RSK white paper- Rootstock Bitcoin powered Smart Contracts platform
Rootstock (RSK) – Bitcoin powered Smart Contracts
“…Rootstock (RSK), a smart-contract platform that incorporates a Turing Complete Virtual Machine to Bitcoin. It also provides other enhancement to the network such as faster transactions and better scalability, features that we also believe will enable new usage scenarios.Continue reading→
Interledger connectors protocol
Interledger is an open protocol suite for sending payments across different ledgers. Like routers on the Internet, connectors route packets of money across independent payment networks. The open architecture and minimal protocol enable interoperability for any value transfer system. Interledger is not tied to any one company, blockchain, or currency.

Stellar payment protocol
Stellar is a open source consensus protocol, forked out of Ripple.
White paper by David Mazières from Stellar Development Foundation “introduces a new model for consensus called federated Byzantine agreement (FBA). (…) and Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a construction for FBA. Like all Byzantine agreement protocols, SCP makes no assumptions about the rational behavior of attackers. Unlike prior Byzantine agreement models, which presuppose a unanimously accepted membership list, SCP enjoys open membership that promotes organic network growth. Compared to decentralized proof of-work and proof-of-stake schemes, SCP has modest computing and financial requirements, lowering the barrier to entry and potentially opening up financial systems to new participants”
Zerocoin Project – Zerocash protocol
Zerocoin is a project to fix a major weakness in Bitcoin: the lack of privacy guarantees we take for granted in using credit cards and cash.

Smart Contracts – Nick Szabo
Smart Contracts: Building Blocks for Digital Markets
Copyright (c) 1996 by Nick Szabo
“…New institutions, and new ways to formalize the relationships that make up these institutions, are now made possible by the digital revolution. I call these new contracts “smart”, because they are far more functional than their inanimate paper-based ancestors. No use of artificial intelligence is implied. A smart contract is a set of promises, specified in digital form, including protocols within which the parties perform on these promises.Continue reading→
