Hi there,
As I was searching new projects, I encountered VANTA, which is a decentralized network for private, secure and realtime connectivity.
Vanta is different because it is not aiming for corporate side of business, instead it will provide solutions to our everyday problems. Vanta will be able to provide infinite connectivity between people and between devices.
(Figure 17. Internet of Things, from whitepaper pg.40)
So what kind of things we can achieve with Vanta Network?
Communications
Think about anything that requires communication between people, it can be social media or dating service, customer service, house-car renting/sharing platform and so on. Vanta can provide real time communication on blockchain for these and more.
Video Streaming
Vanta always says "Real-time" right? So live video broadcasting/streaming is another service that can be done on Vanta. Online courses, Video-on-demand services for movies, series, music etc. everything is possible.
Gaming
Day by day, gaming tends to be more multiplayer and online. Furthermore, in the future people probably will not have hardware, they are just going to "stream" games online and play. Online game interaction, all these streaming and data hosting will be on Vanta, which will provide real-time data processing. Furthermore, game economy (all tradable items in game) will be tracked and issued by Vanta.
Internet of Things
If you read my articles, you know how much I value IoT chains. Because IoT will be the future, it is coming! Vanta will be pretty good at this too. Because IoT devices require realtime data processing and Vanta can easily provide that.
Telecommunications!
Last but not least, Vanta can handle all our telecommunication network. I mean, young people use internet based video or voice calls, but we still have landlines. But future is internet, internet's future is blockchain. We know it. So eventually governments will need to adapt, and change infrastructure to blockchain. That is where Vanta will come.
Their testnet is on its way, although they have a ERC20 token right now, they are going to swap those tokens with native mainnet tokens when mainnet is ready around Q3 2019.
Here you can check the summary of their 2019 roadmap:
2019 Q2 - Testnet will be released!
2019 Q3 - The VANTA Mainnet, VNT Native Token Swap
2019 Q4 - dApp Incubation & Developer, Community Expansion
Vanta already has partnerships with Quarkchain (Vanta's APIs can support QuarkChain's blockchain), MakerDao(stablecoin for ICO),Tokenmania and Liquidity Capital for asset management.
They also have different level partnerships and advisors from Microsoft, and Oracle.
"VANTA’s services will also be directly promoted and offered through Oracle’s Cloud Marketplace. This means that Oracle’s existing international enterprise customers will have access to VANTA’s UCaaS service and voice/video API." (from their medium article)
VANTA had its ICO and I believe they filled 31% of their hardcap of 17,000 ETH.
Vanta token (VNT) is listed on Allbit exchange, you can check it here.
In Conclusion,
VANTA Network seems to be an all around solution for our everyday usage like communications, gaming, streaming etc. I would love to see it going online and use its advantages in my life.
