Echo
Blockchain Ecosystem & Smart Contract Protocol
[ Blockchain ] [ Web ] [ Mobile ] [ Cryptocurrency ] [ Smart Contracts ] [ DApps ]
Echo is a blockchain application development platform and network powered by the integration of Bitcoin and smart contracts. The platform enables efficient decentralized applications for Bitcoin and Ethereum with advanced functionality, flexibility, and usability.
Bitcoin + Smart Contracts
Echo enables FinTech apps, decentralized exchange solutions, derivatives, coins, and more that can all use BTC as native currency.
Develop with Any Language
Echo supports a wide range of tools and languages: Solidity, C++, Go, Python, Rust, and more.
Self-
Decentralizing
A scalable and efficient mechanism maintains decentralization across every transaction.

Smart Contracts
Unified Development Environment via x64 VM and EVM
Echo provides a convenient environment for smart contracts development with both the x64 Virtual Machine and Ethereum Virtual Machine integrated, enabling complex data structures, algorithms and calculations using any programming language and 3rd party library required for implementation
X64 VM
EVM
The Ethereum Virtual Machine enables the development of smart contracts in Solidity, providing a unified environment and the ability to easily migrate apps to Echo.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Sidechains
The Echo blockchain is a layer-2 protocol that includes an Ethereum sidechain and a Bitcoin sidechain to enable network interoperability. This unique blockchain protocol enables other blockchain assets, including ERC20 tokens, to be represented on the Echo chain through a bi-directional peg, allowing Echo DApps (e.g., a decentralized exchange) to natively support the assets.
Transfer Process
Here are some other features that stand out and are deffinitely worthy of attention:

Transfer of Coins to Echo
Validation by Voting
Echo’s committee members must vote to validate the deposit. The deposit is approved and settled only after the required amount of votes have been casted.
Withdrawal of Coins from Echo
Assets on the Echo chain that are linked to an external chain’s coins can be transferred back to its source at any time using the withdrawal operation. This transfer involves the same process of freezing funds, voting, and approval.
PoWR Consensus
Blazing-Fast Proof of Weighted Randomness Consensus
Echo uses a new Algorand-style Proof of Weighted Randomness (PoWR) consensus mechanism. Verifiable random functions (VRFs) are leveraged to select block producers and block validators, enabling consensus to be achieved quickly without a requirement for every node to independently execute all computation, lowering the resources required for each validating node.
