Review on Hyperion by Japheth Ayuba
Hyperion is a map service provider that aims to benefit all Community members
Hyperion is a Location based Blockchain Service LBS that aims to benefit all community members by redefining location data collection, service providing, consumption and rewards distribution via it's three main arms; Titan, Map3 and Atlas Chain. It's use case is to provide a unified view of global map data via it's decentralized map services to users at a low cost without risking users privacy. Built on the Spatial Consensus Protocol, Hyperion uses a Proof of Hybrid consensus for it's protocol. By redefining location data collection, sharing and rewards distribution, it aims to change the way we use map services in a whole new level. In pursuit of its goal, Hyperion is serviced through three
1. Titan: This is a privacy-sensitive map application built for mobile devices user to search out a location, burn location traces and via it's cryptographic library, users can share a location to friends and family with no external organization knowing where you are and where you are going. This Cryptographic Location Sharing CLS is a feature available for it's app on Android
2. Map3: This is the main part of the Hyperion protocol as it can be used to create and use arbitrary map layers but in compliance with custom usage policy. The decentralized infrastructure of the Map3 is scalable to provide 1000x performance and low
3. Atlas Mainnet: This is the high performance spatial consensus blockchain for the Hyperion map service project. It solves spatial service requests like map asset transaction and validation. It also includes features like censorship resistance, open participation and fault tolerance
It's a great project and will change the way we use map services with the power of Blockchain
Pros
- This is a project focused on one single use case, providing decentralized privacy fixed maps to the public without risking their location to other organizations
- Supports Cryptographic Location Sharing CLS which is used to share locations to friends and family without leaking those information about where the user is and where they intend to go
- Hyperion uses the Proof of Hybrid PoH consensus protocol for it's security
- The decentralized infrastructure of this protocol is scalable to provide 1000x performance at a low cost
Cons
- Going through the project, I see a great future for this protocol. There is no negative comments on the project
