SuperHero — ækiti
The best thing I love about 'SuperHero' is the ability to reward a good deed using just a simple web address. Isn't that amazing?
They say Superhero is a fully Peer-to-peer (P2P) social money network through which users can tip any Uniform Resource Locator (URL), but I say SuperHero is an exceptional open-source blockchain technology that promotes giving in a decentralized way using æternity blockchain technology. Okay wait, What is æternity?
I think of æternity as a blockchain technology that has a strong aim of solving blockchain scalability issues. However, technically æternity blockchain is an Erlang-based scalable smart contract platform engineered by programming pioneers to address some of the most fundamental challenges native to earlier blockchains; while generally, æternity is an open-source blockchain platform that solves the problem of scalability, usability, efficiency, governance, real-world data, and contract security.
