The New Position, New Strategy and New Battle Mapped in AOS 2.0 Plan
Overview: entering into the bull market in 2021, the mounting competition in the blockchain industry makes the race in the public chain sector fiercer. As the empty slogans at the early stage fade, the market turns to look for projects with “sustainable development technology and applications”. AOS 2.0 reflects the latest trends in the industry. The highlights of our updates include: upgrade of privacy technological protocol, the blockchain consensus transformation, smart asset framework construction, and the introduction of cross-chain ecology ZkRollup. This round of upgrades is like consolidate the underlying structure when building skyscrapers. The firmer the foundation has been laid, the safer the architecture will be.
The shift of strategic functions: AOS2.0 demonstrates the ambition of AOS who is attempting to transform from a public chain with special features to a comprehensive public chain. For a long time, AOS has been labeled as an expert in privacy and anonymity technology due to its strength in privacy technology. People even mistakenly thought it was a smart contract public chain supporting privacy protection. The release of AOS 2.0 unveils the overall strategy of AOS: penetrate the vertical market through privacy technology, and improve AOS into an aircraft carrier battle group of public chain with super capability.
Explore the cross-chain: it is evident that BTC consensus and ETH ecology are powerful giants. Instead of being enemies, AOS is intended to stand on the shoulders of these giants. To launch cross-chain ecology, AOS will leverage the ecosystem of the two giants based on technology. By introducing the ZkRollup solution in Layer 2, AOS will realize the cross-chain of heterogeneous chain assets and data. In near future, users will have the access to multiple AOS-backed cross-chain assets including BTC and ETH.
Finance, a new stage: if privacy protocol is the first instrument facilitating AOS, finance will be the new stage for AOS to take off. AOS constructs a smart asset framework in the 2.0 version. In addition to develop Defi business, it will also attract new business groups including Cefi (traditional finance). The framework will strengthen weakness while boosting decentralized finance. The new business includes but not limited to traditional financings such as banking, security, and fund.
The defending line behind the privacy: After the upgrade, will AOS downgrade privacy technology protocol an unremarkable part in the strategy. Of course not. AOS still attaches great importance to privacy technology, especially under the competition pressure from new latecomers such as ETH and DOT. AOS adopts a combined solution of Ring signature + Homomorphic encryption + Zero-knowledge proof to improve the privacy protection of smart contracts, thus securing AOS to be the most powerful and advancing player in privacy technology.
