Background
The history of banks began 2,000 years ago with the loaning of grain. Later, the
ancient Greek and Roman empires adopted the acts of depositing and exchanging
currency. Since then, we have always been very naturally accepting of the involvement
of banks in our every transaction.
Currently, when individuals exchange currency, they do so through banks without a
second thought. Most people do not see banks as middlemen like they do real estate
agents. Then in November of 2008, an anonymous programmer under the name of
Satoshi Nakamoto claimed that a bank, or a third party, is in fact completely
unnecessary in individuals’ exchanging of money.
He, she, or they, released Bitcoin to the world, announcing that “The central bank
must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full
of breaches of that trust.”
The world has already made rapid progress with blockchain, the core technology of
Bitcoin. The progress is synonymous to how a population that only used cash has
evolved to one where everyone uses a plastic credit card – but the pace of change
is so rapid that even when compared to the speed at which the Internet changed
the world, it triumphs.
While blockchain is a system of distributed transactions that doesn’t require a central
bank, numerous banks around the world are in turn racing to study blockchain and
showcase its implementations. Meanwhile, Satoshi Nakamoto released to the world
an open-source program that demonstrates the ideologies of blockchain.
Since then, more than thousands of cryptocurrencies including Ethereum have come
into existence, and we have already entered the path to a world of cryptocurrencies
and blockchain-based systems. Cryptocurrency and blockchain have been proven to
be of value by the demand from the market and from the people like us, despite the
8 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
controversy surrounding them.
The economic and social effects brought by a cashless society are that the digitization
of all monetary transactions will end up reducing costs incurred by cash, a real
currency. An examination of the costs incurred from the use of cash in different
countries reveals that while Nordic countries are at 0.3% of GDP, a relatively low
metric, a cash-dominated country like Russia score relatively high at 1.1%.
In the United States, the use of cash is costing the government around two hundred
billion dollars of expenses per year, on top of a loss of one hundred billion dollars
per year from double tax evasion – the highest in the world. According to a study
by McKinsey&Co., the scale of underground economies in countries with less than
50% cash payments average at 12%, while those with more than 80% cash payments
average at an almost tripled 32%.
A cashless society can also reduce various crimes caused by cash use. In a related
study, the crime rate in Missouri dropped 9.8% after the type of welfare subsidies for
low-income earners was switched from cashable coupons to registered electronic
payment cards. In types of crime, robbery and theft involving the possession of cash
declined the largest amount since this enforcement. Crimes not directly related to
the possession of cash, such as tax evasion and bribery, can also be reduced and
prevented by a cashless society since all electronic transactions leave a trace.
Financial institutions, including banks, are setting up various security measures in an
attempt to keep their transaction ledgers safe. Meanwhile, Satoshi Nakamoto is
overturning the way we think about centralized security practices: instead of a system
where important information is kept away from the public and in the dark, Satoshi
came up with a method of preventing the tampering of data by publicly sharing all
information, suggesting that the more people share the data, the safer the system
becomes.
Amidst the fever for cryptocurrency and blockchain, we hear news of various
cryptocurrency crimes on a daily basis – but it still doesn’t compare to the frequency
9 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
of cash-related crimes. In 2017, CNBC reported that criminals are ruling out
cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as a tool for committing crimes since it has become very
easy for authorities to track Bitcoin transactions.
Although it is difficult to identify strict metrics regarding the criminal use of digital
currencies, Shone Anstey, co-founder and CEO of the Blockchain Intelligence Group,
estimated that the proportion of illegal trade of Bitcoin has dropped from around
half of the total trade volume, to around 20% last year. According to CNBC sources,
criminals are beginning to sense change and Bitcoins are no longer being treated as
a possession of criminals but instead as a common, legal capital.
In the United States, cryptocurrency exchanges have been given official approval to
operate in some states. In 2013, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) became the first
in the world to impose a tax on Bitcoin. In the European Union, VAT is not imposed
upon purchases of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as they are recognized as currency.
In May of 2016, Japanese lawmakers amended the Act on Settlement of Funds to
begin to accept cryptocurrencies as a public payment method. As a result, it was
clearly stipulated that no taxes, including consumption tax, will be imposed on
cryptocurrencies. Although the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries are currently
undergoing a transitional period filled with disputes and issues, they have only just
begun.
The world is already caught up in a frenzy of cryptocurrency and blockchain. Sadly,
however, this ‘frenzy’ that we speak of can otherwise be called ‘speculation’.
Satoshi Nakamoto’s historical announcement that “the history of fiat currencies is full
of breaches of… trust,” gave us reason to believe that we can eventually move out
of a ‘centralized transaction system’ and into a ‘decentralized transaction system’ to
shift the power from the ‘central’ to the ‘public’, be given equal chances of
participation in the system through ‘mining’, and safely store assets via this innovative
technology that will protect ledgers from being hacked and tampered with. In this
way, people anticipated that they could finally be free from the continuous “breaches
10 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
of… trust” of the central bank once they were rid of its control.
But what has actually happened? A revolutionary blockchain system has come to be
recognized by the general public as a tool that encourages cryptocurrency
speculation, and the legalization and practical applications of blockchain technology
are being confused with those of cryptocurrency. What is really a race for countries
around the world to implement blockchain systems is being packaged and promoted
as a race to implement cryptocurrencies, along with a propaganda that leads people
to believe they could be the next heroine of a fairytale where 10,000 BTC goes from
having the value of two pizzas to 70,000~80,000 times the worth, all in all degrading
the valuable technology to a mere tool for Alt Coin speculation.
No central authority in the history of mankind has allowed its power to be taken
away so easily. When the public started to make use of the equal opportunity that
was ‘mining’, the power of capital had already put a mining factory in motion, and
in turn, our personal computers failed to provide us with any opportunity.
Cryptocurrency is based on a system that is fundamentally hack-proof and therefore
designed to keep our ledger protected and assets safe. Cryptocurrencies, however,
have been hacked on numerous occasions because they were held not in
‘decentralized exchanges’ but in ‘centralized exchanges’, and the assets we believed
were safe, vanished right in front of our eyes. Customers were generally unaware of
the fact that this blockchain technology – supposedly safer than traditional banking
– in fact had nothing to do with the internal mechanics of centralized exchanges.
Hence, they trusted these centralized exchanges with their assets, only to see them
disappear in a flash. It would have come as a shock to the customers who had at
least never experienced outright theft with traditional banks.
The history of crypto exchanges, too, has now become “full of breaches of…trust”.
These exchanges abused their possession of customers’ assets and assumed the role
of their delegate without agreement, all with a clear priority of maximizing their own
profit over maximizing the safety and profit of the public’s assets.

The problems with fiat currency, illustrated by historical records, will not be solved
by cryptocurrency but simply transferred onto a digital world. The Internet brought
along with its rise the revival of the porn industry – but is that reason to blame the
Internet? Likewise, are we going to blame and discard blockchain for all the harms
that were brought along with it? Even now, numerous cryptocurrencies and ICOs are
using blockchain as a mere buzzword while taking advantage of the public’s misled
expectation that the value of their coins will rise, in order to encourage speculation.
Since the birth of ‘PazCoin, the world’s most beautiful cryptocurrency’ was announced
in Buenos Aires, Argentina on November 28, 2017, it has shed light on various
problems that have surfaced and declared to work to provide solutions.
PazCoin and PAZ Systems were developed with a vision to return to blockchain’s
original spirit and to lead the way in using cryptocurrency and blockchain to make
the world a beautiful place. We will continue to work with our friends around the
globe and with PazCoin users in order to turn this vision into reality.
Most ICOs and cryptocurrencies premise that blockchain will spread just like the
Internet has, using it as a basis to advocate that their cryptocurrency will shoot up
in value when blockchain and cryptocurrency soon become ready for primetime – a
belief no less elusive than the infamous Bitcoin-pizza story.
Many also predict the collapse of a bubble in cryptocurrencies and blockchain. If this
prediction is proved accurate, those who had hoped for the realization of a crypto-
and blockchain-world and participated in ICOs, will be the ones to be sacrificed on
the altar of failed ICOs and failed development efforts.
The fastest and most direct way to give financial help to someone in need is to be
able to hand over amounts of cash in your pocket to someone you run into on the
streets, according to your liking and your situation. Now, through the global network
system that is blockchain, we are able to extend this help as far as to someone on
the opposite end of the earth, at the same speed and convenience.
12 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
For people sending money to family members overseas like immigrant workers
sending money back home or families with children who study abroad, they are often
required to pay an expensive transaction fee, go through a complicated and
inconvenient authentication process, and wait for the transaction to pass through
more than four institutions over 2 to 4 days, all for a small amount of money. The
culture of donations is yet another victim of this remittance system of today. The
pure will and desire for peace has been tied down by the transaction fees, the long
authentication process and the constraints of time and space. The fact that a twenty-
dollar donation is sent through the system only to come out the other end as less
than five dollars, is evidence of a reality that still requires numerous stages of
transaction costs and deductions related to operating expenses of institutions.
What is worse is that most donors aren’t aware of this devious reality behind what
seems like a simply beautiful system.
We plan to pursue commercialization by applying the feature of blockchain that is
most intuitive to its fundamental spirit, ultimately leading the way in the advancement
of blockchain systems and of society as a whole. PazCoin and PAZ Systems will build
a global remittance/payment network by actively utilizing the pioneering
technologies of PAZ Remittance, a solution for overseas remittance and payment,
and further developing the global network, as well as make efforts to improve the
regulations and regimes between countries through cooperation with international
organizations.
PAZ Systems, with a team of highly proficient experts in each field, has prepared a
timely alternative to the rapidly changing blockchain industry and crypto market. PAZ
Systems, in addition to PAZ Remittance for remittance services, will release PazDeX
(Decentralized Exchange) for a transparent and secure transaction system.
Although ‘anonymity’ is considered a strength of cryptocurrency in that it requires
only the wallet address and simplifies the authentication process, the fact that it can
simultaneously be exploited as a tool for crime, needs to be addressed aggressively.
In 2017 alone, there have been more than 12 hacks on crypto exchanges, and over
13 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
the last few years, a damage worth 1.25 billion USD in cryptocurrencies has been
done.
As a decentralized exchange based on blockchain technology, rather than a
centralized one, PazDex ensures security with verified technologies like traffic
distribution and server load balancing, and the best developers in each field. PazDex
is fundamentally a trustless network and has no central hub to control the funds.
Users are able to manage their own assets at all times, and all transactions are P2P.
These features of PazDex inherently restrict the unconsented handling of customer
funds, which has been a common occurrence on centralized exchanges. PazDex also
complies with the KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering)
procedures in all countries. Users will easily be able to access PazDex from anywhere
in the world through its franchise network that spans the globe. Lastly, PazDex
enables a smooth and easy exchange process through its user-friendly UX, simple
mechanism, and customer support.
PazTalk is also implemented as a decentralized platform, through which users can
conveniently send and receive PAZ. Unlike the traditional social networking sites,
information exchanged between users on PazTalk do not pass through a main server,
but are handled by the users’ own computers.
PazDex, a secure decentralized exchange, PAZ Remittance, a global remittance system,
and PazTalk, a decentralized social networking platform, will work together to
effectively deliver the maximum benefits to users.
Unlike the creators of Altcoins who proposed no real solution to the illegal activities
and hacks that attacked the users of their own tokens and Main-nets, we, at PazCoin,
will put our best effort into ensuring that our customers are happy and that their
assets are protected.
In addition, in the world of fiat currencies, numerous international financial
institutions like the World Bank (WB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), Inter-American
14 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
Development Bank (IDB), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and Asian Infrastructure
Investment Bank (AIIB) are working to establish international partnerships, create and
revise international standards, and take measures to restrict or support matters
regarding the currency – efforts which are almost nonexistent in the world of
blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
PazCoin and PAZ Systems will establish international partnerships and form expert
committees with specialists worldwide, in an effort to create order and stability in
the blockchain and cryptocurrency markets – both of which are currently in a
transition period. We will do our part in increasing the value of cryptocurrency until
it becomes an everyday application, instead of a mere subject of speculation,
ultimately becoming a vehicle for genuine happiness.

1. Vision of PAZ Project
PAZ Remittance PAZ Remittance is a system whereby PAZT and other cryptocurrencies are sent and
exchanged simultaneously. Through PAZ Remittance, assets are transferred securely
and quickly between individuals, and the transferred cryptocurrency is automatically
or manually exchanged into the fiat currency suited to the receiver.
The Paz Remittance platform consists of three key components:
§ Cryptocurrency Remittance App & Server
§ Cryptocurrency Exchange App & Server
§ Cryptocurrency Trading App & Server
The figure below shows a process where a user in Korea is remitting to a receiver
in China using PAZT, and the money is deposited into the receiver’s Chinese bank
account in the local fiat currency (CNY).
16 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
The next figure shows a process where a user in Hong Kong is sending funds, using
a prepaid card, to someone in the USA who receives the money in USD, the local
fiat currency.
PAZ Remittance provides a global system through which users are able to send
PAZ PAZ/U
USA PAZ Wall
17 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
PAZT to anywhere they wish in the world, and the funds will be exchanged into
the respective local fiat currency. We call this global system Paz RemittanceGlobal.
1.1 Paz RemittanceGlobal’s Vision
PAZ RemittanceGlobal’s visions are as follows.
v Our vision is to build a global remittance service network based on
blockchain technology, in all parts of the world.
v Our goal to is provide a reliable technology so that anyone can send or
receive funds from anywhere with minimum cost and maximum
convenience.
v We are developing a blockchain-based technology as well as a self-
activated business model to enable wide adoption of our service.
1.2 Principles of Paz RemittanceGlobal
PAZ RemittanceGlobal provides a reliable and decentralized and stable
cryptocurrency PAZT via innovative technologies, enabling a liberating overseas
remittance experience. The platform aims to provide a low-cost, ubiquitous
paradigm of multiple-currency exchange for the global citizens, based on the
following principles:
A. Exchange between all types of currencies: We intend to provide a platform
to enable all types of currency exchange such as
ü Fiat-to-fiat
ü Fiat-to-digital
ü Digital-to-digital
B. Independent: We intend to remain independent from any kind of authority
or central control. Owned directly by its users, the platform will never be
affiliated with any political party, economic, or financial organization.
18 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
C. Borderless: We aim to eliminate all political and geographical barriers so
that everyone around the world will have an opportunity to freely exchange
funds without any obstacles or restrictions.
D. Frictionless: We intend our service to remain online, so that users can
access our service anywhere, at any time, at extremely low costs.
E. Legal Boundary: We intend our service to remain inside the legal
boundaries of international guidelines and currency exchange regulations.
1.3 Structure of Paz RemittanceGlobal & Regional Remittance Center
Paz RemittanceGlobal is operated with regional centers as its understructure. The
role of these regional centers is to establish a local customer base as well as
operate local remittance services and currency exchange services.
19 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
The PAZ RemittanceGlobal Network consists of four layers of contributors that
cooperate with each other, as illustrated below.
The roles of each layer are as follows:
1. RemittanceGlobal : Top layer, in charge of engineering, regional partners,
rule setting, and global marketing
2. Regional Partner : Second layer, in charge of regional marketing, recruiting
point persons, and operating regional currency exchanges
3. Point Person : Individuals who are in charge of recruiting users (End
Customers)
4. End Customer : Remittance service users
20 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
Below is a flowchart that shows the operational structure of the PAZ Regional
Remittance Center and RemittanceGlobal.
PAZ RemittanceGlobal provides all software components necessary for
establishing regional centers.
21 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
PazDex (Decentralized Exchange)
PazDex takes on a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of existing
centralized exchanges and the strengths of decentralized exchanges. While
decentralized exchanges offer a stronger security of assets, they fall behind in
liquidity, ease of use, and range of functions compared to centralized exchanges.
PazDex plans to overcome these shortcomings through offering an easy UI/UX and
an integrated wallet through which users will be able to conveniently manage their
assets and trades. Furthermore, we plan to address the issue of liquidity through
collaboration with centralized exchanges.
The differences between a CEX and a DEX are described in the chart below. The
major difference is in who manages the funds: while in an CEX the exchange
manages all of the users’ funds, in a DEX, the users manage their own funds, under
their own responsibilities. With PazDex, users will not only be assigned their own
wallets, but also manage their own private keys.
22 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
The figure on the next page shows how Ethereum Smart Contracts are used in the
operation of a DEX. In particular, it shows the system through which user A and
user B transfer their funds from their individual wallets to the their respective
PazDex wallets in order to trade. This trading mechanism is enabled through the
use of Smart Contracts and will be introduced as a beta version of DeX before the
full version is released.
Exchange controls users’
funds
Users control their own funds
Run by Central Authority
Operates Autonomously (no third party)
No hacks for central server or
downtime

The figure below shows the implementation of PazDex as its own complete
platform.
24 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
PazTalk (Decentralized Social Media)
PazTalk is a decentralized platform which, like any other popular social networking
sites, enables users to create open profiles, share information and communicate
with each other. Unlike the traditional social networking platforms, however,
PazTalk allows its users to exchange information directly, one-on-one or one-on-n,
without having to pass through a central server.
When a PazTalk user sends a message to his or her friends and family, it is delivered
through a P2P network. All data and information regarding messages sent on the
network are stored in a distributed storage network based on IPFS (Interplanetary
File System), which keeps the messages safe from outside surveillance. To ensure
privacy and stability, the PAZ System is designed to securely manage all data and
also to allow users the option to make their messages disappear after a certain
period of time. The aim of IPFS is to enable the creation of a fully decentralized
app, and make the Web faster, safer, and more open. We plan to implement this
IPFS in PAZ Systems to ensure the privacy and security of all user information
stored on the network.
The decentralized PazTalk has the following characteristics:
- Decentralized Architecture
All exchanged data and multimedia are encrypted and stored in the distributed
IPFS.
- Self-Governing
PazTalk is managed and controlled by each user, who creates his or her own rules.
Users remove unimportant messages and spam themselves, and we plan to pay
PAZ in return for their efforts.
- Integrating Decentralized Wallet
PazTalk and PazWallet work together seamlessly. No third person controls or
25 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
owns the users’ assets. In other words, each user will be in complete control of
their own assets.
- Existing SNS like Facebook Migration Tool
PazTalk System plans to provide migration tools so that users can easily transfer
their data including user profile, recent posts, and friends lists, from existing social
networking sites like Facebook and WhatsApp.
- Guarantee Privacy
We do not own any content or information that belong to our users. We do not
share our customers’ personal information with anyone. We assure that
information that is deleted by users will be permanently removed and that no
copies will be saved.
PazTalk is an innovative messenger where users can securely and instantly forward
messages, as well as PAZ. Users can also choose to have their message translated
automatically upon sending. All data and information will be stored in a place that
is out of reach from third party viewing or inspection.
- Secure transfer of PAZTs in conjunction with a message
n PAZT to PAZT
n PAZT to Fiat Currency with PazDEX
- Automatic translation of messages into user-specified language upon sending
- Exchanged messages stored securely in IPFS

2. PAZT Cryptocurrency
PAZT: A Blockchain CryptoCurrency
PAZT is a pure cryptocurrency with a fixed supply. PAZT has been built with an
architecture that makes it divisible and not subject to long-term inflation. However,
as explained below, most of the PAZT supply will be stored as reserves and for
exchange purposes, and a required supply of PAZT will be distributed into the
market in the near future.
Like with other cryptocurrencies, PAZT’s unit of account PAZ is fungible and
transferable, and expected to trade and be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies
as well as legal tender. PazCoin is issued as a stable cryptocurrency with a fixed
amount and fixed price. The implementation of PAZT used in PazDex, PazTalk and
PazRemittance is described below.
Implementation: GoChain GO20 Token
PAZT is compatible with Ethereum and incorporates all the benefits of Ethereum
and is implemented with GoChain, which has a TPS speed 100 times faster than
Ethereum. GoChain is more than 7500 times cheaper gas fee than Ethereum.
GoChain (gochain.io) supports smart contracts and DApps and is compatible with
all programs developed on Ethereum. GoChain is a scalable, high-performance,
low-cost cryptocurrency and blockchain that can run decentralized programs.
• Build decentralized applications and rock solid smart contracts
• Fully compatible with existing Ethereum wallets, smart contracts and other tools
• Fast transactions and high volume - 5 second blocks, 1300 tps
• Low fees - 7500x cheaper than Ethereum
28 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
The table below compares the speed and transmission rates at the current state.
Of course, Ethereum and Bitcoin are continually working on various projects for
scalability, and we believe the speed will be improved, but it is not the situation
that can be applied right now. Therefore, the cryptocurrency used in the PAZ Project
are implemented as GO20 standard specifications on GoChain, which is compatible
with Ethereum smart contracts. Several organizations have reported that GoChain
has performed well in all respects when comparing Ethereum with GoChain under
the same conditions.
29 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
3. The PAZ Clients KYC Process
Cryptocurrency can be overwhelming for consumers who have never interacted
with the technology before – and rightly so, as unfamiliar language like ‘transaction
fees’, ‘private keys’, and ‘32-byte wallet addresses’ can be as much as entry barriers
for most users. Paz System removes this complexity and improves the experience
for customers.
In order to participate in PazCoin, users must first sign up for PAZT Wallet through
the PAZT KYC process. The KYC (Know Your Customer) process is done online and
the whole process takes three minutes to complete. The user must upload a valid
photo identification, upon which the server will examine the photo using a
verification software, and register the user. Additional requirements such as email
authentication and residency verification are used as supplementary KYC processes.
Unlike the traditional wallets where the majority of important user resources such
as the private key are stored on the server, the PazCoin Wallet will be implemented
as a system where users will control and be responsible for their personal
information. This fundamentally prevents the compromise of user assets in case of
server hacks, and will be a necessary building block in the implementation of the
DeX.

4. Paz System Blockchain
The Creation of PAZT and the Ledger: GoChain compatible with Ethereum
The average block time of the Ethereum network as of August, 2018 is 15 seconds.
The Ethereum network is currently operating on a Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain,
which has a slow processing speed. However, once Ethereum shifts to a Proof of
Stake (PoS) system and scaling solutions like Sharding, Plasma, and Raiden are
implemented and verified, the block time is expected to decrease significantly.
The number of daily transactions on the Ethereum network is growing steadily. As
of 2018, the number of transactions per day has reached 800,000 and is expected
to increase further as new applications are launched and more users join the network.
The Ethereum network will be adjusted with new resources to handle higher volumes
and increase processing speed.
Vitalik Buterin’s research on scalability suggests that Ethereum would eventually
achieve 1 million transactions per second, but only once innovative approaches are
taken in order to improve the Ethereum blockchain. Of the problems that need to
31 / 41 | PAZ: Peace Token
be solved, the first is that the verification time of an Ethereum transaction takes
longer than what is expected by the average user – hence is not yet practical for
applications that require fast responses. The second is that for every transaction on
the Ethereum blockchain, a fee must be paid. To address these issues, PAZ Systems
is planning to develop its own PAZ mainnet. This mainnet will either be Ethereum-
based, or its own blockchain that is a variation of EOS. Once Ethereum or EOS is
technologically stable and transaction speed is dramatically improved, we will use
either one of the platforms to develop PAZ System mainnet. Ethereum and EOS are
both great blockchain platforms, but we feel that it is still too early to judge which
one is better. EOS offers better solutions in areas where Ethereum is lacking –
scalability, TPS (Transactions per second), and cost of using DApps – but there are
areas which have not yet been technologically verified. On the other hand, Ethereum
has been responding to competitors by announcing a roadmap with plans to
improve performance: including implementation of Sharding to increase scalability,
Raiden to improve transmission speed, and Casper for shifting to Proof of Stake
(PoS).
A popular challenger to Ethereum, EOS started out with a blueprint for blockchain
operating systems and supporting smart contracts as well as overcoming the issue
of speed, which has been the biggest pain point for Ethereum. These areas are
closely related to the issue of scalability – and as a solution, a new consensus
algorithm has been proposed by the EOS camp, which is the Delegated Proof of
Stake (DPoS) method. DPoS is different from the traditional Proof of Stake (PoS) in
that it is a consensus mechanism using the concept of delegates.
This means that rather than every EOS owner participating in policy decision
processes and block production, twenty-one elected representatives are delegated
these rights. As of April 2017, Ethereum handled 20 transactions per second, whereas
EOSIO Dawn 3.0 scored around 1000 per second. However, this still falls short of the
target for the EOS development group Block.one, which is 8000 TPS – we’ll have to
wait and see how far they get.

Another shortcoming of EOS is transaction fees. Users of the Ethereum network pay
a fee called ‘gas’ for every transaction. With EOS, on the other hand, users can make
as many transactions as the amount of tokens they own. Thus, while on the Ethereum
platform users must pay a fixed percentage of fees for every transaction, on the EOS
platform developers must be in possession of the tokens. EOS promotes free use
for participants and allows developers to leverage resources in proportion to their
shares, allowing DApp developers to create a revenue strategy that is effective and
easy to predict.
The development team of PAZ project has in-depth all these technical reviews and
decided to use GoChain as the main backbone blockchain of the Paz Project. As
mentioned earlier, GoChain is rated as superior to any existing platform in terms of
speed and transmission costs.
In conclusion, we will make the Paz System blockchain by incorporating excellent
technology into the proven GoChain platform and use it to develop PAZ remittance
system, PAZDex, a decentralized exchange, and PAZTalk, a decentralized SNS.

8. Conclusion
For some time, the ICO craze attracted large amounts of funds into the market.
One ICO alone would attract 100 million USD or 500 million USD, and people would
call this a success. However, it does not take long for one to realize that this
‘success’ is simply a collection of people’s funds.
Shouldn’t the scale of success be determined only once the proposed business is
carried through? As proposed in the beginning, most ICOs so far presuppose that
the blockchain environment will be created in every part of the world, but
blockchain systems are still only in their infant stage.
These ICOs base their models on the premise that many people will use their
cryptocurrency in an environment where cryptocurrencies are readily available for
use in shopping, money transfer, and tax payment.
Our PazCoin and PAZ System have been created to set up the PAZ Blockchain
System in all parts of the world and foster a safe, convenient, and happy
environment for foreign workers and all people in need. In order to carry through
with this plan, we have been sharing the PAZ spirit with global experts in various
fields such as international politics, IT, environmental science, and NGOs – and this
spirit is spreading very rapidly. The PAZ Blockchain System will create a
differentiated PAZ Ecosystem.
PAZT in Paz System is stable coin which is used as a kind of Utility Token. The price
is fixed like USDT and works with US Dollar. On the other hand, PazCoin, which is
listed on the cryptocurrency exchange and purchased by the public, is traded only
in a certain amount. The value of PazCoin is directly related to the growth of the
value and profit of the PAZ Foundation. The PAZ Foundation will continue to burn
the volumes in order to realize the value of PAZ users and exchange them with the
stable coin PAZT at a certain rate.
