A new ICO project, HPB, will be held in Bitshares. HPB is short for High-Performance Blockchain. Different from other Blockchain systems, it will use block chain dedicated hardware to achieve high performance.
From its white paper, "Therefore, HPB is designed around block chain dedicated hardware acceleration units (including hardware and firmware acceleration) and software engine matching(system driver and software interface API hardware acceleration). Through parallel processing ability of CPU, GPU, FPGA and serial ASIC chip, it achieves high performance and high speed concurrent computation."
Token sales starts at 2017-08-23 20:00:00 UTC+8.
