🔎 What is Trinity [TNC] - offchain scaling scheme for Neo.

📎 In a nutshell

All information in this article has been taken from the website and whitepaper.

Trinity is an offchain scaling scheme for Neo. Trinity acts as a lightning network for NEO in order to achieve real-time payments, low transaction fees, scalability, and privacy protection for NEO assets. Using state channel technology, Trinity will significantly increase blockchain throughput for NEP-5 token transfers.

🏁 Trinity goal

Trinity aims to provide safe, fast and convenient blockchain services to its users through its fast and safe off-chain payment channels.

📶 Use cases:

1. Unified asset for network settlement

TNC can be but is not required to be used as a mortgaged asset during channel establishment, so as to provide a unified settlement method. As such, the TNC could be the most direct and convenient way to those small and medium sized nodes or users unwilling or unable to synchronize resources on the entire chain. This unified settlement mechanism helps reduce unnecessary exchange costs for on-chain and off-chain transactions.

2. Trinity network contribution reward

Trinity provides channel routing to improve transaction convenience throughout the entire network. The channel routing enables effective state interactions and value transfers between users/nodes through the channel, which makes the Trinity network more flexible and convenient. The TNC can reward the channel routing providers in an effective manner, which encourages more nodes/users to participate in the network channel and enables more efficient asset flows.

3. Trinity network value-added services

As a privacy-conscious network, Trinity adopts multiple technologies like zeroknowledge proof and CoinJoin to protect data security and enhance privacy protection for users. Moreover, the Trinity network can provide further privacy protections which can be acquired through TNC payment. Other services provided by Trinity include QoS, connection-oriented channel routing, thin client gateway services, proxy services on state channel testing and monitoring among other value-added services. Dapp developers are able to customize value-added services onTrinity’s channel service layer. These services will be available for all Trinity users by paying TNC to developers.

4. Network Service Fees

The Trinity network is devoted to providing digital asset services for small and medium sized businesses. Small and medium sized businesses using the Trinity network to distribute or manage digital assets can use TNC to pay for the needed services.

5. Enterprise customization service fee

Businesses requiring customized services like independent state channel modes and highly customized wallets shall pay for those customized services in TNC.

Trinity worth investing?

Offchain scaling solutions are interesting projects. Looking at Raiden Network which did great after their ICO and beta launch en comparing Ethereum market cap with the one of NEO. I do believe Trinity is a longterm investment currently trading at around 10 cents on Kucoin. Keep a close eye on this one. It might go to 50 cents easily.
