Elastos

Elastos is a revolutionary digital landscape composed of both sophisticated, cutting-edge technologies and a complex network of diverse organizations and individuals. To help keep everyone informed, they have taken the time to address some of their most frequently received inquiries.

Elastos was originally conceived of by Rong Chen, an operating systems (OS) who began studies in 1985 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 1987, Rong worked with four fellow students in the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) to create software fetching data from Cray Supercomputers and render them on workstations, which eventually led to the creation of the world's first web browser, Mosaic. Rong earned a position at Microsoft Research in 1992, where he worked on creating operating systems, network protocols and programming models throughout much of the 1990s. In 2000, he began his journey to develop his own dream OS, Elastos, an operating system for the internet itself. In 2016, he successfully integrated blockchain into his Elastos project framework with the help of Elastos co-founder Feng Han, thus enabling a truly decentralized internet infrastructure where user data can be secure, owned, identifiable, and stored in a decentralized manner without third party involvement or central servers. Now in 2021, Rong's revolutionary internet infrastructure project is set to ensure equality in the digital realm on a global scale.
