In this modern world, organizations are becoming more reliant on the internet for interconnectivity, communication and productivity.

The Internet has since inception, functioned as an invaluable bridge between various sectors and continents. From business to social media to entertainment to gaming, even medical help, and recipes for your favourite dishes.

Sadly with so much adoption, many flaws have been discovered. A lot of networks can easily be hacked, many servers are slow and redundant, sensitive data has been compromised, and let's not forget interference/spying from central parties such as the government or big corporations.

This prompted the invention of the blockchain to decentralize the internet and give users more privacy over their data and finances.

The earlier versions of the blockchain such as Bitcoin and Ethereum were groundbreaking but as adoption increased their lack of scalability soon became obvious. Scalability refers to the ability to handle increasingly larger requests.

Bitcoin, for example, can only handle 7 transactions per second, Ethereum (15) and Ripple is currently at 1,500 per second. "Not bad" you might say till you discover Visa does 24,000 transactions per second.

The need for improvement is clear, and so once again a new generation of blockchain has risen.

INTRODUCING PROXIMAX

ProximaX is a next generation platform solution based on the NEM blockchain. NEM is a popular peer-to-peer cryptocurrency and blockchain platform. It has shown great utility in maintaining database, inventories, or as an open, secure, end-to-end supply chain logistics management system.

ProximaX is based on the latest version of NEM called NEM Catapult. ProximaX Sirius offers Integrated and Distributed Ledger Technology (IaDLT). This IaDLT is an integrated assembly of proven technologies which is a combination of Blockchain-Storage-Streaming-Database System-Consensus.

ProximaX core features include peer-to-peer internet protocols, decentralized storage layer, off-chain transactions, streaming and messaging delivery network and an advanced consensus and reward algorithm.

PROXIMAX ARCHITECTURE

ProximaX offers an API driven architecture that will enable DApp developers and businesses to easily deploy and manage their digital solutions. The Content delivery networks and cloud services allow a wide range of applications.

One of it best attributes is that you can use ProximaX without advanced programming knowledge. You only need to download the right SDK (Go, C#, Typescript, etc) to start using the ProximaX platform.

ProximaX has 4 main layers.

1. Advanced Blockchain. ProximaX utilizes the NEM Catapult to offer an API-driven asset environment that allows you to easily integrate the blockchain into your company. You can now create a secure and transparent Enterprise environment.
2. Streaming. Using its custom PeerStream Protocol (PSP), users will be able to enjoy fully anonymous and encrypted messaging and video streaming services.
3. Storage. ProximaX uses a Distributed File Management System (DFMS) that integrates directly with the blockchain. This allows truly secure p2p transactions/transfers, private asset management and metadata storage.
4. Consensus. ProximaX uses a multi-layer consensus protocol. This sets the conditions and procedures for voting, governance and issuing rewards to nodes in the network. Nodes(users) are rewarded in the native token XPX.

ProximaX Consensus algorithm uses three forms of validation.
Proof-of-Importance (PoI), Proof-of-Storage (PoSt), and Proof-of-Bandwidth (PoB).

These 3 help to validate the input from nodes(users), as well as preserve their right to ownership and privacy.

ADVANTAGES OF USING ProximaX

• Lower Cost - Blockchain storage is cheaper than conventional methods and cloud services and hard disk space will be optimised. Users have the option to upload files as Plain(public) or Secured(encrypted).
• Privacy - To combat piracy and copyright infringement, ProximaX is currently working on a "deny list" that will refer to DMCA takedown notices and reject any data hash listed.
• High Scalability - ProximaX Sirius combines high speed storage with blockchain immutability. This allows Users to store and stream data of large sizes in the distributed layers whilst transactions are conducted speedily on the blockchain.
• Highly Configurable - ProximaX allows users to operate in permissioned(private) or permissionless(public) environments. This comes in handy when dealing with personal or private company data.
• Security & Transparency - ProximaX utilizes the features of the blockchain to ensure secure peer to peer transactions and encrypted data transfers while the digital ledger notes all activities to ensure transparency.
• Guaranteed Availability - Since all activities take place on the blockchain and are recorded on multiple nodes there is no downtime or server maintenance required.
• User Friendly - Integrating ProximaX Sirius is very easy. All one has to do is download the appropriate APIs and SDKs and deploy.
• Financial Flexibility - Unlike most blockchains that only accept/handle one currency, the ProximaX token ecosystem is designed to work in 2 layers. The first layer (Internal) handles the native currency XPX, "service units" and custom tokens created by dapp builders. The External layer supports end-user payements which may be crypto or fiat. It is converted using the automated exchange.
• Ability To Earn - In the ProximaX network, Quality apps can earn XPX tokens as can Content providers. ProximaX’s blockchain Sirius also uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm so you can earn by supporting the network with your stake.

USE CASE SCENARIO

Andrew is the CEO of company ABC. ABC is a sportswear company that encourages people to exercise and keep fit. ABC launches a campaign with a prize for those who take regular workouts and complete milestones.

ABC allowed users to upload their workouts on YouTube but as many people joined, some simply stole the videos of others and posted it as their own.

Andrew decides to integrate ProximaX into the company framework. Now users no longer need an unsecured platform to upload their workouts but can stream it live using ProximaX Multimedia and Streaming network.

The ProximaX storage layer takes a record of the metadata of the video and any attempt to duplicate or copy it by a 3rd party is easily flagged and disregarded.

ProximaX allows the fitness campaign to be successfully implemented.

ProximaX Token XPX

XPX is the native token of the ProximaX ecosystem. It is a utility token that will power activities on the blockchain. XPX will be used to reward app developers and Content Creators based on a Quality of Service protocol. ProximaX has a Total Token Supply of 9,000,000,000 XPX

XPX is now listed and available on Kryptono
