The document summarizes the NEM blockchain solution. It discusses how NEM defines blockchain and can be used for applications beyond currency like voting, notarization, and smart assets. It provides an overview of key NEM features like namespaces, mosaics, proof-of-importance consensus, and the NanoWallet. Examples are given around how NEM could be used for things like certificate issuance, supply chain management, and ICOs.

“The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of
economic transactions that can be programmed to
record not just financial transactions but virtually
everything of value.”
Don & Alex Tapscott, authors Blockchain
Revolution (2016)
5. Block Creation
Consensus: Proof of Importance
(similar to Proof of Stake)

What is NEM?
The Smart Asset Blockchain
NEM is built from scratch as a powerful
and streamlined platform for application
developers of all kinds, not just as a
digital currency.

What is NEM?
The Smart Asset Blockchain
Using NEM in your application is as simple
as making RESTful JSON API calls allowing
you to configure your own "Smart Assets"
and make use of NEM’s powerful blockchain
platform as your fast, secure and scalable.

What is NEM?
The Smart Asset Blockchain
NEM is a blockchain platform, XEM is the
platform’s currency.
10. BENEFITS OF
The native currency of the NEM
public blockchain used to pay
transactions to incentivize its
network of public nodes that
process and record transactions
for businesses and users.
11. XEM has real fundamental
value as the currency of a
functioning economy.
THIS MEANS
12. Immutable Supply
It has Zero Inflation
Scalable
Featuring High TPS
Harvestable
Use POI to collect tx fees by producing blocks
Efficient
With negligible electricity and hardware costs
Fair

NEM developed a new consensus protocol:
Proof-of-Importance. It functions similarly to
proof-of-stake, but includes more variables than
one’s NEM account holdings. In layman’s
terms, it promotes spending of the currency
called XEM as it helps the NEM economy
healthy.

What is POI?
Proof-of-Importance
14. Want to Fix the
Economy?
Spend More Money. The economy operates on a simple principle:
When people spend money, the economy grows.
19. NEM is a native Namespace
Namespace is a name, it can represent the
name of the organisation. Say for example
Apple.
XEM is a mosaic, native currency of NEM
A mosaic is an asset in NEM. Mosaics are
good for cryptocurrencies, stocks, coupons,
IOU’s, fiat pegs, and any other kind of
financial asset. AppleCoin is a mosaic.
NanoWallet Services Station
20. NanoWallet Services Station
Multi-Signature & Multi-Users Accounts
Editable on-chain contracts, the most
powerful way to secure funds, enable joint
account and are the foundation of DAOs
(Decentralised Autonomous Organisation)
NEM APOSTILLE
Use the NEM Apostille service to create
blockchain based notarizations and
certificates to time stamp, follow and audit file
authenticity.
24. Human Resource can use the
NEM Blockchain to audit the
authenticity of physical
certificates.

nem
NEM was built from the ground up to be simple for
developers to use. Whether you want to build on
top of NEM with your favorite programming
language or interact with the NEM core in Java
(soon to be C++), NEM’s blockchains has a lot to
offer in POWER, SCALABILITY, and EASE OF
USE.

Bitcoin uses 144 blocks a day, 12.5 bitcoins per block. = 1800 new Bitcoins per day of inflation to subsidize miners. Miners have to pay electriicy, buy new hardware, personal and warehouse costs. It was estimated last month that overhead from mining is about $6000 per coin earned by a miner.
1800 (coins) x 6000 (costs) = 10.8 million dollars a day. One month over $300m.
NEM has 1000 nodes, with cost of running each node at less than $50 a month, or less than $50,000 a month.
Total supply = 9b
Proof-of-Importance
NEM developed a new consensus protocol: Proof-of-Importance. It functions similarly to proof-of-stake, but it includes more variables than one’s NEM account holdings. The functions borrow from the math of network clustering and page ranking. At a high level, the primary inputs are:
Net transfers: how much has been ‘spent’ in the past 30 days, with more recent transactions weighted more heavily.
Vested amount of XEM
Cluster nodes: accounts that are part of interlinked clusters of activity are weighted slightly more heavily than outliers or hubs (which just link clusters but aren’t part of them).
The importance score addresses two primary criticisms of proof-of-stake.
One risk is that people simply hoard many coins as possible and reap the rewards from block creation. This concentrates wealth while discouraging transactions. The importance score means that hoarding will result in a lower score, while spreading XEM around will increase it. Being a merchant pays better than having a hoard.
The second risk is a nothing-at-stake problem: because block creation costs no resources, whenever there is a fork, someone can freely create blocks on both forks. This will greatly (perhaps indefinitely) prolong the fork. NEM guards against this.
The process of creating blocks is called harvesting, in which the block creator earns all the fees for the associated transactions. The chances of being a harvester are based in part on the importance of the account.
