valley-based NFX Guild, partnered up with Synereo, and announced that it will include a selected few laureates of Synereo’s grant project in its prestigious Accelerator Program. James Currier, Managing Partner at NFX, explained the Guild’s decision to choose Synereo’s technology for the project, stating:

“If you do the analysis, Synereo comes out as the superior platform for developing decentralized apps. It runs fully distributed instead of massively replicated. It’s JVM top to bottom rather than Python. It’s forward compatible, vs other platforms anticipating multiple hard- forks. Synereo has the identity layer built in which provides distribution advantages and network effects. Lastly, fine-grained concurrency, vs other platforms’ linearity, provides greater speeds and scalability”

Since Synereo first announced its grant project, the company has received hundreds of applications of teams, eager to develop their applications on top of Synereo’s platform. Dor Konforty, Synereo’s CEO comments:

“We are now in the final stage of interviews, and will soon be selecting the first projects that will receive AMP grants to build on Synereo’s tech stack. We have 300 applications and it has taken our team a while to go through them and to choose from many amazing development teams and projects. Overall we are very excited at the level of interest to build the future of the decentralized internet with Synereo”

Synereo is now significantly scaling up its operations, and expanding the company’s team to refine the developer tools needed to build on its platform, and optimize the development effort of Synereo’s 2.0 tech stack. The company is actively hiring, and states on its blog that:

If you have the relevant experience, and are familiar with Scala, Blockchain technology, smart-contracting languages and decentralized computation in general, and are eager to work with a highly motivated and determined team, we invite you to visit our Job-Offering Page, and apply to one of the open positions.

According to Synereo’s development plan, the company’s anticipated RChain-based architecture will be up and running towards the end of 2017, ready to host Synereo’s social network beta shortly afterwards. In the meantime, Synereo is further developing the alpha version of its social network, and invites the public to install its alpha nodes and participate in the test phase of the network. Instructions on how to do that can be found on the company’s Github account, Youtube channel and slack.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

Blockchain Supply Chain Forum will be held on January 10th in Hong Kong

The concept of a blockchain – a distributed, tamper-proof and time-stamped database of transactions that can be managed without intermediaries – is highly attractive in the supply chain domain, and the industry has launched a number of proof-of-concept initiatives. However, awareness of how blockchains work and what they can accomplish for supply chain is still relatively low. The lack of knowledge is exacerbated by the fast pace at which the technology is evolving. A success Blockchain Supply Chain Forum was held on October 24th in Shanghai, professional blockchain organizer EventLinker and Global Supply Chain Council will organize the Blockchain Supply Chain Forum on January 10th in Hong Kong, it is the forum connecting blockchain experts, supply chain and logistics decision makers and tech innovators. This intimate gathering will explore how companies are investigating the use and deployment of the technology to help their supply chains in China. Organizer: EventLinker ...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
