Acheter des Aeternity

Aeternity (AE) is a decentralized platform that uses blockchain technology and on which decentralized apps (DApps) can be built. Aeternity tries to solve three of the most common problems with the use of blockchain technology, namely:

1. The scalability of the blockchain.
2. The method of voting on the blockchain.
3. The method of consensus on the blockchain.
By solving the above points, Aeternity believes to be the solution for applying smart contracts. Aeternity therefore strives to become the most suitable and used smart contract blockchain.

Aeternity strives to become the most suitable and used smart contract blockchain. To achieve this, Aeternity tries to solve three of the most common problems with the use of blockchain technology. The most important of these is the scalability of the blockchain, which Aeternity is trying to solve by means of off-chain scales. A large part of the transactions is not done on the main-chain, but on side-chains that are linked to the main-chain. In this way, the workload can be better distributed and there is not too much workload on the main-chain.

For example:
John and Mark regularly buy games together that are built on the Aeternity blockchain. One time John pays and Mark pays half back to John, the other time Mark pays and John pays half back to Mark. However, they can also choose to set up a joint side-chain and both deposit an amount here. This side-chain then keeps track of exactly how much of the total belongs to whom and this is only paid out once the side-chain is lifted. In this way it is not necessary to use the main-chain every time, but only when a side-chain is canceled.

The coin belonging to the Aeternity blockchain is called Aeon. This can be used for payment transactions within the applications that are built on the Aeternity blockchain, such as AE games, crowdfunding projects and DApps.

You need a wallet in order to store and use Aeternity. There are several options for saving and using Aeternity.

Hosted Wallet
Hosted wallets are wallets where the access keys to your Aeternity are managed by a third party such as Bitvavo. Access to your account is protected by a password, and possibly other advanced security methods. Once you are logged in, you can easily and conveniently manage your Aeternity online. Bitvavo offers standard hosted wallets for all digital assets that are offered on the platform. Click here for more information about how Bitvavo saves your digital assets as securely as possible.

Software wallet
A software wallet is a program installed on your computer or any other desired device in order to use and manage your Aeternity. By using a software wallet, you have full control over your "private keys" (and therefore your Aeternity), so you are not dependent on third parties such as Bitvavo. The software wallet simplifies the process of accessing your Aeternity. The risk is that if malicious parties have access to your device, your private keys (and therefore your Aeternity) can be stolen.

Hardware wallet
A hardware wallet is a physical device on which you can store your Aeternity offline. It is one of the safest ways to store your Aeternity, because the private keys are stored on a seperate, offline, device. Access to this device is often protected by a password. In that respect, a hardware wallet can be compared to a safe in which your Aeternity are stored.

You can use a hosted wallet, as offered by Bitvavo, to easily store, send and receive Aeternity. However, you are, just like at a bank, dependent on a third party (Bitvavo) for storing your Aeternity.

One of the advantages of Aeternity is that you can send, receive and store your own digital assets without the relying on third parties. You do this by sending your Aeternity, from your Bitvavo wallet, to your own software or hardware wallet.
