Apollo is very much the newest of these platforms. The project is presented as containing all of the features that the other projects have in one way or another already pioneered while adding a few features of their own. Apollo was originally a fork of the NXT platform rather than Ethereum which unlike the other technologies in this list, gives importance to privacy and control over one’s data. Unsurprisingly this is also one of Apollo’s main objectives. In addition to multiple layers of privacy for one-to-one transactions through technologies like IP Masking and integrated coin shuffling, high scalability is also at the core of Apollo’s feature set with Hermes 1.0, Apollo’s newest update incorporating 2-second block speeds, faster than any of the other platforms.
Apollo is a platform that is still very much in active development, perhaps more so than other technologies with core features still being worked on. Development has been consistent though, and features include a marketplace to allow users to list goods and sell them worldwide in a decentralized way, and which is fully finalized and decentralized is already live. This forms a key part of Apollo’s premise of avoiding regulation.
Steve McCullah, Apollo’s Director of Business Development is bullish about the currency’s prospects.
“The Apollo Foundation has launched the first all-in-one cryptocurrency focused on integrating every useful feature from mainstream cryptocurrencies and combining those with unmatched privacy and is now the fastest, most private and most feature-rich cryptocurrency on the market. Because of recent breakthroughs such as it’s Updater, which updates the blockchain using a transaction, Adaptive Block Generation and it’s two-second blocks, there is a case that could be made that Apollo is also the most advanced cryptocurrency.”
A key selling point made by the Apollo platform is that the platform is unregulated, meaning that the privacy elements to it will be beyond any government control. At the same time, they promise to make the platform easily accessible to those who don’t have a bank account by providing physical buy locations, mobile options, and even creating a physical currency.
While details are scarce, another major development for Apollo that is planned for 2020 is Smart Contract support. We are yet to see what sort of languages they support and how the smart contracts will be, such as Turing completeness, which only time can tell.
