INS ECOSYSTEM: The Worldwide Decentralized Ecosystem Connecting Consumers Directly to Manufactures
What Is INS Ecosystem?
INS Ecosystem is the first worldwide decentralized ecosystem. INS provides grocery market where consumers and manufacturers can do the transactions directly without wholesaler or retailers. By buying products directly from the manufactures, consumers can get lower prices, discounts, or other promotions of excellent quality products. Moreover, both consumers and manufacturers can make direct interaction to make the transaction process effortless.
INS Ecosystem Limited integrated with BVI Company, INS, which makes the INS platform, tech, and tokens. INS has a focal point on producing an open source that enables the INS ecosystem’s operation. In order to participate in INS ecosystem, people need to make an account on its platform. Throughout the registration process, the users will be provided with a profile and wallet later on. The profile will keep the user’s data; meanwhile, the wallet offers the information of INS token.
INS founded by professional people, Peter Fedchenkov and Dmitry Zhulin. Fedchenkov got his MBA from Harvard University. Meanwhile, Dmitry Zhulin got the Ph.D. in Finance from the University of London, and he has been experienced in crypto-assets and Bitcoin. With their experiences in retail, tech, and e-commerce, together they make INS company become the first worldwide grocery market to connect manufacturers and consumers directly.
The founders of INS has experienced in the grocery industry for years. They develop Instamart, the largest grocery market in Russia that provides delivery operator. Instamart had more than 200 workers and cooperated with largest retailers and grocery manufactures in a country, including the FMCG companies such as Coca-cola, Mars, P&G, Unilever, and Pepsi co. After four years experience in Instamart, they finally found the inefficiencies in the grocery industry. Then, they create INS Ecosystem that provides fair ecosystem between consumers and manufacturers.
Besides Fedchenkov and Zhulin, INS is also managed by other professional teams. Dmitry Khovratovich manages the blockchain and smart contracts in the INS. He has four years experiences in this field and becomes an expert in cryptography for 12 years with 2,000+ citations.

The Decentralized Financial Service For The Credits Platforms As The Future Digital Payments
The increasing demand for digital payment transactions is due to the digitization performed by every primary provider of staple needs. Since traditional market transfers to markets occur then CREDIT developments must be done to meet the needs of digital transaction users. The market digitization keeps on increasing the demand for digital payments. Payments made using conventional banks in practice take longer. To simplify the transaction the seller’s platform must provide multiple accounts from each different bank. The transaction fee charged is also quite hefty. A decentralized system with the use of blockchain has been present to provide solutions related to transaction speed and offer affordable cost.
CREDITS is a platform that implements a decentralized system using blockchain. The deal will happen in a smart contract. CREDITS provides a place for interaction between participants within the ecosystem. The concept applied to the CREDITS platform is peer-to-peer (P2P). The affected financial services will be based on a distributed ledger with own execution capability by each smart contract. Everyone within the platform can offer and provide financial services. Balanced and undefined technology makes CREDITS offer new technical solutions from a conceptual interaction model that may occur between participants in the network. The developed services will simplify any transactions that may occur in a decentralized system.
Possible financial services within the platform will adhere to peer-to-peer rules so that each participant performs financial transactions such as money transfers, currency exchange, funding, lending, and other services that can occur directly. Additional intermediaries are not necessary at all in the conduct of transactions. The absence of intermediaries will make deals happening easier, faster, and cheaper. The revolution in the financial industry must begin immediately by applying a direct interception in a decentralized system. Digitalization of financial services will bring the system through the stages of the revolution to become better in the future.
All financial participants will be incorporated into the ecosystem can receive all services safely and quickly with the application of the principle of the distributed ledger. The federal voting done in running smart contracts will give some restrictions to the participants in creating the interaction in each selected financial service. The use of blockchain will form a new potential for the economic platform by offering low speed and transaction costs. CREDITS will be one of the first financial service providers to use a decentralized system by prioritizing the convenience and convenience of transactions for participants in the platform. For more information, you can visit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2401248 and https://credits.com/Content/Docs/TechnicalWhitePaperCREDITSEng.pdf to access the white paper.
The Architecture Of CREDITS Platform That Delegated Proof Of Stake
In its development, CREDITS will use a network ledger system which will use smart contract methods that support any agreement made within the ecosystem. Some types of network nodes are also used based on decentralized network development goals based on free access from node connections. Then the general blocks book will sync with all the public ledger on all system nodes. The knot will also be synchronized in determining the definition of the overall trust of verification. Besides, CREDITS also uses a network consensus system as an appropriate method for group decision making.
Systems running within the ecosystem are a set of network nodes that process, store transactions, and confirm some requirements within smart contracts. The system also plays a role in processing requests made by third parties and providing information on the data requested. On each client computer will be installed the network so it will form a node that is connected to the standard system. The node will act as a verifier and will list every event in the ledger. Any transaction that is authenticated by the system and stored on the network node will be recorded in the ledger. Deals are items within the system that are indicative of the demand for performing a quick contract method and any action on the network. Every transaction that happens will be recorded in blockchain results.
The system items used in the ecosystem also include a Smart Contract that will allow members to obtain agreement by the terms of interaction. The logic of the contractual relationship will be applied in the user interface with centralized source independence as the leading property in the smart contract in a decentralized system. The calculation of the results of the work is entirely the responsibility of the Smart Contract method applied and will record any agreed terms into the ledger. Contract-related parties are final network participants and CREDITS system users.
Network nodes that are implemented in the running of the system will use standard nodes that participate in the verification to achieve validity. Common nodes have a minimum trust factor that is a candidate for a trusted node role. The common node will also be the current node of the processing in the next cycle in the selection of node roles in the network. The next node contained in the node is a trusted node that has the maximum trust factor. The trusted node is a candidate for each node role in processing current and common nodes. As long as the number of elections and voting is calculated mathematically, this node cannot be trusted. The calculations performed will depend on the number of nodes and the complexity of the network. The node that has the responsibility to add transactions to the ledger block is the primary node. The node will use a trust factor with a numeric value of 0 and 1.
The general ledger term used in the system means that a single unit of information stored therein will contain the previous block hash code. All data lists associated with the ledger will be related to the last number associated with the block. The transaction will take its place within the block after receiving the block from another system according to the number so that it will save more bandwidth of the network. Block number will be checked first as long as synchronization is done. When the block is gone, then the block will be downloaded and saved back by the node. It will make the most recent copy in the ledger and will be called the last book. The recording will be done by the node that has responsibility for the ledger formation.
Each data stored in the ledger will send blocks to all existing data nodes remain up-to-date, and there is similarity of data ledger in each current system node. The node will always be associated with other nodes within the network so that it will continue to exchanging blocks with transactions that occur. It is also done to keep information relevant. The set of operations will be formed in all blocks to wait for additional data to be done in the ledger. So it will be possible to store the data in the accounting several times for each server and node system. All information will be protected because more and more nodes in the network then the system will be more reliable and more independent.
Sync node is done every new node to define definition and trust thoroughly in the verification process. All processes that occur will be handled simultaneously and independently so that the level of processing information will always be improved. The bookstore will be empty, and space will be backed up in RAM when no incoming variable makes access simpler. When the required ledger is not available, the request will be sent to a trusted node. The node will receive all transactions, and then account synchronization will be performed. Disbursement will be done in sync that runs when the input parameter is the object that characterizes the deal. The operation generates the numeric code to be started to determine the position number in the ledger. The thread will end when the method ends with an error connection.
CREDITS uses the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) concept as a group decision-making method. When the node identification process generates a block, it will perform maximum liquefaction in each pile that occurs between competing node participants. Compensation made to increase the ledgers in the blockchain will be provided for fix mining blocks. All vertices on a decentralized network will cause none of them have priority. It is essential to be able to define a network node so that it can process the transaction queue stored in the network node. Then the transaction block must be entered to be stored in the ledger.
The Contribution of Sales Token For CREDITS in the ICO event
Pre-ICO has been completed on December 26, 2017. The results obtained are also quite significant. Total contributors who participated in Pre-ICO are 700 participants and made in 1100 transactions. The number of tokens sold is 4,029.12 ETH or equivalent to 3,002,135 USD. If you want to contribute, then you can follow the sales of ICO which will begin on 1 February 2018. Make sure you keep up with the information so as not to miss the time of contributing. To join as a contributor, you can register at CREDITS official website at https://credits.com.
The first step when you will participate in a token sale is to fill in some information already available on the registration form. You can enter a minimum amount of contributions to join. Make sure you have an Etherum address first. You may only participate if you have an Etherum address, if you do not have that address, you will also be disqualified from a smart contract.
The amount of your contribution will determine how much information you provide. The amount of grant under 10 ETH will require necessary information only. But when your contribution amounts to 10 ETH and more then you will be asked for additional information such as full name, address, and some other extra documents. It aims to meet Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures so you do not have to worry because the information you provide will be safe on the platform.
CREDITS provides some ease in digital payment transactions. Not only that, but financial services can also be done through this platform such as currency exchange, funding, withdrawal, and other financial services. The use of blockchain technology will create a decentralized network with the achievement of an agreement using smart contracts. The distributed ledger will also make any transaction data safely stored. The use of the CREDITS platform will save costs as it offers the security and comfort of good deals for a right price too. Do not miss the CREDITS token contribution event on ICO to participate in CREDITS development as a financial services platform in the future. The development of CREDITS can be updated through the following platform community in social media:
