DxChain released the Data-Side Chain Testnet in September 2018, marking the beginning of DxChain’s productization. In January 2019, the official launch of DxChain’s Testnet and SDK, showcased DxChain’s capability of implementing the distributed storage powered by blockchain. Moreover, the release of DxChainPy SDK and a demo Dapp – “DxBox” can provide engineers and researchers with blockchain solutions to data storage and file management in a distributed and secure system using DxChain’s SDK.   DxChain Links DxChain’s Website Twitter Page Telegram News DxChainGlobal (New) DxChainGlobal (Full) YouTube Channel Medium Page Steemit Page Reddit   DxChain Whitepaper   Technical Description The technical description is written on an academic level with all aspects of the mathematical cryptography explained with formulas and charts. It traced back the technology implemented in the DxChain Network and explains the features of all technologies. The advanced level of writing can be explained by the top-notch technical skills of the team. DxChain is a decentralized big data and machine learning network powered by a computing-centric public blockchain. The system is designed based on the “Chains-on-chain” architecture, includes: Master chain is a distributed public ledger system with PoW consensus algorithm. It stores the transaction, state, and receipt, as well as the Ethereum compatible mart contracts. The master chain manages the two other sidechains with a two-way peg protocol. Data storage side chain (DSC) is a p2p distributed file storage network. The data storage is based on creating and revising file contracts between renter and client in an untrusted environment. The Proof of Spacetime (PoSt) and Provable Data Possession (PDP) are used as the consensus method to validate the provision of storage. Computing side chain (CSC) supports the specific computing task on the virtual machines. It takes the technological advantages of Hadoop, which are repeatedly verified in the industry over the past decade, to combine with the unique mechanisms of blockchain to solve the distributed storage and computing. The Provable Data Computation (includes setting, solution, and proof three stages) and verification games are the two consensus algorithms to verify the computing result and in-deep computing steps.

Token Lockups Tokens sold on the private sale are locked-in and will be unlocked at 3 stages for one year. When the token was listed on exchanges, one-quarter of all private-sale tokens were released immediately. Then, after 3 months and 6 months of listing, two quarters were unlocked and released respectively. The remaining one-quarter of the tokens will be unlocked after 1 year from listing. Speed of selling out the ICO 3 days Token Airdrops The team has run both an airdrop and bounty campaign to gain popularity on Twitter, Telegram, and Youtube. The total tokens for the airdrop and bounty campaign is less than 0.01% of the total token supply. Hard cap amount USD 21,500,000 Type of blockchain technology This project is an advanced application platform with a couple of additions – a system for decentralized storage and decentralized process and analysis of data. The integration of AI components into the system is also an indicator that shows high potential for implementation of new technologies. Tokens sold on Public Sale The private sale was a complete success reaching the hard cap of USD 17,500,000. Later, the public sale raised around ETH 7,393.  Community feedback The community seems to be generally positive towards the project.    Technology & Development   Product Development Progress June 2018, DxChain released the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) called Rocky Mountains, demonstrated the feature of storage and retrieval of files on a 5-node network, as well as the mining and storage functionality of nodes, and the successful upload and download of a test file. The MVP showcased DxChain’s blockchain storage capability as promised. September 2018, DxChain Data-Side-Chain Testnet Beta – Andes Mountains was launched, marked the beginning of DxChain’s productization. The data side chain enabled transactions, file storage, and product scaling. At the same time, the DxChain Testnet browser was released, allowed users to see DxChain products visually. Jan 2019, the launch of DxChain’s Testnet and SDK, named Alps Mountains, showcased DxChain research and development team’s capability of implementing the distributed storage powered by blockchain. In this version, DxChain also delivered the DxChainPy SDK and a demo Dapp — DxBox. DxBox is a decentralized blockchain storage product powered by DxChain Testnet, provides secure & private cloud storage for users all over the world. Currently, the DxChain team also provides free trials for KuCoin users and cryptocurrency supporters to try out the blockchain storage through using DxBox. That means you can have your own secure and decentralized blockchain storage at no cost, and experience the blockchain storage capability provided by DxChain!  Blockchain technology usage and innovation One of the innovations in the system is a new decentralized computing framework, which introduces a Probable Data Computing and a verification game. Also, DxChain presents a design of a three-chain with two unique properties – Master chains and sidechains, plus immutable master-chain and elastic side-chains. The master chain maintains transactions, whereas the side chains are in charge of storage (Data Side Chain) and computation (Computing Side Chain). Dependencies to third party platform or service DxChain is currently dependent on the Ethereum network as the project's ICO campaign took place on the Ethereum network. The DX token is currently still ERC-20 type token and has not been swapped yet. The token will be swapped after the launch of the mainnet. Blockchain advantage, effects on the market The unique architecture and innovations of the platform are contributing considerably to the difference of DxChain compared to other systems. Therefore, the platform has a substantial chance of having a disruptive impact on the market. Decentralization of the system DxChain presents a 3-chain structure – one main chain and two side-chains. One of the two side-chains will be running parallel computing to solve the problem of general-purpose computing for big data. It will eventually achieve machine learning and provides BI support. The other side-chain is mainly responsible for providing big data storage. It also provides corresponding support for the computation chain. The main chain is responsible for providing transaction-related operations while coordinating these two sides chains. It is a fully decentralized system, controlled by smart contracts. System security measures DxChain uses a homomorphic encryption method, while the team also uses obfuscation techniques so that it is not possible to gather private information associated with individual users. MPC (multi-party computing) is also used as a system secure measurement technique, in order to preserve privacy computation. Proof of Spacetime (PoSt) validates whether the storage provider really stores the files. Finally, DX uses two mechanisms to ensure correctness of computation: verification game algorithm and Provable Data Computation (PDC). We sincerely appreciate your support and understanding, we hope this information proves useful to all users and potential investors. Regards, The KuCoin Team.
