Introducing Essentia: The Framework for your Decentralized Digital Life

It’s been just over one month since we first introduced Essentia at Devcon3, that seems like an eternity between new forks, market growth, and media coverage. But what is the most exciting is for us to finally introduce Essentia to the public today! Here we go!


After extensive researches and starting as an underground project in Amsterdam a long time ago, Essentia is now the framework to create, store, access and operate your decentralized digital life.

From one seed. In short, Essentia is a modular decentralized framework that empowers the user with the full ownership and control over his identities, data, wallets, and assets, dApps and to operate in the decentralized web easily, anywhere and from any device.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the features of Essentia.

Logins

If you are like us then you are sick of having to re-enter passwords, save backups and change devices to access your decentralized and centralized accounts. Having one seed grants you instant access to all of your personal and business-critical logins.

Identities

This is a big one: we let you take control of your identities with custom profile settings. You decide what details to share and whether you would prefer to be anonymous, pseudo-anonymous or KYC compliant within your identities.

Multiple wallets and multi-currency

In one place? Surely not. Yup, no need to bounce between multiple wallets. We have integrated with your favorite currencies like bitcoin, Ethereum, ERC20 Tokens, IOTA, Litecoin, and Ripple. You can also monitor cold storage assets that are not present in our framework, accessible only by you, all through your seed.

Storage

We have integrated with powerful decentralized storage systems as Swarm, Ipfs, Storj, giving you access to the new backbone of digital storage. Where data is encrypted, persistent and censorship-resistant.

Exchanges

We integrate and partnered with Ether Delta and Flyp.Me to unlock your decentralized prosperity. Multi-chain minimizes downtime and secures your assets across secure, decentralized networks.

Any platform. Any device.

Essentia works on any platform. You can access it via browser, desktop app, mobile app, or command line interface

Integration

The team report that they’ve already successfully integrated into Essentia: Ethereum, bitcoin, and IOTA, as well as Status.im, EtherDelta, IPFS, Swarm, Storj, Flyp.me, Aragon and announced to integrate several others projects in the coming weeks.

World of Essentia

Wrapping up

It’s exciting times ahead for all of us which is why we are so happy to introduce Essentia! We want everyone to make use of the value of storing, accessing and operating your decentralized world from one seed, on any platform, at any time.

This is only the beginning of a new adventure, and of a series of article to deepen into Essentia and how it can be useful in users lives.

See you with the next articles and updates! All Your Data. Truly Yours. In Just One Seed.

Essentia.one has been an underground project in Amsterdam created by two early bitcoin adopter Matteo Gianpietro Zago and Mirco Mongiardino.

Token sales details will be announced soon in Essentia.one

Fortune Goes All-Out For Bitcoin As Coinbase CEO Admits ‘Bubble’

Fortune has devoted the entire front page of its first 2018 edition to bitcoin, announcing it has “all the answers” about its behavior this year.


A bitcoin ‘Platypus’

In an extensive analysis of the potential upsides and downsides for investors over the next twelve months, the publication focuses on bubble fears and includes some surprises from cryptocurrency industry figures.

“Just like the platypus is not good at being a reptile, a beaver, a duck, or an otter, but it’s great at being a platypus,” Blockchain Capital’s Spencer Bogart told the publication in discussing bitcoin’s status.

bitcoin is not good at being a currency, a commodity, or a fintech company, but it’s great at being bitcoin. It’s creating its own category and asset class.

Mainstream media outlets have turned broadly negative on the largest cryptocurrency over the past weeks as prices cool off from highs of $20,000. That cryptocurrency, in general, is in a bubble has become a go-to theme for many publications, while some have conversely taken to championing specific coins at the expense of bitcoin, notably CNBC and Russia Today with bitcoin Cash.

Armstrong Warms To Bubble Theory

Brian Armstrong, CEO of embattled US wallet and exchange Coinbase, meanwhile “confided,” as Fortune describes it, that the bubble narrative is a “probable” explanation after all.

Speaking about the overall total cryptocurrency market cap, Armstrong declared:

We probably are in a bubble. […] We haven’t really earned the value of that half trillion.

Deserving or not, that market cap is expected to continue trending upwards, with bullish investor Mike Novogratz forecasting a one-of-a-kind “global” bubble unlike any other:

The fact that this is our first global mania… will make this the single most speculative bubble of our lifetimes.

Should that perspective hold true, cryptoassets’ utility will likely prove crucial in allowing them to retain value and prevent spectacular investor losses.

That topic is especially pertinent to Ripple in the first week of 2018, as unprecedented price highs are countered with criticism that the platform’s XRP token is less than reliable due to client businesses not needing to actually use it.
