Aspire

Aspire was created under the vision of  Michael Terpin and Jim Blasko. After years of working together in the Bitcoin and blockchain space, they realized a better asset solution platform was needed. Aspire was built to replace the existing platforms and their associated problems.

Aspire is unlike Counterparty (XCP), a well known asset platform that is built on top of Bitcoin. Counterparty requires users to have some Bitcoin to send digital assets. While Counterparty does allow users to create their own assets, these assets rely on the speed of Bitcoin to process payments and confirmations. By using Bitcoin as the core gas coin to power Counterparty, the fees associated to each transaction has become far too expensive to utilize Counterparty assets.

The gAsp core and it's increased speed allows for secure confirmations that are 3x faster than Counterparty or Bitcoin. The gAsp's core is built on PoW Scrypt and is designed for processing all of Aspire's transactions into one secure blockchain. When combined with dedicated mining, gAsp and Aspire's platform has zero need for PoS or mining from any outside parties. Aspire runs entirely on processing the transactions for all digital assets at a rate that will always be 3x faster than Bitcoin's 10 minute block time.
