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).

- Goin — Goin is a mobile application to save money easily and take advantage of it without knowing how to invest, through Machine Learning algorithms that allow you to accumulate the user's money through small daily gestures. he three Spanish founders, David, Carlos and Gabriel, were looking for a way to optimize their own money, and decided toconduct an experiment by exchanging their debit cards and thus saving 62% during those two months of rehearsal. This is how Goin emerged, which aims to meet the needs of 100% of Millennials, of which 83% confess that they do not know how to save, making available an easy-to-use tool that enhances their finances and lifestyle. On the one hand, the Barcelona startup allows the user to add money automatically and multiply it without having previous knowledge of investment. Goin uses a simple system that first asks to know the user through questions about their habits and, in this way, they are offered automatic systems and methods of saving. Once the user adds money to the app, they can transfer part or all of it to investment, or to their bank account. Its Smart Saving technology manages to accumulate money with small, everyday gestures, such as rounding a payment.
