AllianceBlock
(ALBT)
Quant
Provider of a legally-compliant rule engine
ecosystem to bridge the gap between
TradFi and DeFi while providing Layer-2
regulatory framework
Uses Cases
•
Compliance: AllianceBlock provides a legally compliant framework (KYC/AML provider) for traditional financial institutions to
enter investments and positions into decentralized finance, resulting in potentially billions in cost savings
•
Tokenization: Allianceblock allows the creation of structured derivative, digital and crypto (CLNs, utility & security tokens,
synthetics) products to be completely investable, fungible, bankable, and accessible in a compliance manner
•
LMAAS: Any project can initiate liquidity mining/yield farming campaigns, an one-stop shop for investors to compare/contrast
different projects alongside performance and management indicators
Impact
● AllianceBlock is easiest to explain by depicting the bigger vision first: AI-
powered, equitable, global, decentralized redistribution of wealth in a new
paradigm of inclusive capitalism, where everyone reaps the rewards of a free
market.
● AllianceBlock attempts to accomplish this vision by becoming an optimized
bridge between legacy finance (TradFi) and the brave new world of DeFi,
utilizing the liquidity currently locked behind regulations by first creating a
solution to compliance problems for institutions before offering a one-stop-
shop terminal for any of the customer's DeFi needs that routes their liquidity
and services efficiently into productive and sustainable initiatives by using a
top-level AI calibrated to ESG metrics.
Impact
● AllianceBlock thus has a whole suite of products which all piece together into their bigger
vision:
– Cross Border Regulatory Compliance Rule Engine
– Trustless KYC/AML and Identity Verification
– Onchain Investment Data API
– Data Tunnel (made alongside Ocean Protocol)
– Compliant P2P and NFT (lending, borrowing, and investment protocol)
– DeFi Investment Terminal
– Derivative and Structured Product Pricing Engine and Risk Analytics
– AllianceBridge (decentralized bridge built alongside Hedera Hashgraph)
– Liquidity Mining Terminal

Partnerships
Now for the fun part...
● I'm going to show connections between Quant, Nahmii and
AllianceBlock, and the Vatican!
● Does “inclusive capitalism” sound familiar?
The important members here are:
● One final piece of evidence...
To recap...
● Quant:
– Partnered with AllianceBlock, Hyperledger, Quorum, and INATBA (of which ConsenSys is a part)
– CEO Gilbert Verdian has prior, very strong connections with Mastercard.
– Board of Directors includes Guy Deitrich, Managing Director at Rockefeller Capital
● Nahmii:
– Partnered with ConsenSys, seems to be the L2 scaling solution used on the ConsenSys platform.
● ConsenSys:
– Has received grant money from J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, The Maker Foundation and J. P. Morgan (Quorum)
– Heavily involved in work with EY
– Premier member of Hyperledger
● AllianceBlock:
– Has a product weirdly reminiscent of the overall goals of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism
– Founder is ex-J. P. Morgan
– Featured alongside The Maker Foundation on the ConsenSys Twitter account speaking together at a conference
– Partnered with Quant
To recap...
● The Council of Inclusive Capitalism
– DLT's and DeFi, specifically solutions offered by ConsenSys, Quant, AllianceBlock, and
Nahmii, to name a few, are promising for executing on the visions set forth by the Council
– Includes high-ranking members of EY, Mastercard, and The Rockefeller Foundation
– These partnerships can be traced to a fairly large social circle which seem to all be talking
to each other and backing the projects listed above.
● It seems like an awful lot of coincidence...
Holochain
(HOT)
Quant
Maximum decentralization through
an agent-centric system; virtually
infinite scalability
Impact
Impact
Use Cases
•
Configurability: Holochain’s unique agent-centric system fulfills the demand for distributed computation, personal data
ownership, and individual authority over any communication with other peers (no middlemen or centralized servers)
•
Scalability: In contrast to other solutions which require expensive and time-consuming proofs (PoW, PoS, PoA) with long
transaction times, high network fees, and bottlenecking, verification is almost instant using a DHT
•
Disruption: All social media, data storage/computing, marketplace platforms can be transformed into decentralized
applications with privacy leaks and subjection to authority being obsolete
Energy Web Token
(EWT)
Quant
Decentralized energy marketplace
that provides easier access to the
energy sector
Use Cases
•
Traceability: market participants can differentiate between energy sources
and choose to purchase certified green commodities (low carbon energy,
electric vehicle charges, to I-RECs), encouraging low-waste fuel sources
•
Flexibility: Grid operators can use customer-owned distributed energy
resources in a trustworthy and scalable way
•
Decarbonization: With easy access to green energy sources, consumer can
accelerate the retirement of existing fossil-fuel assets while increasing the
value of renewable energy through demand for renewable energy certificates
•
Chainlink
(LINK)
Quant
First-mover oracle that connects
smart contracts to off-chain
resources and data
•
Reliability: Chainlink connects smart contracts
on the blockchain to a reliable source of
untappable data such as price feeds,
commodities prices, payment providers, other
blockchains, sports data, etc.
•
Security: Ability to apply multiple layers of
security measures including cryptographic
signatures, trusted execution environments,
Use Cases
and zero-knowledge proofs
•
Versatility: Chainlink 2.0 allows hybrid smart
contracts, which are a combination of on-chain
code and an oracle, meaning blockchains can
not only store data but compute and analyze
off-chain data
•
Impact
● DeFi runs on data! Since smart contracts are algorithms, there is no
middleman to make sure that the data feeding the system retains its
accuracy and quality at all times. While this does allow for a more
efficient system, it also means that the data pipelines DeFi is built
on must be as secure as DeFi itself.
● The motif is decentralization – oracle networks are built to solve this
problem by decentralizing data feeds and making them as secure as
blockchains themselves.
Impact
● Chainlink 1.0 allows for more standardized data feeds, such as price
feeds and weather data
● The company's newest development, Chainlink 2.0, attempts to
extend this to fully bridge the power of specific, off-chain
computation run by individuals with the efficiency of on-chain
computation
● This is outlined in a whitepaper Chainlink published with the World
Economic Forum, titled Bridging the Governance Gap:
Interoperability for blockchain and legacy systems
