Analog — Analog is the world’s first layer-0, Omni-chain platform that leverages proof-of-time (PoT) to validate time data (events). With PoT, all nodes have a fair chance of being selected to validate time data and participate in the consensus process on the Timechain (an ordered sequence of immutable verified time data). This contrasts with proof-of-work(PoW)-powered networks that require computationally-intensive resources to mine blocks or proof-of-stake (PoS)-enabled networks where nodes must stake enough coins. The Analog network is the first realistic attempt in helping the world to move from a “timeless mess” to a “time-driven” environment via PoT consensus. Besides solving the problem of verifiability of time data, the Analog network also prioritizes interoperability. It establishes a radically decentralized, secure, and trustless layer-0 where multiple networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum can anchor their transactions. Most importantly, the Analog Timegraph leverages zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to create a validated pipeline of time data that businesses can privately leverage to power the next generation of time-dependent applications. Unlike other Blockchain application programming interface (API) models that involve the use of third-party oracles, Analog’s Timegraph API allows data providers to become their own oracles on the Timechain. This creates an entirely new marketplace of time data that is set to power the next generation of decentralized applications (DApps).
