Usechain ICO Review

Usechain project (https://www.usechain.net/)has gained some traction recently and came to my attention couple of times during the last month. As I’m always looking for ICOs with great potential, I’ve decided to have a closer look and asses whether to invest or not.

Usechain To Become World’s First-ever Self-sovereign Identity Blockchain
Idea
Usechain introduce a brand-new consensus mechanism, Randomized Proof of Work to perfectly balance high performance and strong security, and apply multi-level authentication and encryption mechanism, Zero Proof, Identity Virtual Machine (IVM), Identity Network Sharding (INS), Identity Transaction Sharding (ITS), Enhanced Smart Contract, and other innovative technologies to create a new generation of Blockchain, leading Blockchain 3.0.

Whitepaper
Usechain White paper( http://www.usechain.net/usechain_en.pdf) has a scientific look, and so scientific content. It starts with high-level introduction to blockchain, and continues describing general mechanics behind technical arcchitecture concept. It further explains concept of Usechain ecosystem how it works, then they explain their value of project their moto, goal. Followed by nice explanation of their future goal ,token sale and distribution , team, advisers White paper closes with a brief section basically stating their weakness as well and their bright future plan.

Overall a white paper is a document that tells how the technology of the block-project will work. This file usually contains a detailed description of the architecture, as well as how the users interact with the system, information about the current market situation and growth forecasts, the conditions for the release and use of tokens, and a list of team members, investors and project consultants. I think Usechain explain everything.

Commercial & Technical Strategy
“Usechain, the self-sovereign identity blockchain, is ultimately aiming to solve the trust issue in this society,” says Usechain CEO and Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) Professor Huining Cao.

“KYC(Know Your Customer) is important to the financial industry. We have came up with a new concept that can map every person, every business and every asset to the blockchain,” says Professor Cao. “Every person or business will have a real account. We then transfer through smart contracts to build deeper trust.” By identity mapping, it will allow Usechain to meet the critical KYC standards of traditional financial institutions, shifting the focus on “who you are” to “what you can do”,making it more compliant to applications outside of its own ecosystem. It will also greatly reduce the cost of identity assurance and reform financial industry.

Engineered by a world-class technical team, Usechain will achieve a balance between scalability and security by fusing their unique “Randomized Proof of Work” (RPOW) revolutionized consensus built on identity with a multi-tiered sharding network to make transactions safe and efficient. Real identity information will be encrypted for privacy and mapped for legal assurance so as to be available to governments for investigations against criminal actions.
