The Aion-1 blockchain acts as Router at the core of the Aion network. It has a Virtual Machine (AVM) which gives Aion 2 major advantages:

1. Instant Finality: The Aion-1 VM has parallel transaction processing to make sure Aion-1 doesn't become a bottleneck for performance while routing transactions between blockchains since they have different confirmation times.

2. Interoperable Dapps: The Aion-1 VM can host Dapps that read & trigger logic between different blockchains:
. IF THIS happens on blockchain A
. THEN THAT should happen on blockchain B

The more I read about POA, the less impressed I get.

POA is simply an Ethereum side chain that uses Proof of Authority consensus. Aion features a number of advancements from Ethereum, particularly the FastVM/AVM, spoke chain creation, custom scripting language, hybrid DPoS/PoI consensus model, and of course bridging between disparate blockchains that allows transfer of value AND logic.

POA uses 12 validators (https://github.com/poanetwork/wiki/wiki/What-is-POA) (17 registered (https://validators.poa.network)) which are all public notaries, so consensus is centralized and vulnerable to a number of exploits and attacks. POA's token bridge only uses 3 validators, and is subject to daily use limits due to attack vulnerabilities.

POA's token is an ERC677 (http://blockchainers.org/index.php/tag/erc-677), which is basically an ERC20 with a transferAndCall function added. This token standard was built specifically with backwards compatibility in mind (i.e. to be converted back into ERC20). POA's "token bridge" just converts from a barely-more-advanced version of an ERC20 back to an ERC20. The ERC677 and ERC20 tokens are so similar, they can be stored in the same wallet address.

Aion's coins feature an upgraded address system (https://blog.aion.network/aionaddresssecurity-ff4362196b24) for additional security. Moving between Aion's unique address convention to ERC20 and back presents a more complex challenge.

Importantly, as far as I can tell POA has no other interoperability functionality in development or even planned.

Aion is all these 3 things:

1. Full fledged blockchain platform with its own virtual machine that can host its own Dapps, not just any Dapps, interoperable Dapps that can operate across multiple networks.

2. Router Network that interconnects blockchains or DAGs via the Aion Bridging Protocol that allows transfer of both value & logic between networks.

3. Hub & Spoke framework to infinitely scale networks by creating multiple custom spoke chains to route transactions & avoid bottlenecks on the main chain.


Aion's Competitive Advantages:

1. General Interoperability

Aion is developing a protocol and bridging system that will allow transfer of value and logic (if this then that) between blockchains, enabling interoperable Dapps. Other interoperability chains only seek to make interoperability possible between and among their own networks, or only transfer value.

2. The Team

Aion's team is second to none. Founder Matt Spoke is CEO of Nuco, whose clients include the government of Ontario and TMX Group. Before that, Matt headed up Deloitte's blockchain team. Matt is a founding board member of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance and a founding steward of the Muskoka group with Don and Alex Tapscott and Joe Lubin. Aion's advisors include Ethereum co-founder Anthony Di Iorio and two TMX Group execs. Their growing team of 35+ has double-digit engineers, and Aion will soon have teams in Shanghai, Barbados, and Romania.

3. Partnerships

Aion's list of partners continues to grow. It includes Fortune 1000 companies (like Moog), leaders in finance (Deloitte), and even other blockchains (Icon, Wanchain, SONM, Metaverse, Enigma).

In this new design, instead of those connected via social media channels or Google's search or forums, the blockchain uses their separate protocols - Cardano, Ethereum, Bitcoin, NEO, Tron. , EOS, NEM - will connect, communicate, share, gain consensus, and perform complex operations. Since all these blocks speak different languages, Aion will act as an interpreter. As a third generation blockchain, Aion goes beyond first-generation blockchains designed for peer-to-peer transactions, such as Bitcoin, and second-generation blockchains that handle more complex functions, such as contracts. intelligent Ethereum. It mounts all the blockchain together and creates a fabric, similar to the web.

Aion is a not-for-profit project by Nuco Global that has 4 main competitive advantages:

The Tech
Aion is developing a protocol and bridging system that will allow transfer of value and logic between blockchain networks, like what TCP/IP protocol and routers did for isolated intranets in the 1990's.

Aion will enable interoperable dApps that can make changes on one blockchain based on changes on others. For example, an entry on a hospital's blockchain about a medical procedure could trigger a dApp that verifies coverage on an insurance blockchain and then triggers payment on a bank's blockchain. Other interoperability projects only seek to make interoperability possible between and among their own networks, or transfer value but not logic.

Aion plans to release its first interchain bridge soon--a decentralized token bridge (technical documentation; video explanation) to convert Aion ERC20 tokens on Ethereum to native Aion coins on Aion's upcoming main net. One-off bridges connecting Aion with Ethereum and other private and public blockchain networks will be developed and tested on an ongoing basis, leading up to the release of Aion's generic bridge in phase 3 (currently projected for release in 2019).

Aion's virtual machine (AVM) is being built for speed and efficiency. The FastVM (the current release) has already achieved major speed and efficiency improvements over Ethereum's virtual machine in benchmark tests. Aion's test net is grinding through huge transaction numbers in stress tests. You can see the test net in action live on Aion's dashboard and explorer. The AVM (projected for release in phase 2 later this year) will achieve even faster transaction speeds through parallel transaction processing (which is like going from a one-lane road to a 64-lane superhighway).

The AVM will allow users to generate custom, Aion-compatible "spoke" chains connected to Aion-1 (the main public "hub" blockchain). This means quick and simple blockchain creation tailored to a user's particular blockchain infrastructure needs (like privacy and speed). Spoke chain generation is also projected to be released in phase 2 later this year.

Aion's spoke chain functionality will also address scalability because resource-intensive dApp operations can be off-loaded from Aion-1 (or other blockchains) to spoke chains. For example, imagine if most of the CryptoKitties dApp's breeding and trading operations were performed on its own chain before the final state information were reported back to the Ethereum network to avoid network congestion.

The initial main net release utilizes a modified Proof of Work consensus algorithm and rewards can be earned by mining. On Aion-1 (hybrid consensus release in phase 3, 2019), validators/nodes will receive rewards for processing transactions and validator backers (Delegated Proof of Stake stakers and Proof of Intelligence solvers) will earn rewards by supporting the validators. Aion bridges will also have their own distinct network of validators and fee distribution structures. The PoW and hybrid consensus releases will coexist via bridging, so Aion's coin supply will exist on and between both chains.

The release date of Aion's main net will be announced soon, and may fall before the end of April. More details on the tech are available in Aion's white papers (with more technical papers to be released later in the roadmap) and on Aion's Forum.

The Team
Aion's team members have been building blockchain networks for government and enterprise clients for years--and now they're building one for themselves.

Founder Matt Spoke is CEO of Nuco Global, a blockchain infrastructure company whose clients include TD Bank, the Ontario Government, and TMX Group. Co-founder Kesem Frank talked about some of this work at FFCON18 recently.

Before that, Matt co-founded Deloitte's blockchain team, Rubix. Matt is a Founding Steward of the Muskoka Group with Ethereum Co-Founder Joe Lubin and Don and Alex Tapscott, and a Founding Board Member of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance. Matt has been appointed as Advisor to the Ontario Securities Commission and Ministry of Finance.

Aion's advisors include Ethereum Co-Founder Anthony Di Iorio and TMX Group's VP of Innovation & Enterprise Delivery, John Lee.

Aion's growing team of 35+ already has double-digit engineers and is planned to double in size before the end of the year. Aion will soon have teams in Shanghai, Barbados, and Romania in addition to their new, bigger headquarters in Toronto.

The Partnerships
Aion's list of partnerships includes Fortune 1000 companies (Moog), leaders in finance (Deloitte), and other blockchain projects (Icon, Wanchain, SONM, Metaverse, Enigma, Bancor, Bitt, and SingularityNET). Additional partnership announcements are expected in the coming weeks and months.

The Message
The Aion team is in the middle of their World Tour and laser-focused on establishing a network of developers to build on Aion and enterprises who can use Aion to build their own blockchains and connect with other public and private blockchain networks.

May 2018 is going to be a particularly big month. AionEX is Aion's inaugural developers conference on May 2 in Toronto. This leads right into EDCON, Ethereum's community developers conference May 3-5 in Toronto, which Aion is Super Sponsoring and at which Matt Spoke is a speaker. In mid-May, Matt also plans to speak at Consensus 2018 in NYC.

TL;DR - The Tech is truely next-generation. The Team is top-notch. The Partnerships are impressive. The Message is spreading worldwide.

--And Aion's just getting started--

The potential network effect cannot be overstated. Aion may not corner the interoperability market completely, but it is poised to dominate, particularly in the North American and enterprise markets.

since TRX will be launching main net, everyone is following this. Everyone is leaving ETH blockchain. But I think utility tokens should be better ERC20.

If AION does not meat the roadmap before 2020, i am more than sure that the project will be a fail and everyone is gonna dump their tokens.

I am not trying to be a pesimist guy, but it is obvious that they need to fill up their roadmap soon.

You have to look at the big picture with the Aion project (which has a 2 year road map) to truly understand its goal and why they named their milestones after mountains.

Nonetheless, groundbreaking releases are right around the corner, including the smart contract super highway. The Aion-Ethereum bridge is projected to be released this summer. The Aion Virtual Machine (featuring parallel transaction processing) is scheduled for release before EOY 2019.

DApps have been waiting for this kind of scaling solution and will start migrating over immediately, quickly, and en masse.

When traffic on and between both networks spikes and Metcalfe's Law takes effect, hold on to your hat!
