An infinitely scalable cryptocurrency and smart contract platform based on DAG + blockchains. The Helios platform is designed from the ground up to be futureproof with secure, high speed, and low fee transactions, and to enable truly decentralized and democratic applications.

The Helios platform is made up of a large number of independent
blockchains connected through a DAG:

Every wallet address has its own blockchain that contains only transactions to or from that particular wallet address. All blockchains are connected through a DAG formed by transactions. When a transaction takes place, it is only added to the blockchains of the sender and receiver. The blockchains of all other wallet addresses are entirely unaffected. This completely eliminates the bottleneck caused by requiring all transactions to be placed on a single blockchain and allows transactions between different users to occur concurrently. The transaction throughput also grows with the number of wallet addresses on the blockchain allowing it to scale indefinitely.
The Helios platform will be capable of executing Solidity based smart contracts and dApps. This will allow the creation of efficient, fast, and secure decentralized solutions to vastly improve systems such as governance, financial technology, energy grids, supply chains, social networking, health care, fake news, climate change etc... Furthermore, the use of Solidity as the language will enable rapid adoption by the existing development community and seamless migration of existing dApps.

The Project

High speed, Scalable

The parallel blockchain infrastructure results in many orders of magnitude higher transaction throughput than Bitcoin or Ethereum...

Low Transaction Fees

The high transaction throughput, and low upfront and continuing node costs will result in transaction fees that are orders of magnitude lower than Ethereum or Bitcoin...

dApp platform

The Helios platform will be capable of executing smart contracts and dApps programmed in Solidity. We are also taking measures to ensure rapid adoption and growth of the ecosystem...

We're Green

The Helios consensus mechanism doesn’t require mining. This results in 6000 to 9000 times less energy usage as compared to Bitcoin...

Secure

The Helios consensus mechanism maintains the same level of security and immutability as PoW, while providing additional features such as slashing that don't exist with PoW...

Transaction Order

Each user decides the transaction order of the transactions in their own wallets and can add blocks to their blockchain at any time they choose...

No ICO

The Helios project is entirely self funded and not having an ICO. Instead, we are giving away all tokens to bounties, airdrops, dApp incubator, exchange listings etc... (see token metrics)

Truly decentralized

All aspects of the Helios consensus mechanism are designed to eliminate the centralization of power. From not requiring delegates, to full control of individual blockchains...

Phase #1

This is the very first phase of the project and will have deliverables of all the groundwork and non-blockchain items. These are required to build a strong brand and community for Helios. A fundamental principle of any blockchain is to provide true freedom from centralized powers by having a fully decentralized and democratic community. Therefore, we recognize the importance of developing a strong community for the Helios project.

The Helios protocol prototype is also under active development throughout phase 1, but will be delivered in phase 2.

Phase #2

This phase of the project will involve ramping up blockchain development and creating all of the tools for the community to get involved in order to accelerate growth of the project. In this phase, we aim to prove that this blockchain can accomplish all of the things we say it can. We believe this phase will open the eyes of potential developers and community members and show them the true power of the Helios protocol.

Release blockchain prototype July 2018
This prototype will be a proof of concept for the new parallel blockchain protocol, consensus mechanism etc...
Post bounties on Bounty0xJuly 2018

Hiring more employees.

Current

Begin marketing and community outreach August 2018

Release blockchain testnet November 2018
Hackathons November 2018
Schedule hackathons to encourage dApp development.
dApp ecosystem expansion November 2018
Reach out to Ethereum dApp developers and help them migrate to the Helios blockchain

Phase #3

This phase of the project will involve continued marketing and development of the test net with support for smart contracts and dApps.

Phase #4

This is the final phase of development. After this phase we will continue marketing and growing the community and ecosystem indefinitely.

Release mainnet February 2019
Continued marketing February 2019
Continued reaching out to dApp developers February 2019
Growth of the community and dApps February 2019

Token Metrics

Total Supply: 350,000,000

Ethereum contract address: 0xf5d714d9cd577b7daf83f84aea37a1eb0787e7ad. We will have a 1 to 1 swap for mainnet tokens once it is launched.

In the spirit of decentralization and democracy, we have chosen to not have an ICO. The Helios project is entirely self funded and bootstrapped. We will give away almost all of our tokens as bounty rewards, airdrops, and to fund dApp developers over a period of 3 years. Firstly, this will give everyone equal opportunity to participate in the project and ensure the tokens are distributed to a large number of individuals for improved democracy. Secondly, we will be rewarding, among others, strong community members, hard working developers, and social media influencers who help build the Helios community, project, and dApp ecosystem. These are the individuals who matter most in creating sustainable growth of a decentralized blockchain platform. By rewarding them, we will also accelerate the growth and adoption of the Helios protocol.
