Next 7:15 star projects in year-end competition

Since the start of the first phase of the campaign, Kucoin has launched the "2020 Next" series of nine value projects, and our seventh phase of the campaign will go ahead as scheduled near the end of the year.

In just a few short months, NeXT events and crypto users have witnessed the evolution of the crypto market. From the rise of liquidity mining, to the NFT boom, to bitcoin breaking the $20,000 mark for the first time since its creation. In 2020, we have witnessed the changes in the crypto market.

KIRA Network 是一套由 Kira Core 团队开发的协议。其使用独创的多资产质押绑定证明 MBPoS（Multi-Bonded Proof of Stake）共识协议在保证网络安全的同时释放了被质押资产的流动性。此协议以 Tendermint 为基础，同属于 BFT 共识协议系统。Kira 旨在为 Staking 项目提供质押代币流动性，在 Cosmos 生态中扮演着流动性释放者的角色。

Arweave

Arweave is a deal that offers permanent file storage for a one-time fee. Arweave offers a storage solution called the PermaWeb Permanent Network, which takes advantage of the immutable nature of the blockchain to write content directly to the block for storage, enabling so-called permanent storage.

Alpha Lending's main function is to provide perpetual loans. Users can get loans and liquidity after deposing their assets in the system as collateral. Alpha Homora is the second product launched by Alpha. Through the Alpha Homora protocol, users can use leverage when participating in liquid mining.

The Graph

The Graph is an indexing protocol for organizing and efficiently accessing data in blockchains and storage networks. The graph currently supports indexing data from Ethereum, IPFS, and POA, with more networks to come in the future. To date, more than 1700 subdiagrams have been deployed for applications such as Uniswap, Synthetix, Aragon, Gnosis, Balancer, Livepeer, DaOstack, Aave, and decentralization. On July 31, The Graph announced The launch of its motivational testing network.

2020 年 10 月 14 日，The Graph 宣布完成两轮代币公开发行，共融资约 1300 万美金，代币单价 0.03 美元。 12 月 18日，The Graph 宣布主网上线， Coinbase、币安等加密交易平台同步上线其代币 GRT。

Terra Virtua

Terra Virtua was originally conceived by founders Gary Bracey and Jawad Ashraf& NBSP; First proposed in 2017, after years of development and positioning, Terra Virtua has evolved from a blockchain-based virtual reality entertainment platform to a blockchain-based interactive NFT digital collectibles platform that is compatible with all major platforms, including mobile phones, tablets, PCs, and of course VR.    

Terra Virtua 与多个著名品牌和 IP 合作，以其为原型创作收藏品及其三维动画模型，这些收藏品不仅可以与藏家互动，还可以彼此互动。此前曾推出「环太平洋 」 、「壮志凌云」、「教父」的 NFT 收藏品。

Yearn.finance （YFI）

If the Compound is the initiator of liquidity mining, then Yearn. Finance (YFI) is the fuel agent to push this activity to a climax. Andre Cronje (AC), the founder of YFI, is the developer of DEFI product known as "workaholic" by the crypto community. In just a few months, several new products have been launched, and even the "AC" effect has been generated.

YFI can simply be understood as a smart bank account executed on the Ethereum blockchain. The account automatically allocates your assets to low-risk investment strategies to help users earn returns. And its remarkable characteristic is fair issue mode, token without pre-sale, pre-dig.

NEAR

Near has had many good news since September this year. On September 25, the official account of NEAR announced that the foundation had completely quit the operation of the node, and the main network of NEAR was decentralized.   Then on October 13, NEAR started the final phase of the mainnet and the transfer function was opened.

Near as one of Ethereum's strongest competitors has gained including   Multicoin Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Electric Capital, Homebrew, Amplify, Metastable, Baidu Ventures, SVAngel, Resume Ice and many other investment institutions.

Nervos

As one of the representatives of domestic public chain, Nervos has been concerned by cryptographic users. Its flexible underlying cryptography primitives allow Nervos to provide a 2.0 level of interoperability experience, allowing it to follow the standards of all existing chains, thus connecting with existing portals and realizing its vision of bringing them together. Users can enter the blockchain world from any portal and manipulate any asset in the digital world, and none of these problems can be solved by inventing a new standard or portal.

Oasis Network

区块链隐私计算平台 Oasis Network 的主网已上线。据官方介绍， Oasis Network 是首个可扩展、具有隐私保护功能的区块链，能够保持数据的机密性和隐私性。2018 年至 2020 年期间，Oasis Network 已经筹集了约 4500 万美元。

SKALE Network

Skale Network is a two-layer scaling solution that is fully compatible with the Ethereum mainnet. Blockout times reach sub-second levels, throughput per SKALE chain reaches 2000 TPS, full-state smart contracts are deployed, decentralized storage is supported, and Rollups solutions and EVM machine learning are implemented. Skale closed its public sale on Sept. 11, selling more than 167 million SKL tokens, valued at just over $5 million. It was followed on 1 October by the announcement of the second phase of its mainnet.

Solana

Solana network adopted based on the PoH clock mechanism, but also optimizes the consensus mechanism, data broadcast, parallel transaction processing, with a separate node network status data storage, etc., the purpose is in order to guarantee a certain degree of decentralization and security situation, achieve high throughput and low delay and low cost, thus can satisfy the user requirements of most of the scene.

This year, the SERUM project, which was consulted by SBF, became the first decentralized exchange built on the Solana public chain to support cross-chain trading without the trust of a third party. On August 14, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried tweeted that SERUM, based on the Solana public chain, has completed its first on-chain transaction with a transaction fee of 0.000005 SOL (approximately $0.000019).

aelf

Aelf is a project to build a decentralized cloud computing blockchain network. The team is based in Singapore.   Aelf is not only a chain, but also a main chain with multiple side chains to reduce traffic and maximize transaction speed and efficiency. The main chain is the core of the ecosystem and connects to multiple side chains at the same time.

今年的 10 月 16 日，aelf Enterprise 1.0.0 RC 1 版正式发布。12 月 10 日， aelf 主网正式上线。 主网上线后，aelf 将按照新版主网启动路线图，分阶段依次完成主网启动相关工作，同时 aelf 技术团队还将持续改善主网功能，并着力构建 DApp 生态系统。

Injective Protocol

Injective Protocol is Layer2 derivative transaction Protocol, based on Ethereum network, integrating verifiable delay function (VDF), and using Proof of Elapsed Time to avoid order conflict in the same block to eliminate transaction cheating and bad transactions decentralized transaction Protocol.

The agreement closed a seed round recently. The exact amount was not disclosed, but the investments came from well-known institutions and individuals, including Pantera Capital, QCP Soteria, Axia8 Ventures, OK Strategic Partners K42, and Kingkrypton Capital.
