Aion is mentioned in this MIt newsletter. Check it out.

Aion’s desire to become a reputable and trusted blockchain for corporations and governments may have possibly influenced their caution on growing too quickly. Aion has managed to attract some strong support from big brands: included on Aion Foundation’s advisory board are Anthony Di Iorio, the co-founder of Ethereum; a Vice-President from the Toronto Stock Exchange as well as a former VP from  Yahoo!.

The perfect storm is brewing for Aion to become a leader in the crypto space:

1. AIONEX, EDCON & CONSENSUS 2018 conferences have introduced AION to more people, developers & institutional investors than ever before. Matthew Spoke's performance on Consensus Interoperability Panel with Ripple, Polkadot & Litecoin left everlasting reactions & received the only applauses at the end of the Interoperability Panel.

AION's inaugural Dev conference AIONEX at Toronto on May 02, had 650 attendees. This is a record unseen by any other crypto's inaugural dev conference to date, compared to just 40 attendees at 1st Ethereum Devcon in 2014. And if Devcon grew to 350 attendees in 2015, it's not hard to see that the next AION Dev conference attendance will be in the thousands.

 

2. Token Swap from Aion ERC-20 to native Aion coins will soon be announced. The ETH-AION cross-chain bridge is already built & was showcased live on stage at AIONEX & EDCON, so it's only a matter of time before it's released.

3. US, Korean & Chinese exchanges are clearly waiting for the Token Swap to take place before they list native Aion coins rather than Aion ERC-20 tokens, they don't want to painstakingly swap ERC-20 tokens themselves as seen in ICON's token swap delay that's taking exchanges about 2-months & still not accomplished.

 

4. AION team has grown to 60 in-house team members in 4 different Aion offices in North America, Europe & Asia and plan to grow to 100 people by EOY. This is extremely rare in the crypto space & can only be compared to less than half a dozen of massive platform projects like CARDANO & EOS.

 

Aion GitHub activity is continuously ranked in top 10 platforms on Darpal Rating and CryptoMiso. Github activity, along with commits quality, are important metrics that get overlooked all the time when people compare Aion to other projects based on number of telegram users. Ethereum & Neo never even had telegram... Fat Protocol Ecosystems are not built by telegram hype but rather by worldwide Dev meetups & armies of developers that can build or contribute something that can change the world.

 

5. AION PR & Marketing are shifting into high gears now that the Mainnet is live. AIONEX, EDCON & CONSENSUS 2018 have put AION on the radar of the media. Matt Spoke is slowly becoming crypto's poster boy as seen on RBC's Disruptors Panel. It's only a matter of time before the mainstream media finds out about AION.

 

6. AION is introducing Real Technological Break-throughs with the first Cross-Chain bridge that completely moves tokens seamlessly between different blockchains using the Burn/Mint mechanism, unlike all Dapp platform projects since Ethereum that are still simple blockchain 2.0 platforms with no cross-chain capability or Atomic Swap projects that only transfer value between chains, but come with major limitations.

 

Another important point that gets forgotten in the Aion vs other interoperability projects is that Aion is all these 3 things at the same time:

I. Dapp platform with its own Virtual Machine

II. Router that transfers value & logic between networks:

. IF THIS happens on blockchain A

. THEN THAT should happen on blockchain B

III. Framework for Spoke chains that can scale infinitely to achieve unlimited TPS (This will slowly render current single-chain scaling solutions futile & will put an end to their TPS arms race, as Dapps will want to scale & become interoperable & accessible to users of any network rather than isolated within one single blockchain)

 

AION is increasingly recognized as the leader of Interoperability —the holy grail of blockchain tech— that will solve scalability, privacy & isolation issues to unlock the true potential of Distributed Ledger Technologies. "This is the internet, decentralized."

 

7. METCALFE’s LAW states that the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n2). This was proven repeatedly in the growth patterns of fat protocols like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Neo. Metcalfe’s Law favors interoperability projects even more, because Aion native tokens have utility far beyond the main Aion-1 blockchain:

Main Aion-1 blockchain

Inter-chain transactions on all bridges

Interoperable Dapps (Dapps that are accessible to users of any network)

Participating blockchains

 

8. Major AION Partners & Clients like Deloitte, TMX group (Canada's largest stock exchange), Moog Space & Defense Group, Vodafone, TD Bank, etc... are slowly moving their blockchain infrastructure to AION blockchain as they announced at AIONEX conference. This is taking place & growing the AION ecosystem while other Dapp platforms are rushing to parade their new Dapp ICOs that have little to no legitimate need for blockchain tech in the first place, but were rushed to launch ICOs to simply boast their Dapp numbers & suck more ICO funds from unsuspecting investors.

 

9. Future Partnerships will be relatively easy for AION to acquire given AION team's role as a founding board member of the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance, with the likes of Microsoft, Intel & JP Morgan (not just a regular EEA member like most other crypto projects) & the Blockchain Research Institute.

 

Aion cofounder Matthew Spoke has also strong credentials as the Fintech Advisor for the Ontario Securities Commission & Ministry of Finance and as a cofounder of the Muskoka Group along with the Tapscotts & Ethereum cofounder & ConsenSys founder Joeseph Lubin.

 

Not to mention Aion's unmatched advisory board from TMX group VP & Board of Directors and connections to Ethereum cofounders; Anthony Di lorio, Joeseph Lubin, Vitalik who's an advisor to Nuco.io & his father Dmitry Buterin who's an Angel investor in Nuco.io the company building Aion.

 

10. The TRS is coming to an end soon; however, the end of the token release schedule will slowly starts to get priced in long before the last release of Nov 2018; the date after which no more Aion will be released to public ever. Only mining/staking rewards will continue thereafter. The TRS also helps AION market cap climb up the MarketCap list with every release, adding to the increasing visibility & exposure that AION is getting.

 

People have seen what happened to fat protocols like Ethereum, Neo & Cardano, but it takes a special breed of people (and a bit of luck) to foresee why AION will have a much bigger growth & impact potential on the entire crypto space. (This is not a financial advice. DYOR.)

What the hell is going on with AION? 20k satoshis?
That's a little bit harsh. Maybe I should get more..

of course you can buy it at this price because it can be considered as a good and potential project.
BUT,it will only works if you can afford to hold it for a while.
why i say this ? Bitcoin shows us a bearish movement and it might go to below $7000 in a couple weeks later or months.
which means everything will comes after it right ? but it also has a possibility to remain the same at this level even though Bitcoin is drowning.
make your own strategy and your own choice.
remember.
always plays everything that you can afford to lose!

can you buy at this price, friends? what do you think? it will be one of the important projects of the future.

Wow... AION you just beauty this really great project in 2018 i have ever seen.I am a part of  the ICO investor so i'm really excited and all are ICO investor so much gainer.It's early growing project and team is well.I think it will be next NEO you can't believe it how much legitimate project.Recently they are attending blockchain conference check official twitter update https://twitter.com/Aion_Network/status/997185922222485505

Aion's token may have grown up on the ethereum blockchain, but it's moving out. Aion’s blockchain is an off chain solution for scaling an Ethereum token. I think this would be a good mid-long term investment. Yep, it failed me for the last 3 months, after the mainnet, after the consensus but still have faith in it.

Consensus failed for coins, to price news like mainnet launch, new developments etc. teams should announce them when bitcoin is rising otherwise they are forgetten in this market.

We just had an incredible week at Consensus in New York City.  We're proud of all our initiatives:

Moog is a Fortune 1000 company with customers like the US Dept. Of Defense, NASA, Boeing, and Airbus. This past fall, they announced a partnership with Aion.
(https://blog.aion.network/moogaionpartnership-6d37ce15b2fd)

Moog is working on using blockchain for it's supply chain. Moog Exec Jim Regenor is deep into blockchain and a huge Aion cheerleader, saying:

“The blockchain landscape is like the railroad system of the 1850’s, when there were multiple switching networks. At some point there had to be a consolidation of gauges so that railroads could use each other’s tracks to reach more customers. That same phenomenon exists today in blockchain. There’s going to need to be a hub. For us, Aion is that hub. Aion will allow us to move data between the multiple blockchains that could be present in our supply chain. We think this is a very important step, and we’re glad to be participating in it.”

There are 3 ways you can look at Aion's MC in light of TRS:

1. CMC's formula (MC = current circulating supply * price = 150MM * $2.50 = $375MM) - This calculation changes monthly because of changes in both price and circulating supply (due to TRS distributions). The dynamics of this method is frankly too complicated for some people to grasp, and folks fear what they don't understand. I think this fear keeps some buyers away. This MC figure is viewed by most as a gross undervaluation, but it's the commonly-accepted method.

2. Endgame calculation (MC = total supply * price = 466MM * $2.50 = $1.165B) - This is a much simpler way of calculating MC because it avoids the TRS complication of changing circulating supply and just uses total supply for the MC calculation. The problem with this method is that the total supply will not be in circulation until the end of 2020 and that the vast majority of tokens to be released will go to the founders, so this figure tends to be an overvaluation (although I'd argue that Aion is still undervalued even by this method, which would still put Aion outside the top 20).

3. Public TRS completion (MC = circulating supply after public TRS ends * price = 260MM * $2.50 = $650MM) - This might be an appropriate middle ground. On the one hand, it acknowledges that the current circulating supply changes too much between now and the end of the public TRS this November. At the same time, it considers that the remaining tokens will be distributed to the founders, which in turn will be distributed through the bounty and AionVentures programs, spent to cover operating expenses, with the remainder being held in reserves. Again, Aion is undervalued under this method of calculation.

Aion is a good project but now has so many direct competitors in the Interoperability space which is going to make it difficult for me to make case for it. I think I would rather pick some projects with stronger community and team than Aion projects

Aion is all these 3 things:

1. Dapp platform (Like Ethereum, EOS & NEO)
2. Router that interconnects networks
3. Framework for Spoke chains that can scale infinitely to achieve unlimited TPS

Aion cross-chain interoperability can achieve infinite scalability via spoke chains (Unlimited TPS)

Dapps can use multiple Aion spoke chains to run their portions that require high throughput, then simply signal the final results back to original chain (Ethereum or Aion-1).

You can use 1 Million spoke chains operated in parallel by same or different validators to produce a throughput of 100 Million TPS for example. (since each handles 100tps according to Testnet results)

There is no limit to how many Spoke chains you can use.

Yes, we see a lot of positive news from the AION project recently. Unfortunately, the market does not react on them at all, the price of the coin is at the same level of about $ 4, and apparently the January highs of $ 10 we will not be able to see soon!

Wanchain transfers only value between chains as Wan is only focused on financial sector (loans, investments, ICO fund management, etc...) rather than interconnecting networks like AION

AION allows transfer of BOTH Value & Logic between dissimilar networks such as triggering Smart Contracts between blockchains, etc... i.e. :

1. IF THIS event happens on Blockchain A

2. THEN THAT event happen occur on Blockchain B

. Aion is also all these 3 things at the same time:

1. Full fledged blockchain platform with its own virtual machine (AVM) that can host its own interoperable Dapps that can operate & scale across multiple networks

2. Router Network that interconnects all kinds of networks (blockchains, DAGs, old legacy systems, off-chain APIs or data feeds, etc...)

3. Framework for spoke chains that can be operated in parallel to achieve infinite scalability through interoperability (Unlimited Transactions Per Second)

Dapp developers & large enterprise clients are already migrating to Aion:

. Aion has a working Mainnet & a cross-chain bridge between Aion & Ethereum.

. Cosmos has neither at this point. Mainnet planned later this summer.

. Polkadot has a whitepaper, Mainnet not coming till late 2019.
