What is Aeternity?
Launched in 2017, aeternity aims to improve the scalability of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dapps). It relies on an oracle to provide the real-world data needed for those smart contracts.
To improve scalability, aeternity moves smart contracts off-chain, running them in private channels. This minimises the amount of on-chain data and frees up network resources.
It also includes a decentralized oracle, the aeternity oracle machine, to integrate the real-world data needed to execute smart contracts. For example, if the execution of a contract relies on the price of a specific share reaching a predetermined figure, an oracle can provide accurate, tamper-proof data about the share's performance.
aeternity offers a native currency, AE, which is required to access the network and run dapps.
To achieve consensus, aeternity uses a hybrid proof-of-work and proof-of-stake mechanism. Proof of work is used by miners to verify blocks, while proof of stake is used to allow AE token holders to vote on proposals and changes to the aeternity network.
