Analog

Seed Round in 2022
Analog is an omni-chain interoperability protocol suite built on top of the Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus algorithm that will soon be replaced by a more decentralized and fairer Proof-of-Time (PoT) protocol. The Analog tech stack consists of the Timechain (a consensus-agnostic protocol maintained by a dynamic and decentralized validator set), developer toolkits, and APIs—all designed to break down the barriers of cross-chain communication. The Watch SDK, a Web3 data infrastructure toolkit for deploying and querying data from connected chains, is among the first developer toolkits built on top of the Timechain. To enhance the overall UX when it comes to querying blockchain data, the Analog team has implemented a low-code and intuitive platform called the Watch UI that runs on top of the Watch SDK called the Watch UI. Developers can use these tools to deploy and explore quickly and query on-chain data from any connected network via a unified API. To progress towards a permissionless interoperable Web3 future, Analog intends to extend the capabilities of the Watch SDK to include cross-chain smart contract execution calls by implementing a General Message Passing (GMP) SDK. The GMP SDK will provide developers with a simple framework for building cross-chain applications that extend beyond token transfers. Besides providing interoperability functionality, Analog also offers the Timegraph SDK that makes it easy for users/applications to query any blockchain data via an intuitive and unified interface (Timegraph API). The Timegraph SDK also creates a robust Query Marketplace—also called the Analog Watch—that users can leverage to access organized Web3 data from connected chains and listed smart contracts.
