ATHERO

INTRODUCTION

The incredible hype and public interest for the crypto world have started a couple of years ago and still continues despite the major correction in the market. While Bitcoin price is going down and all the altcoins are following it, market cap struggling as it is one-seventh of the last year's numbers. All these indicators created a negative air for the future of the crypto investment sector and the screams for Bitcoin's dead are levelling.

However, although it doesn't have a long history, its accelerated comprehension off time frame indicates that crypto never dies even in the circumstances in which other investment platforms such as Forex, commodities would easily die. We can see this when the market is going down, new projects go on to emerge at full speed. Of course, not all of these projects would be reliable and successful for both investors and establishes. For being a success, there are some must units any constructor fulfil.

OVERVIEW

Athero is an ecosystem/infrastructure/platform that will use blockchain technology to revolutionize the way modern internet operates. Progress has brought the internet into a more advanced version of internet 3.0. Together with the progress, the development of IoT is also increased rapidly. Athero is a platform designed to increase trade by combining the Internet of Things and blockchain technology. It'll be the global Cryptofinance ecosystem that supports the advancement of Internet 3.0 and IoT. The infrastructure that is built will focus on growth and prosperity that are economically sustainable. And it will be very profitable because it is no longer dependent on banks or other financial institutions.

The Athero platform that works as Cryptofinance for internet 3.0 and IoT, will change the role of users, IT system vendors and IoT devices in working. This form of a new business model that will involve more user roles and will become a fast expanding community. In addition, the Athero platform will simplify the works of IT system vendors, even in large-scale maintenance of server devices. Unlike the current centralized architecture, users in the new IoT system can dynamically develop data authorization mechanisms and rule for interaction with devices, etc. The device does not only run one function, but with Blockchain can easily interconnect devices, and also allow devices to interact autonomously.

Athero is the new blockchain protocol that is being developed and designed and optimized specifically for business and market applications. The protocol will consist of a "virtual machine" based blockchain and a module specified from the middleware software stack, which operates outside the chain. This will support the decentralization process governed by smart contracts that are applied to the network. Athero is a powerful infrastructure for decentralized apps (dApps) powered by smart contracts.

Vision and Mission

Athero's mission is to create a "World-changing data / financial tool/network". THO blockchain meets IoT. Building decentralized cutting edge blockchain environment - "Internet of Blockchains". Atheroes will develop the internet of blockchains, which is the use of the internet blockchain nowadays. Blockchain technology has great potential to create new business models and bring measurable benefits and values to the public and private sectors. To unlock this potential, the Athero protocol is intentionally designed to address the main challenges that limit the smooth exchange and integrity of data in a smart chain of products.

Contributions to the Athero ecosystem are promises for a decentralized blockchain that is more transparent, collaborative, fair and trustworthy and free of arbitrary fees. Commercial infrastructure of modern society has developed to support the largest market where the most valuable assets are information.

The need for Athero: Market Analysis

According to MarketsandMarkets, the global blockchain market is valued at $286.74 billion (2017) and will touch $7683.7 billion in 2023, growing in the whopping CAGR of 79.6% between 2017 and 2023. The regions of North America and Europe have a market share of 40%, Asia Pacific accounts for 10% and the world holds the remaining 10% of shares.

The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the technologies that has developed lately. Simply put, the Internet of Things is a network consisting of things like computing devices, sensors, electronic equipment etc. With the help of an IP address for everything, you can easily monitor and manage network things from anywhere, anytime and from any device. A common example is using your smartphone to turn on a geyser, air conditioner, or TV at home from your office or other location.

IoT Market Situation. According to a Forbes article, the global IoT market is worth $157 billion in 2016. This value is expected to touch $457 billion in 2020, growing in the whopping CAGR of 28.5%. Manufacturing, logistics and utilities are the three main verticals that will explain the main market share, each of which makes $40 billion. Other sources — Statista, stated that global IoT market revenues were $157.05 billion in 2016. This value is expected to touch $457.29 billion by 2020. Consumer electronics is the biggest industry for IoT followed by the automotive industry.

Athero token (THO)

Athero token (THO) is the main driver of the entire Athero ecosystem. THO tokens are needed to use any service in the Athero ecosystem, of course with minimal costs. Use of the main THO Tokens on the IoT Athero network and Athero dApps. The Athero Protocol is being developed for implementation on its own open source blockchain. The initial THO based on the ERC-20 will be exchanged based on 1: 1 with the original THO issued on the Blockchain Athero.

You can get the THO Token by purchasing Athero tokens during ICO sales, buying on selected cryptocurrency exchanges, participating in the Athero ecosystem by performing certain tasks and sometimes can be obtained through airdrop.

ICO Athero

ICO Athero is carried out with the aim of raising funds and inviting interested people to become part of a technical project. And it will mobilize a united community to contribute to a decentralized blockchain network that is transparent, collaborative, fair and trustworthy.

The token will be distributed in two sales phases:

(1) Personal pre-sale (400,000,000). Private sales are available for 2 months. From 10 July 2018 to 16 September 2018. By contacting 5000+ private companies/individuals to attend Athero Summits in London, New York, Dubai and Tokyo. Athero collects 12,000 000 USD in private sales (at a rate of 0.03 USD per 1 THO). Tokens are distributed at the end of personal sales. (17.9.2018)

(2) (1,000,000,000) through public sales. Public ICO sales will begin September 20, 2018, Saturday, 11:00 am and will end: January 15, 2019, Friday, 11:00 am (GMT).

About 5% of tokens, to ensure extensive distribution, will be dropped to community users and the relevant Ethereum blockchain project that will add value to the Athero Platform.
