Relationship between BCF and Syscoin's Blockchain protocol
Syscoin is an open source public blockchain protocol that was initialized in August 2014 and has since become a consolidated project within the blockchain community. Syscoin is not directly related to BCF, nor does BCF hold any Syscoin token or otherwise has a direct economic exposure to the Syscoin project.
Some employees of the Company actively contribute to the development of Syscoin. Although the Syscoin project is separate and distinct from the Company, the skills and experience gained by the Company's employees through their involvement in Syscoin are invaluable both for product development and for BCF's consulting initiatives. As Syscoin continues to evolve as a blockchain protocol with industry-leading speed and scalability, BCF is well positioned to benefit from its proprietary suite of Syscoin-enabled products and services.
Syscoin 3.0
Syscoin 3.0 introduces numerous powerful developments to the Syscoin platform, including Syscoin resources (similar to Ethereum's ERC-20 standards), Syscoin's masternodes and instant transactions.
- Masternodes enables instant transactions on the Syscoin network, industry-leading speed and scalability, and the ability for Syscoin token holders to vote and participate in the governance of the Syscoin network.
- Coinciding with the launch of Syscoin 3.0, the main developer Jag Sidhu has published a technical whitepaper that provides a detailed overview of the Syscoin 3.0 protocol. The white paper is available at http://www.syscoin.org/whitepaper/.
