Introduction

Peer-to-Peer cryptocurrency usage is increasing at an exponential rate. Halo Platform aims to be a keystone of the crypto ecosystem by creating a robust, fully encompassing platform that fuses the finest parts of the cryptocurrency world together. This in turn will make everyday life for the beginner, amateur, or veteran crypto user easier in many ways.

The team has a vision of expanding the nature of cryptocurrency with a constantly evolving platform that grows with the needs of the users. This serves the people and derives its value from the respective success of each user on its platform.

Each individual in the Halo Platform represents a new link in the ecosystem, creating strength and value within a safe platform and utility. The side effect of helping them with their own growth and promoting their own self-interest is that it in turns creates additional value to and growth from using the Halo Platform.

The deployment and maintenance of Halo Platform will be orchestrated by top-tier cloud consultants who are leaders in their field, empowering everyone with solid crypto management capabilities. The security and cloud-based load balancing will also bring a new, refreshing aspect to traders and investors looking for uninterrupted market access.

The Halo Marketplace and Business Tools features add a smart and empowering dimension to the crypto ecosystem. The Halo Token Hub additionally will allow users to create their own tokens in a safe, secure, and consensus-driven environment for quality assurance.

The Halo Platform will be served by its own low-latency blockchain which will utilize a Zero-Transaction-Fee protocol so that when a user sends 1 HALO, the other party gets 1 HALO, period. These advantages, coupled with highly unrestrictive smart contract deployment limits mean that our blockchain can provide for a seamless experience between platform features and creates almost endless opportunities for new ones.

The Team

The Halo Masternode System

The Halo Masternode system comprises of a four-tier system. This system distributes transactions and allocates data processing in a structured design.

Front Running Invulnerable

Front running goes back to the days of using paper to trade stocks. People would have large orders and run their trades in front of the large order. This would create major opportunity for the ‘front runner’. Some tokens and coins are vulnerable to this same sort of issue with users putting their transactions in front of larger transactions. The Halo Platform is immune to this issue.

All transactions in the Halo Platform are processed by the Masternode system. The Masternodes have no access to change headers, and all transactions are handled FIFO (First In First Out). When a Variable Demand Transaction Block is produced, each tier of Masternode independently validates that no headers, transactions, or timestamps have been altered, creating an internal peer consensus. Once a transaction is submitted then all other new transactions will be submitted after the fact, so no one individual or system can push a transaction to the front of the queue—only close out the current transactions for confirmation to the blockchain.

Masternode Tiers

The Halo Platform masternodes are tiered processing hubs for transactions across the platform. Halo Currency is minted at a rate of 30,400 Halo every four minutes and distributed across the masternodes within an 8 to 24-hour window from the previous distribution.

In addition to these distributions, masternodes also receive a portion of service fees generated across the platform at a rate commensurate with each tier.

Halo Dashboard Smart Features

No Transaction Fees

Gone are the days where you have to make sure you have enough currency to pay the gas to send someone a transaction. If you send someone 1 HALO then they will receive 1 HALO. This is possible because our masternode system will always be available to handle transactions and provide consensus. The smart contracts will have public and private variations that control gas usage. Public contracts will use gas, and private will not.

Safe, Instant, and Anonymous Sending Fees

These three sending features will incur a small fee as they are not your typical method of sending funds.

  • Safe: This sending feature will validate the address being sent to, to make sure it is valid and able to accept funds. If it is, the contract will send the funds. If it isn’t, the funds are safely returned back to the sending address.
  • Anonymous: This sending feature will mask the sending address to protect where the funds came from.
  • Instant: This sending feature will instantly create a new block to be validated and sent up the tier list of masternodes. Using this for quick payments faster than normal blockchain transactions.

Halo Token Hub

Some exchanges offer the ability to create tokens, but when not regulated in the proper fashion, new tokens can be confusing to the users and bad for the ecosystem. Our goal for Token Hub is to be the new standard in ICO creation. With support for ICO launches from resources, to escrow funding, to community consensus for quality and launch process.

Halo Business Tools

Send or receive payments in crypto instantly! We will also allow users to create Checkout buttons for their storefront or for embedding on their own website or blog. Users can accept payments for services and products, or tips and donations. Accept payments, create products, invoice, and more! All done effortlessly with our platform.

Halo Marketplace:

The Halo Marketplace is a perfect complement to the Business Tools section creating an independent and secure place to do business intelligently. Spend Halo and other tokens for services, electronics, clothing, collectibles, jewelry, and more. Users can be both the customer and the merchant with the Halo Marketplace.

Halo Dashboard:

The Halo Dashboard is meant to give users instant access to nearly every feature they might want with the flexibility they need. It allows users access to their profile settings, security, API keys, account verification, and more.

Halo Portfolio:

Users can track gains, check their ROI from holding monthly and yearly, track off-chain assets, and view their portfolio position in BTC and other base currencies as well.

Wallet Integrations:

Halo offers multiple wallet integrations so users don’t have to access different interfaces to get the info they need done fast.

Halo Community:

Giving users the ability to use the Halo Platform friends and groups features to stay in touch with and organize groups for discussion and signals.

Halo Business Services:

We want to make a solid merchant processing platform as a key component of the Halo cryptocurrency ecosystem. Users will be in charge of their own pricing schedules with lower fees than other digital storefronts.

Halo Financial Tracking:

Integrating solid financial tracking and business tracking technology for crypto users to help them track earnings, create invoices, and estimates easily.

Halo Smart Backups:

The importance of backing up not only private keys but also various data formats was not lost on us. Keeping their data safe and secure is important to us and to a successful, long-lasting platform.

Halo Pro Tools:

Pro Tools are items crypto users have all been asking for a long time. We want users to be able to draw and share all the charts they want, create spreadsheets, share them easily, and help with the evolution of toolsets on Halo through feedback and consensus.

Halo Digital Currency:

The Halo coin is designed to be an efficient store of value for the system as it is both tradeable on our platform, generated by users on the platform in the form of fees and is a full coin with its own network.
