USD Coin (USDC)

USD Coin is a digital stablecoin that is attached to the US Dollar, it is used as a digital dollar for global businesses. This coin is interesting because it is always redeemable in a ratio of 1:1 for US Dollars, meaning it gives its users access to the US Dollar. USDC is seen as a pillar of the blockchain ecosystem. The USDC software is open-source and is managed by an organisation that drives standards for the adoption of trusted stablecoins, and enforces payment and identity standards; this organisation is called Centre Consortium.

The USDC is available on most of the world's most powerful and innovative block chains. The fact that USDC offers a broad, native availability and the ability to seamlessly swap across the blockchain ecosystems, means that developers who build with USDC are able to extend their reach. The Centre Consortium's second major standard provides decentralised identity for crypto finance, called Verite. Verite is a collection of standardised protocols that can help make it safer, easier and more efficient to do business across the world of DeFi and Web3 commerce. Verite is free and anyone can use it and to build on.

Solana (SOL)

The Solana coin was founded in 2017 during the initial coin offering (ICO), their aim is to keep cost low but still achieve scaling throughput beyond what is achieved by other popular blockchains. As well as trying to solve the blockchain trilemma. The SOL token was officially launched in March 2020. Since its launch Solana has become one of the Top 10 cryptocurrencies with regards to total market capitalisation.

Proof-of-history in the context of cryptocurrencies refers to a high frequency Verifiable Delay Function (VDF). A VDF produces a unique output that is efficient and can be publicly verified. Solana uses the proof-of-history to solve the issue of the need for centralised systems to verify transactions, as the need to use centralised services defeats the object of a decentralised system.

Solana’s platform uses a proof-of-stake network, meaning the security network is not dependent on energy usage, thus the platform is environmentally friendly.

The synchronisation engine that is used by Solana is one of the main reasons they can achieve a high throughput. The reliability of Solana’s synchronisation guarantees allows them to break down the synchronisation blocks called ‘entries’ which are then validated in real time before any block consensus.
