structure. According to Oceanlab white-
paper, Oceanlab has a wide range of ap-
plications they plan on building, however,
being a community based project, Ocean-
lab will work on the most important ap-
plications at that present moment. What
this means is Oceanlab may shift gears if a
particular application is in desperate need
of being built. The goal of Oceanlab is to
support the Waves project and the com-
munity around it by building the much
needed applications for that particular
moment in time.
To get a better grasp of Oceanlab, I asked
none other than Sphearis a few questions
about why they picked Waves, about
their unorthodox method of accepting 20
Waves tokens (as well as ETH, BTC, EURO,
USD and Waves) for their ICO and what
applications, out of their large catalogue
of planned applications, do they consider
to stand out from the rest.
Why did you choose Waves and did you decide to build applications
around it?
“Waves was an obvious choice to us because its main purpose is clearly to
build custom blockchain applications for anything. Creating a token on the
platform is accessible to anyone, you’re one form and one click away from
creating an asset which has directly access to a high quality network, fast
transactions, trading... That’s simply amazing.
And you can also specify your own parameters (like amount or decimals)
and define its own personality: By using a personal name and description,
you can link your token to your project right away.
That’s what Oceanlab has been looking into from the start: the human read-
able data provided is registered on the blockchain and clearly visible to any-
one, that makes Waves blockchain far more interesting than the usual sys-
tem where you send one or several units of a cryptocurrency from a point
A to a point B. But it’s still a hard task to filter everything manually, even
from the actual 100 transactions/minute network (which will be even faster
soon). From asset names to attachments, and also with the help of real time
trading data and valuation, we can provide investors and users a clear view
of what’s going on, we use our own engine to run our ICO and show the
investments in real time. Our budget will also benefit from these function-
