DREP is a blockchain connector and toolkit featuring gamification tools. The project supports one-click deployment of decentralized applications on multiple public chains.
The DREP Chain is based on an improved version of the traditional Practical-Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant (PBFT) consensus mechanism and Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPOS) consensus mechanism. DREP Chain is further compatible with smart contracts in the Ethereum Virtual Machine and WebAssembly formats. The DREP Chain has a dual-layer structure consisting of a root chain and customizable sub-chains.
A node can transmit real-time data executed in a smart contract to external applications through the Smart Pipeline, which will then take the results back to the blockchain after the computation is done. Smart Pipeline aims to handle more complex application scenarios while offering a more flexible and economical execution process with zero gas consumption.
The DREP token has multiple functions such as paying for gas fees and as a means of payment for transactions between sub-chains and for trading assets in future DREP games.
1. What is DREP?
DREP is committed towards building connectors and toolkits based on blockchain technology, providing solutions that are flexible and convenient for developers and users in general. Developers will be able to easily integrate multiple public-chain versions of dApps, built-in wallets and asset trading platforms using the DREP Chain, DREP Decentralized ID, DREP Software Development Kit ("SDK"), and DREP Client.
The DREP Chain utilizes the Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerant algorithm, and is compatible with smart contracts in the Ethereum Virtual Machine and WebAssembly formats. The DREP Chain has a dual-layer structure consisting of a root chain and customizable sub-chains. DREP proposes the concept of Smart Pipeline to improve data processing ability. A node can transmit real-time data executed in a smart contract to external applications through the Smart Pipeline, which will then take the results back to the blockchain after the computation is done. Smart Pipeline aims to handle more complex application scenarios while offering a more flexible and economical execution process with zero gas consumption.
The DREP token has multiple roles including being the network gas fee, means of payment for transactions between sub-chains and for trading assets in future DREP games, etc.
