The World Economic Forum has included two companies responsible for the development of three crypto assets on the new 2020 Technology Pioneers list. Chainlink and MakerDAO are among 100 companies whose advanced technologies can have a major impact on global issues.
These Altcoins have the potential to change society
Chainlink, along with local cryptocurrency LINK, is a decentralized divination network that allows traditional businesses to integrate real world data into smart contracts in the blockchain. As an open platform for equal access to high-quality financial services such as loans, Makerdao uses a dual-money system with DAI stablecoin and MKR token.
Susan Nesbitt, head of the Global Innovators Community of the World Economic Forum, said the list is targeting companies that can help "rebuild society" and prepare for a better future.
This year's Technology Pioneers class is developing society and improving its industries around the world. These are companies that think differently and stand out as potential players. We look forward to their role in shaping the future of their industry.
According to CoinMarketCap, LINK became one of the best performing cryptocurrencies of the year, rising from its $ 1.79 level on January 1 to its current price of $ 4.02.
Meanwhile, MKR fell to $ 433.65 while it was trading at $ 538.98 at the beginning of the year. DAI continued to maintain a 1: 1 ratio against the US dollar.
