Simply put, Ubiq is the stable, enterprise-ready build of the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is a cutting edge technology that is continuously evolving and leading in development but, as a result, is consistently in an alpha stage. There is nothing wrong with an alpha stage, as it is where the majority of advancement occurs. However, for enterprise-wide solutions, an alpha technology is far too risky to release. It contains bugs and vulnerabilities that cost large sums of money to fix and update at later stages. Take windows for example with the recent ransomware attack on over 200,000 pc’s in over 150 countries; this is the reason the massive companies worldwide are still using Windows 7 and not the unstable, untested and most of all vulnerable windows 10 build. As such, for large scale enterprise applications, a stable build with all working features are preferred. This is Ubiq’s value proposition, the reason it’s on the map, and the reason the community behind it consists of some of the brightest and most experienced individuals in cryptocurrency. Ubiq will only take tried and tested features from Ethereum to implement on to the Ubiq blockchain.
