Velas Press Release
January 30, 2020, Zug, Switzerland
The developer teams of Web3 Space and Z-Union are joining Velas, the AI-powered blockchain project, to work on research and further development of its core technologies, as well as wider ecosystem applications. This expansion will significantly strengthen the project’s core team, improving and accelerating the research and development process to deliver Velas’ vision in the best and most innovative way.
The move was preliminarily announced in the Velas Community Telegram chat in January 2020:
“Great news on getting some very smart people joining our team. We are humbled and excited to have them agree to join us and help deliver our vision, not just in full but by also adding storage sharing to master odes on the network,” wrote Velas founder Alex Alexandrov.
Among the new Velas developer team members are Andrii Stehno, founder and CTO of Web3 Space and Token0x Platform, and Robert Vasilyev, co-founder and CEO of Z-Union and president of the Artificial Intelligence Development Laboratories Association (AILA). They are also bringing their teams to work on Velas with them.
The new teams will concentrate on сonducting research and experiments that will aid the development of a reputation model for Velas blockchain nodes, based on machine learning technologies and artificial neural networks at a fundamental level. They will also verify hypotheses on ways to achieve mass adoption of blockchain technology.
Additionally, the teams will help deliver the Velas wallet. This will comprise a fully decentralized no-backend multi-platform (including browser extension) multi-currency wallet. The Velas wallet will be mnemonic-based (all individual coins’ sub-wallets will be based on one mnemonic phrase), lightweight, and optimized for third-party integrations. It will utilize smart TX fees that will be calculated based on average price per byte. The Velas wallet is due to be delivered in the coming weeks.
Velas representatives have declared that the project is receptive to further partnerships and collaborations as they strive for ecosystem building and promoting values that are shared by the whole blockchain and crypto community.
Velas is a next generation self-learning blockchain ecosystem project that implements an AI-powered Delegated Proof-of-Stake (AIDPOS) consensus mechanism for extremely improved scalability, high security and interoperability.
