Waves Platform[edit]

Waves Platform is an open-source blockchain platform,[5] featuring a distributed cryptocurrency exchange, Smart Contracts and built-in custom cryptocurrency token creation.[6]. Waves Platform predates the formation of the company Waves Platform AG and it's launch was funded by an Initial coin offering (ICO) that raised more funds, in the form of Bitcoin[7], than the previous Ethereum ICO.

Vostok[edit]

Vostok[8] is a universal blockchain solution for scalable digital infrastructure designed for large enterprises and public institutions.[9] Based on the Waves Platform software, its services utilise Waves-NG[10] , itself based on Bitcoin-NG[11] - a next-generation consensus algorithm, increasing network capacity, stability and speed. Vostok is a product offering private, permissioned blockchain based databases, distributed computing and integration services. Alexander Ivanov attended the 'Digital Capital of the World' event in the City of London, on during May, 2018 where he presented an outline of the Vostok business model and, in his view, its raison d'etre.[12]

Promotion of Regulation and Legal Frameworks[edit]

Soon afer incorporation, Waves Platform formed a strategic partnership with Deloitte[13][14], the ICO Governance Foundation and other organisations to create a self-regulatory association aiming to regulate and shape the responsible growth of ICOs and practices within the blockchain industry‏. The association intends to provide reporting, legal, tax, accounting, KYC and business due diligence standards to the token crowdsales and initial coin offerings that have become a controversial cornerstone for blockchain startup funding.
