WaykiChain’s Technology
Consensus Mechanism
Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) is a consensus algorithm maintaining irrefutable agreement on the truth across the network, validating transactions and acting as a form of digital democracy. Delegated through token holders’ vote, ledgers nodes will package all the transactions in the block and get corresponding reward. DPOS can maximize token holders’ interests and network performance, meanwhile minimize the maintenance and operation costs.
WaykiChain adopts DPoS, which is the most adaptive consensus mechanism for developing and operating applications on chain. The block is successively generated by 11 ledger nodes. Every 10 seconds, a new block will be generated on WaykiChain. Verified by WaykiChain mainnet operation, the transaction confirmation speed can reach 1000+tps.
Vote Mechanism
WaykiChain adopts DPOS consensus mechanism with 11 ledger nodes. When a block is generated, a node is elected with the most votes according to random perturbation algorithm from the 11 nodes. Then ledger node gains all of the transaction fee in its ledger block. Users can get proportionate votes by locking their WICC. Every node can be cast for 11 candidates at most. Every voted user will be awarded proportionate interest. When users’ corresponding accounts’ votes changes, the interest from voting will be received automatically. The first year’s rate of interest is 5% and it will decrease 1% annually during the following years. Finally, the annual rate of interest will be fixed at 1% permanently.
Smart Contracts
WaykiChain is a smart contract platform that supports Turing devices. These smart contracts can help in a variety of real-world applications including copyright issues, decentralized exchanges and asset problems. It adopts DPOS consensus mechanism, sets up 11 voting nodes, and generates a new block every 10 seconds. According to detailed calculation by WaykiChain team, currently, the confirmed transaction speed can reach 1000+tps.
WaykiChain’s smart contract can be built using the programming language Lua. Lua was developed in the early 1990s and has an extensive developer community. It has been used in desktop development, web development and the Internet of Things. It also is one of the easiest programming languages and hence it provides an incentive for developers to code on WaykiChain’s platform.
Sidechain
The most popular smart contract cryptocurrency Ethereum, failed when Cryptokitties were released. Ethereum’s network was unable to handle the massive influx of users. Thus, scalability remains a huge problem. Fortunately, WaykiChain has a feature known as sidechains which can deal with huge amount of users. Applications built on WaykiChains will have their own sidechains and they are not linked in any way to each other.
WaykiChain Ecosystem Development System
WaykiChain ecosystem development system is driven and co-developed by three parties: WaykiChain core developers, open source community developers and business developers. In the decentralized system, WaykiChain team will provide technical standards and community contribution incentives to ensure that the entire ecosystem moves forward as a whole. On the basis of the underlying public chain, plug-ins, and smart contracts, business developers are able to develop applications efficiently and build their own brands with blockchain’s credit endorsement.
WaykiChain plans to establish Technology Research Academy to gather a group of outstanding developers with decentralized blockchain beliefs. WaykiChain will provide underlying technology support and standards. Developers in the academy can free communicate, learn from each other and co-develop a fully decentralized community.
Ecosystem Layered Architecture
WaykiChain technology stack consists of four layers: the core node layer, the wallet node layer, the application platform layer, and the DApp application layer. Any developer can choose which layer to start development based on their own development capability, business needs, and application flexibility needs. WaykiChain core technology team is committed to providing the develop-friendly interfaces of each layer and improving the technical documentation to help the community better build the ecosystem.

How Does WaykiChain Work?
WaykiChain uses a DPoS consensus mechanism with eleven accounting nodes. The annual rate of return is 5% for the first year, with a 1% increase with every year that goes by. Each time a block is created, an accounting node is randomly associated. The accounting node gains all of the transaction fees in its accounting block. Users can earn interest by locking WaykiChain coins. The interest is automatically determined each time the votes for the corresponding user account change.
The terms of betting are triggered by the initiator through smart contract transactions. Users can initiate various betting contract transactions, all of which can be searched and identified in the block browsers. When the betting is over, the bet initiation will publish the final results and the gaining will be then shared accordingly. In short, the betting revenue is automatically issued to the user’s wallet after the betting results are displayed.
The smart contract provided by the platform makes it possible for asset initiations to create dividend sharing rules. These rules are only triggered by various conditions. Hence, the final price of the assets in circulation will be determined by the market’s behavior towards the object in the transaction.
WaykiChain Applications
Token System
Waykichain Token, WICC is a token only used and circulated in WaykiChain Wallet DApp. WICC itself does not have any FIAT characteristics. By consuming WICC as a kind of fuel, users can use applications on WaykiChain; by locking their WICC for a certain period of time, users can share the revenue from WICC Lock Revenue Sharing Plan; and by voting for effective and stable accounting nodes, users can earn related interest. WICC can be obtained by participating in the lock plan, by accounting, voting, and subscription, or by trading with other holders. This means WICC will be listed on lots of exchanges and traded with other cryptocurrencies, thus WICC also has trade value.
WaykiChain Block Explorer
WaykiChain official block explorer is a data display system for WaykiChian applications, which displays the WICC transfer and transaction records, account balances, prediction games transactions, and payout results according to application data on the blockchain. All data is open and transparent and inherently irreversible.
WICC Lock & Revenue Sharing Plan
In order to reward all community supporters and provide a channel for application operators to make retribution to community, WaykiChain launched WICC Lock & Revenue Sharing Plan. Application operators can provide a portion of the proceeds to the community members to encourage their contribution to the entire public chain, and to motivate the community to continuously improve the public chain as a more robust underlying system. Investors can lock their own WICC, as a way of showing long-term optimism about the project, to get a certain amount of revenue.
Investors can lock a certain number of mainnet WICC through the entrance in WaykiChain DApp. During the lock period, this part of WICC cannot be traded, transferred, or consumed as transaction fee. When the lock period expired, WICC will be automatically unlocked and become tradable. During the lock period, investors will receive WICC revenue at the end of each month. The amount of each investor’s WICC revenue is related to his/her WICC lock volume and duration, total WICC revenue generated during the period, and the total WICC lock volume and duration of all investors participating in the lock plan during this period. Specific calculating formula is as follows:
WICC Lock revenue Calculation Formula:
Each investor’s daily WICC revenue = Each investor’s lock index / The sum of each investor’s lock index * Total WICC revenue that day
Each investor’s lock index = Each investor’s WICC lock volume * Time index * Volume index
Decentralized App
The first smart contract based application delivered by WaykiChain’s team is the WaykiChain decentralized betting application. In this application, the smart contract will assign a time duration in which the user can engage in the betting process. All the conditions related to betting will be given. When a bet is finished, the contract will release the results. The smart contract will then reward the winners.
This DApp was launched in May 2018, attracting over 130,000 users to download and bet and has been upgraded to V2.1 ever since. The latest product WaykiBet DApp V2.5 is planned to launch in November along with a new WaykiChain wallet.
WaykiBet V2.5 enables a new feature that everyone can be a bookmaker. With the authoritative event data and services provided by WaykiChain DApp, user even without any technical or product background can build a bet in simply one-click. And at the end of the game, WaykiBet will automatically call the smart contract to calculate the bet results and deliver payouts, without any manual participation.
Besides, WaykiBet V2.5 has exempted the betting fee through the structure optimization and allows the player to participate in the betting directly after creating a new wallet without activation to ensure users outside of the cryptocurrency industry can be involved in the easiest manner.
WaykiTimes Wallet
The new WaykiChain wallet, named as WaykiTimes will retain the original wallet functions, such as Lock Revenue Sharing and node voting. The newly added “Forum” gathers the community of WaykiChain and blockchain together, will become an ecology of open communication. Meanwhile it will has a “News” section to meet different users’ needs. In the future, WaykiTimes will implement WaykiChain token economy to encourage the community members.

What are WaykiChain’s advantages as a public chain 3.0?
There are three different types of blockchain: public chain, consortium chain, and private chain. Public chain refers to the consensual blockchain that any individual or team can read and send transactions to, and obtain valid confirmation. Public chain, also known as the non-license chain, is totally open to the whole network that any node can access or leave at any time without any permission. As a public chain of blockchain 3.0, WaykiChain has the advantages of high speed, high stability and flexibility, and low handling fee, providing rich development tools and perfect development environment for worldwide developers. Adopting DPoS consensus mechanism, sidechain technology and other technologies, WaykiChain can process 1000+ transaction requests per second. Relying on its strong strength of underlying technology and innovation, WaykiChain can effectively support high-traffic application scenarios and realize the landing of WaykiChain ecological applications.
What is WaykiChain decentralized betting application?
WaykiChain decentralized betting application is the first smart contract application launched by WaykiChain team. Each betting is triggered by the application developer via a smart contract. During the period specified in the contract, the users can initiate betting transaction, and all betting records can be traced on the blockchain browser and can never be tampered with. The smart contract will automatically reward the winners based on the final result. WaykiChain will use smart contract to automatically execute the game rule on its public chain. Instead of relying on trust between people, WaykiChain betting application adopts trust among machines to save credit costs, and guarantees full compliance with the rules setting. Besides WaykiChain Official, the developers of the decentralized applications can be any other third-parties. WaykiChain welcomes all developers to join.
What is WaykiChain Address?
WaykiChain address is a 34-bit string consisting of English letters and numbers that may look like digital gibberish. My WaykiChain address WXv6xP8yVW4PkZ3DPvxqfBtfz7Bof1RJHm, as an example, looks like this. All transfer records for each WaykiChain address can be found through the blockchain explorer. The address is a personal WaykiChain account like your bank account number. Anyone can transfer WICC to you via your WaykiChain address. How do I get my own WaykiChain address then? You can download a WaykiChain Wallet on WaykiChain official website, or register one on trading platforms. Each user’s WaykiChain address is unique. It should be noted that each WaykiChain wallet can only create one address, therefore the wallet mnemonics must be kept carefully.
What consensus mechanism does WaykiChain adopt?
WaykiChain adopts DPOS consensus mechanism, a new algorithm to guarantee the security of cryptocurrency network. DPOS consensus mechanism can offset the negative effects of centralization through implementing technology-based democracy, and maximize the effectiveness of the public chain through nodes accounting. DPOS can be understood as giving the token holders a key to open the voting rights corresponding to their tokens, instead of giving them a shovel to mine. DPOS can maximize the profitability of the token holders, minimize the cost of network security, maximize the efficiency of network, and minimize the cost of network operation. WaykiChain has 11 accounting nodes in total. The nodes are generated by the token holders’voting. If nodes are making trouble or cannot account normally, the token holders can change their votes, so that there will be other nodes to replace to ensure that the public chain can be operating normally.
What is WaykiChain mainnet migration?
WaykiChain (WICC) mainnet migration is the process of replacing the previous Ethereum-based token ERC20 TOKEN with WaykiChain mainnet token. WaykiChain public chain, through several months of testing and rigorous evaluation from the exchange platforms after its release, has been fully proven to operate efficiently and stably. Mainnet migration marks that WaykiChain public chain is actually putting into use. After the mainnet migration, various applications and developments based on WaykiChain can be launched, and the service period of WaykiChain public chain truly starts. The dividend mechanism, voting mechanism, gas consumption, and accounting fees on WaykiChain ecosystem are all completed by the mainnet token. The previous ERC20 tokens do not have these functions. By the end of June 26th, AEX Exchange, CEO Exchange, and Bying Wallet have supported WICC mainnet migration. There will be more exchanges and wallets supporting the migration in the future. Please follow WaykiChain’s Wechat official account for more details.
Are there any requirements or restrictions for developing projects on WaykiChain?
WaykiChain’s code is completely open. WaykiChain welcomes third parties worldwide to develop, carry and operate various application products on WaykiChain, and finally form a diversiform public chain community ecology. WaykiChain is happy to provide public chain technology support for any individuals or third parties. Applications developed and operated by third parties, based on WaykiChain public chain, need to comply with local laws and policies. Only after obtaining related licenses, permits or qualifications required by local laws and policies, developers and operators can launch and operate their applications on WaykiChain. Because of blockchain public chain’s globality, anonymity, open code, and the limitation of our ability, WaykiChain Official cannot judge the identity of third parties, nor have the ability and right to verify, supervise, control or interfere the third parties. Therefore, third parties should bear responsibility of their own actions.
What is WaykiChain Block Explorer?
WaykiChain Block Explorer is a system that displays all transaction information on WaykiChain and provides visualized track services. Technically, a block explorer works by scanning the block into the database server and then setting up a Web access service. Users only need to import the transaction hash to check whether the transaction has been packaged and confirmed. From the point of product, block explorer is more suitable to be called as asset explorer, which provides asset certification for users so that they don’t have to visually identify or manually analyze the transactions themselves. The block explorer also provides statistics of blocks and transactions, helping users to directly understand the activity of the blockchain. The statistics can also be translated into various indexes for investors to understand the project. To track the transactions, users can search relevant information on WaykiChain official website through WaykiChain wallet address, transaction hash or block height.
