ARGENNON

Argennon (the classical pronunciation should be used: /ɑrˈɡen.non/) is a next generation cloud based blockchain and smart contract platform. The Argennon blockchain uses a hybrid proof of stake (HPoS) consensus protocol, which is capable of combining the benefits of a centralized and a decentralized system. In Argennon, ledger storage and transaction processing are outsourced to the cloud and normal personal computers or smartphones, with limited hardware capabilities, are able to validate transactions and actively participate in the Argennon consensus protocol. This property makes Argennon a truly decentralized and democratic blockchain and one of the most secure existing platforms... The Argennon cloud is trustless and publicly verifiable. Computational Integrity (CI) is achieved by using Succinct Argument of Knowledge systems (STARK/SNARK) and data integrity is guaranteed by cryptographic accumulators. At the same time, a smart clustering algorithm keeps the bandwidth usage and the..
