(ANN) ATHERO - SECURE BLOCKCHAIN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR IOT DEVICES

[Rottip]

The world is changing incredibly fast, and virtually everyone is aware of it. Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are an irreversible advancement that is disrupting established industries and the ways in which we interact financially. Blockchain technology has the potential to fundamentally change much of the way our world currently operates for the better. Everything is going to change, all because of Blockchain.

It’ll create new ways of working and leave more time for creativity and innovation. Intermediaries such as lawyers, brokers, and bankers might no longer be necessary. Individuals, organizations, machines, and algorithms would freely transact and interact with one another. This is the immense potential of Blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is not going to just change the way industries and different sectors operate but it will impact the lives of everyone.

One of the platform adopting the enormous advantages of the blockchain technology is the ATHERO PLATFORM. The platform emerges to provide an all-in-one solution blockchain platform by combining the various potential of internet of things (IOT) with the blockchain technology in a distributed open operational system that is focused on growth and prosperity for business to business transaction networks thereby making available a better source of data and information flow.



Athero is a new blockchain protocol being developed and specifically designed and optimized to create a secure network for various internet of things (IOT) such as vehicles, home appliances, and environmental gadgets that contain electronics, software and connectivity to connect, interact and exchange data in a decentralized and distributed ways without the interference of a central body or a third party.

The technology been built by the ATHERO platform will makes use of the blockchain technology to create a secure server that will help connect smaller, diverse internet of thing (devices) networks together to create a truly global, scalable, and evolving smart cities layer of the internet. Athero protocol was designed purposefully to tackle the main challenges which limit the fluent interaction and exchange of data in product smart chains. With smart chain data becoming increasingly fragmented, scalability and cost concerns of current decentralized solutions become evident. 



As the general IoT networks involve the connection of many devices, right from laptops, smartphones and wearables sensors, TVs, medical equipment, home appliances and many more. managing the trust of data that exist between the connection of disparate devices is always a challenge. The ATHERO platform will leverage the secure nature of the blockchain technology which provide a form of decentralized record keeping that is open but cannot be tampered with to create a server where various IOT devices can interact securely without any breach of data unless been exchanged at the user’s discretion.

ATHERO also seeks to enable enterprises and developers to easily design, build and deploy their own decentralized applications within its secured cloud. The platform aims to offer the possibility for developers to design their blockchain and Dapps to their needs, by giving them the choice to run across a highly secured architectural ecosystem. Taking into account the unique characteristics of the ATHERO ecosystem with all the needed blockchain implementations already present.

The aims of ATHERO is to give enterprises and developers the flexibility they desire when designing a purpose-specific application. Hosting everything across ATHERO secure cloud-hosted distributed network, ATHERO also aims to alleviate businesses from significant overheads cost through the elimination of needing to establish all the needed infrastructures themselves to run blockchain protocols and applications.


ATHERO TOKEN SYSTEM.

The ATHERO PLATFORM will be powered by a native token call the ATHEROTOKEN (THO), The token will serve as the primary token for application or service, exchange cryptocurrencies or create and sell DApps on the ATHERO ECOSYSTEM. The token is being created on the ethereum blockchain which will later be exchange when the athero blockchain is fully ready on a 1:1 basis.

On the ATHERO crowdsale - as far as I saw on the site, about $ 20 million was collected.  This is a great success in a bear market.  And ATHERO is already trading on mercatox.  I hope the developers will be able to follow the roadmap - and soon we will see a working product.

[Unbunplease]

According to the developers, the distribution of the bounty will take place from February 20 to April 20, in parts. Since a rather large amount of bounty was credited, the price of a token worries developers.

Interesting. This company, ICO as far as I am aware, has ended on BT. Is this a sequel? I would like to get an explanation on this topic.
