Aliagto 2.0 vision is to make life easier by providing unique, pioneering solutions that the latest technological achievements allow, while maintaining universal and proven methods where they function without any problems. This vision includes the creation of a new-generation auction and commercial platform based on the blockchain technology, in which data decentralization significantly improves the security of stored data, and multi-node verification guarantees only one version of the truth.

Structure

The foundation of the Aligato 2.0 platform on top of the blockchain will ensure safety, stability and transparency at a level unattainable by the solutions available so far. The Pay via Eye payment system, operating through ordinary cameras in smartphones or computers, will additionally strengthen the security of buyers. Artificial intelligence will facilitate shopping, searching for items and any interaction with the platform. Autonomous delivery drones automate the final stage of product delivery to the customer, and the entire system will be based on the existing infrastructure.

In addition to transactions using all the payment systems and methods available today, Aligato will offer you the opportunity to purchase goods and pay fees and commissions using the most popular cryptocurrencies and AligatoCoin, the Aligato internal token. Using AligatoCoin within the platform will guarantee the user much lower costs of using and servicing the website, especially sales fees, at the same time allowing them to be exchanged directly for other cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies.

Technological Characteristics

  1. Blockchain Technology — the registry of blocks together with an intelligent contracts enables the level of security, transparency and efficiency unattainable using the solutions offered so far. In addition, it allows only one universally accepted truthto exist. This means that the transactional data stored is decentralized and validated only after confirmation by the involved network nodes. The support of the whole database of the trading platform will ensure its security and transparency, as well as the simplicity of verification of selected information by all users of a given platform — from buyers, sellers and suppliers, to persons supervising the proper functioning of the entire sales system. Cryptocurrencies also enable fast and secure payments with minimum fees. This means savings for both buyers and sellers.
  2. Delivery drones — One of the main assumptions of the fully functioning Aligato 2.0 platform is creation of delivery system using autonomous drones. The system is to operate on the B2C (business-toconsumer) and C2C (consumer-to-consumer) lines, delivering shipments up to one hundred kilograms to the customer’s door. The created system will be autonomous and collision-free. In order to ensure optimal conditions for the possibility of flying drones, the existing real estate infrastructure will be used. Each of the selected relocation locations/points will have its own ‘transmission station’, which will be integrated with the coinomat. In addition, the “Drone Link” system will allow you to physically take over the shipment in case of technical problems or drone failure.
  3. Artificial Intelligence — the simplicity of service, especially from the technical standpoint, is important to Aligato, therefore, they plan to become a very intuitive platform. The user, starting to work with the system, will be guided by an automated management system. At the same time, this system will observe the user’s behavior and learn to work with them. The AI system will also be responsible for automating the sales system through suggestions generated based on previous user interactions with it. Depending on ones preferences, the process can be performed manually or with the help of AI.
  4. Pay via Eye — one of the most innovative technological aspects of the project is the implementation of the Pay via Eye payment system for its needs, i.e., approval of transactions by means of iris scan. Aligato team plans to implement PvE technology using the right algorithms from existing devices, creating its own scanner to run PvE as one of the available payment methods on the Aligato platform. What’s more, in order to increase the security of transactions, payment with PvE will require additional authorization (2FA) — it can be an SMS with a code, Google Authenticator or pre-determined PIN.

Roadmap

We have a clear and elaborate roadmap which, together with the advancement of the project, will become more and more detailed.

AligatoCoin Token

AligatoCoin token is created with the ERC20 standard in the Ethereum network.

Name — Aligato

CoinSymbol — ALC

Platform — Ethereum (ERC20)

The amount of all tokens — 100 000 000 ALC

The number of tokens to be sold — 70 000 000 ALC

Token Economy

The AligatoCoin token in ERC20 standard will be created in the number of 100,000,000 units, of which 70,000,000 will be available for sale. The developers focused on the Proof of Stake technology, which offers many advantages over Proof of Work technology.

PoS is a greener process (it consumes much less energy), it favors decentralization, but it is also more user-friendly. It offers a significant benefit to users in the form of a return on investment for its mere storage on the wallet. In Aligato blockchain, it will be based on two types of nodes:

  1. Confirmation Node:
    The number of tokens necessary to run the node: 3000 ALC
    Annual return: ~ 4% + commission for transactions
    Staking Wallet: ALC desktop wallet for Windows / Mac / Linux / RaspberryPI
  2. Full Node:The number of tokens needed to run the node: 25,000 ALC
    Annual return: ~ 7% + commission for transactions
    Staking Wallet: ALC linux wallet / ready disk image

The Team

The creators of our project, Adrian Dymarczyk and Bartosz Juraszek, showed their experience in business and management, starting the creation of Aligato 2.0 and AligatoCoin from building a strong team.

The team consists of, among others, Maciej Dutko, e-commerce market practicioner, with experience he has gained since 2005. In 2007 he began working closely with Allegro.pl as a certified lecturer of the website. It is safe to say that the he knows the e-commerce industry from the kitchen. So far, he shared his knowledge as a trainer and lecturer at business universities, as well as the author and originator of many books, such as the “e-business Bible”.

The development and implementation of the blockchain in Aligato 2.0 is the responsibility of Rafał Kiełbus, a Bitcoin developer since 2012. He participates, among other things, in the development of Bitcoin Core and P2Pool. He was also responsible for moderating forum.bitcoin.pl. He has a solid base in the technology industry in which it has been operating since 1997.

Speaking of the area of cryptocurrency and blockchain in the Aligato project, it is impossible not to mention Marcin Szydłowski, known in the community as Mike Satoshi. He runs a cryptocurrency channel on YouTube and a community called Krypto-Naród [Crypto — Nation], recognizable in the enthusiast community.

Community channels and pages

You can follow the project and participate in it’s development by joining our community channels and fanpages, as well as on the official website of the project. We also have a functioning auction-sale platform that has been preexistent since 2016 — you can find it here: https://www.aligato.pl/
