ATN Weekly Update - 28 December 2017

ATN is aimed to connect AI and blockchain to create a next-generation blockchain platform with AI services. It takes advantage of a multi-centred distribution platform of shared AI services to provide AI and robot technologies worldwide while nurturing an AI ecosystem globally. Long-term Bounty Plan At midnight on Friday 15 December 2017, ATN launched on two international exchanges: big.one and allcoin.com. On these two platforms, you can use one ETH to buy 600 ATN. The long-term bounty plan has officially begun. From 24 December 2017 to 24 February 2018, you can participate in this by transferring your ATN to the official lockup contract address. The longer you let it hedge/invest, the more benefits participants will get: A. 4 months, 5% extra tokens B. 8 months, 10% extra tokens C. 12 months, 15% extra tokens After you have completely vested, participants will get ATN of equal value plus the relevant bonus. During this period, everyone can still exchange his or her AGT to ATN. One AGT is equal to one ATN. This initiative is our way of saying thank you for your support. We value our loyal supporters and encourage you to participate. For more information: https://atn.io/token?tab=lockup Project Development Improvements on UI of the official website and bug fixes.

The forum invited representatives from venture investment institutions, financial institutions, law firms and blockchain start-ups. The theme of this forum was “connection of blockchain technology, industries and capital and the ecological outlook”. In-depth discussions, in the form of keynote speeches and roundtable dialogues, were conducted on venture investment, legal regulation, advanced technologies exploration and industrial applications and implementation in the blockchain field both at home and abroad. In the afternoon, a roundtable with the theme of “the ecological development of blockchain and AI” was represented by Atmatrix, Bytom, ObEN, Jixianyuan and EditorAi. The discussions focused on whether blockchain can have a positive influence on AI, how to solve the problem of turning AI into money and how blockchain will develop in the future. As a symbiotic relationship between different technologies, each technology may overcome its development bottlenecks which may also help each sector to develop. ATN combines blockchain and AI together mainly to enable AI to share algorithms, computing power, datasets and transact. Professor Gu Xianfeng Joins Atmatrix's Journey ATN, the first “blockchain + AI” project, is now developing and expanding. A prominent figure such as professor Gu Xianfeng, from the State University of New York, joined the Academic Advisory Team of Atmatrix. Gu Xianfeng studied with Qiu Chengtong, a well-respected specialist on differential geometry. Gu is now a tenured professor in the departments of computer science and applied mathematics at the State University of New York. He also served as a visiting professor of Yau mathematical sciences centre of Tsinghua University. He has won the CAREER prize of National Science Foundation of United States and “the Chinese Fields Medal” (the gold medal of Chenxing prize in mathematics). He has been awarded as an outstanding youth overseas of National Natural Science Foundation of China (cooperate with professor Hu Shimin). Gu and Qiu combine differential geometry, algebraic topology, Riemann Surfaces theory, partial differential equation with computer science thus creating a cross-fields discipline: Computational Conformal Geometry. This theory is widely applied in fields such as Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Geometric Modeling, Wireless Sensor Network and Medical Image.
