Color: Colorful dApp Store

COLOR

"Color" is a 3rd generation blockchain platform that focuses on developing dApps. The Color Platform runs on the
"Color Engine" that enables non-technical users to easily develop Smart Contracts.
Utilizing the revolutionarily simple mechanism of Color Engine technology, the "Color dApp Store" aims to create a wide array of enterprise-level dApps.
Instead of hosting a plethora of unrelated services on a single platform, Color dApps will be powered by a single unifying cryptocurrency, the "Color Coin (COL)".
The New Color Standard. Think Color.

FEATURES

The "Color Platform" utilizes "Color Engine" to rebuild the Smart Contact Ecosystem. Color Engine technology enables users to easily create "Auto Smart Contracts"
Users can utilize the "Color Development Kit" to create "Smart Contracts" and "Smart Contract Templates" without any programming.

AUTO SMART CONTRACT

The Color Platform aims to create a new economic blockchain paradigm by enabling almost anyone to create Smart Contracts. By drastically lowering the technical barrier to entry, "Auto Smart Contracts" will finally enable non-technical users to unleash the power of Smart Contracts. "Auto Smart Contracts" integrate data layers capable of storing information beyond the contract itself. Combined with an interface layer capable of accessing and verifying the state of external blockchains, the Color Platform is capable of computationally enforcing the terms of the Smart Contracts. Every Auto Smart Contract will be interoperable with every other Color dApp.
PIXEL PROGRAM

Pixels come together and create a Picture. Fair distribution of tokens has always been a problem. This is why the Color Platform is focused on the fair distribution early tokens and the continued usage of tokens. The "Pixel Program" is a network effect driven referral program that distributes "Pixels". Pixels are awarded on a periodic basis. Pixels in their original form do not have any value. The only way Pixels have value is by sending Pixels to other users. Once a new user receives a Pixel, the Pixel will be converted into Color Coins. The "Conditional Sharing Mechanism" aims to disincentivize hoarding and increase overall user participation in the system.
P2P CONSENSUS ALGORITHM

To minimize power consumption and transaction costs, a new solution to the Byzantine General’s Problem (BGP) is necessary. Researchers for the Color Project are currently at work testing a system that is a vast improvement to any currently implemented solution to the BGP. Most importantly, this solution maintains decentralization, security, and allows for scaling and speeds surpassing centralized payment providers such as Visa/Mastercard. The new consensus algorithm solves what the PoS (Proof of Stake) model originally hoped to achieve at scale, while still maintaining decentralization and security.

dApps

We are still reliant on prototype level dApps that are plagued with scalability issues. Color aims to revolutionize the dApp ecosystem by developing Enterprise-Level dApps. The Color Team has dedicated massive amounts of resources to build Mega dApps. Currently, there are already more than 10 Mega dApps being developed on the Color Platform. Color dApps are powered by the single unifying Color Coin (COL), thereby making all the applications interoperable. Color Coins will be exchangeable seamlessly through the integrated Decentralized Exchange (dEX).

Color Legal

“Color Legal” stores various legal records on the blockchain. Color Legal will provide notarization, certification, and confirmation date. Everyone has to deal with large and small legal contracts in our daily lives, however in order to legally receive & submit documents we must visit the court, registry office, ward office, and submit a seal certificate or letter of proxy. Additionally, for notarization you need the help of yet another administrative agency. Color Legal simplifies all of this and reduces costs. For example, a real estate contract or a money lending contract can be processed as a smart contract on Color Legal. When the conditions are met, interest payments or contract terminations can be automatically executed. Another notable example is legal executions of wills. If you place your will on Legalchain, if the conditions are met, Color Legal will ensure the immutable execution of your smart contract will.
Color Medical

“Color Medical” is a dApp that keeps your medical records secure through blockchain technology. First of all, we can make a big contribution to the medical industry by making it possible to obtain big data about medical care. When using personal medical data from universities, laboratories, etc., the individual who agrees to provide the data will receive compensation for the medical data in Color Coins. In addition, Color Medical enables accurate and efficient medical treatment based on data recorded individually from birth to the present. As the number of users increases and more data is accumulated, Color Medical will lay the foundations for developing into an artificial intelligence treatment platform.
Color TV

“Color TV” is a global content distribution platform focused on K-Pop videos. The major global content distribution platforms used in various countries have two major problems: One is the lack of convenient payment methods to handle each country's currency and the other is that within that platform content consumers do not get any compensation. By using Color Coin as a payment and reward mechanism, Color TV makes it easy to purchase content from within your app and use it as a donation to content-creators via Color Coins. In addition, Color Coin contributed by consumers is distributed securely to the copyright holders, since the contract of copyright is concluded in advance with the content copyright holders (suppliers) through the Smart Platform of the Color Platform.

White Paper

The Color Platform white paper is published!
The Color Platform was designed with the slogan "Colorful dApp Store". The Color Platform provides the Color Development Kit (CDK) to enable the easy development of blockchain services. The CDK makes it easy to develop dApps and Smart Contracts, thereby reducing overall development costs. The Color Platform is developing more than 10 Mega DApps including Color Legal, Color Medical, and Color TV. Color dApps will use a single unified cryptocurrency COL that aims to provide collective synergy to the platform. Check out the white paper for more details.
