THE GENESIS OF A MOBILE ECOSYSTEM
WHITE PAPER
Optimal solution for mobile ecosystem Intuitive HENA platform provides convenient functionality and scalability
HENA platform is a genuine mobile dedicated blockchain ecosystem that integrates distributed communities
Abstract
Bitcoin, first launched in 2009, has been a cornerstone of the radical development of digital exchange platform. This was
highlighted by the decentralized nature of the issuer, lack of controlling party, and complete anonymity of transactions, and
demonstrating the great potential of the "Proof-of-Work" model. With the launch of Bitcoin, the world-wide interest in block chain
technology has grown rapidly, and there have been thousands of altcoin and similar block chains were emerged since then.
Coins based on blockchain such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have demonstrated the effectiveness of decentralized distributed
network systems and proven the technology can be used in real life. The current blockchain technology already presents a variety
of changes to the existing thinking about digital transactions and interpersonal transactions on the Web. However, non-experts
have very low knowledge of the basic structure of the blockchain and the following ability of effective use of its various functions.
This is HENA platform’s entry point.
HENA platform is designed for 1) Easy to use, 2) System stability, 3) Strong security, 4) Inexpensive operation cost, 5) Superior
network/transaction speed.
Dedicated for mobile devices including smartphones, tablets and other small devices, HENA platform's system offers several
distinct advantages.
This white paper explains how HENA platform will introduce blockchain to mobile ecosystems to popularize the blockchain
industry.
HENA PLATFORM INVITES YOU TO JOIN THIS REVOLITIONARY CHANGE!

The first blockchain coin “BITCOIN”
On August 18, 2008, the domain name "bitcoin.org" was registered with a link to a paper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" to a cryptography mailing list by Satoshi Nakamoto.
Nakamoto developed Bitcoin’s software as an open source code package, and released it in January 2009.
The launch of blockchain : BITCOININTRODUCTION
Bitcoin has made a breakthrough in digital exchange platform.
This has been highlighted in the decentralized environment by eliminating the risk of issuer control and thus of trading partners, the speed of immediate trading and the complete anonymity of trading partners.
All Bitcoin transactions must be verified by a third party of a voluntarywith honest intention by solving the complex algorithms necessary tomaintain the blockchain
This is the mechanism of the Bitcoin's proof of work (POW)

ISSUES OF ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION AND THE CONCENTRATION OF MINING POWER
Excessive power required for proof of work (POW)INTRODUCTION
Unfortunately, POW implementation requires immense computing power (mining), and by extension consumption of power. As well,
the more power is devoted to POW, the more difficult the overall process becomes. This is referred to as ‘mining difficulty’. As
mining difficulty rises, so do the power requirements for maintaining Bitcoin’s blockchain. According to tracking by the organization
‘Digiconomist’, the Bitcoin network currently consumes about 73 TWh annually. For reference, Austria has an average electricity
consumption of 80 TWh per year.
At the time of the introduction of Bitcoin, everyone could use CPU or GPU to mine on a normal desktop or laptop. However, In recent years, when solving the POW algorithm, normal CPU or GPU can not be used anymore as the dissemination of dedicated hardware, ASIC, which is much more powerful and efficient than general or enterprise-class processors.
As a result, most of the hashing power and network controls are dominated by massive mining organizations like BTC.com and Bitmain, so the abbreviation is virtually eliminated. The main obstacle preventing the public from participating in mining is in fact asmall group of monopolies. According to Techradar, the three largest mining groups (BTC.com, AntPool and ViaBTCH) currently account for more than 52% of the global hashing power of bitcoin networks in 2018.
Mining requires immense electricity and expensive equipment, such as ASICs
POW is the process of solving a complicated computer algorithm
BTC’s estimated annual electricity consumption is similar to Austria’s annual
consumption

The feasibility of the market dominant cryptocurrencies
to-date has been mostly relegated to larger devices
such as PCs, laptops, and high-end tablets, leaving the
majority of mobile-devices out of the loop. Low-
powered devices have no hope of mining on such
networks, one of the issues HENA proposes solving.
8
The goal of HENA platform is to make every single users to access a decentralized blockchain ecosystem, which is freely accessible and usable on all mobile devices
9
HENA platform is a blockchain optimized for mobile users. We are aiming at a cryptocurrency system that can design a real-life
economic structure in a mobile ecosystem by acquiring coins through mobile mining and through a mobile advertising platform.
As a mobile advertising platform, HENA is a platform where advertisers, developers, media, and users benefit equally. The coin can
be obtained just by watching the advertisement on your mobile phone, playing games, the web surfing and watching the webtoons.
In addition, Hybrid mobile mining developed by HENA platform's proprietary technology enables you to acquire coins anywhere,
anytime with your smartphone. These acquired coins can be used as a payment method, and forms a virtuous cycle in which
advertising costs are used by advertisers.
HENA is available to both users and developers for all the applications they want on the mobile platform. All the functions and
activities related to the HENA ecosystem can be accessed and used in mobile devices to maximize practicality and enable
communities, including mining, P2P transactions, exchange-based transactions, online shopping and community interactions.
This infinite possibility will define HENA platform.
HENA platform will revolutionize the cryptographic and blockchain industry with just one mobile device.

SHARE OF GLOBAL ADSPEND BY MEDIUM
According to a recent study by Zenith, mobile advertising increased by 47% and 38% in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and 19% is expected to grow in 2017-2020. The mobile advertising market is a major driver of growth in advertising spending worldwide.
The financial impact of mobile advertising is enormous. Around $ 107 billions was spent on mobile Ads. Zenith expects to incur additional costs of $ 73 billion from 2017 to 2020 as advertisers move their budgets to mobile. It accounts for about 53% of allInternet advertising and represents 20% of total advertising costs this year. Mobile advertising costs are expected to reach $ 180 billion by 2020, almost double the $ 94 billion expected to be spent on desktop computer advertising.
In 2020, approximately 66% of all Internet advertising costs and 29% of all global advertising costs will be allocated to mobile.

HENA BLOCKCHAIN
Mobile device mining is a mining method unique to HENA. This is not the first attempt at its implementation, but previous attempts encountered several roadblocks that no blockchain implementation prior to HENA has yet overcome.
Some of the issues those projects encountered included:
1) Excessive data charges when sending or receiving blockchain data,
2) Device performance degradation due to excessive CPU load,
3) Overheating and power consumption issues,
4) Extremely low mining efficiency.
The HENA project has found ways to solve each of the above issues.
The following slides are dedicated to describing in detail how this can be done.
38
HENA’S HYBRID CONSENSUS METHOD
HYBRID OF POW AND POS
POW is the primary consensus method for HENA. In the early stages of the blockchain's development, there may be security issues due to a lack of total hashing power. Hence, HENA will use HPOS to re-verify the block in order to provide an extra layer of security while still accumulating a user base. Hence, HENA will re-verify the block generated by the mobile POW process on the POS node. This enhances security, and prevents malicious attacks on the blockchain. As the user base and thus hashing power of the network rises, security will continue to be strengthened. Block Generate Block Generate

MOBILE PROOF-OF-WORK (POW)
THE POW MINING PROCESS AND AUTHENTICITY
When a user attempts to begin participating in mining, the HENA App automatically checks the user's mobile device and uses the
unique identifiers of each mobile device such as mobile phone number, IMEI, Mac Address, and CPU ID to ensure no duplicates or
unauthorized mining.
For this implementation, an algorithm that frequently alters the difficulty level of POW is used, adjusting the difficulty according to the transactions recorded during block generation period. The level of difficulty is not fixed, and the structure is such that the new difficulty level is determined at each interval based on the sum of the transactions that occur during the block generation period, the average value for the 5 blocks previously generated, and the number of mobile devices connected to the HENA Pool.

AUTHENTICATION USING UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS OF MOBILE DEVICE
Based on this method of authentication, HENA Pool automatically allocates jobs and
assigns tasks that can be computed directly on the mobile device. Each mobile device
will perform this task through computation and then receive proportionate HENA
Coin as reward.

TECHNOLOGY BEHIND MOBILE MINING – BTMA & HPLS
BLOCK THUMBNAIL MINING ALGORITHM (BTMA) AND HASHING POWER LIMIT SYSTEM (HPLS)
The Block Thumbnail Mining Algorithm (BTMA) hashes the information to be mined in a thumbnail format and sends it to each mobiledevice, each of which performs the calculations necessary for mining, and to find a nonce value for the hash value. Through BTMA, the amount of data used by mobile devices can be minimized, optimizing the system for transferring and mining on mobile devices.
HENA BLOCKCHAIN
At this time, the Hashing Power Limit System (HPLS) of the HENA Pool limits the tasks assignable to each mobile device to 5% of its rated maximum
performance. This reduces the heat generation and battery consumption of the devices in question.
In the initial stage, only one mining pool provide by the HENA Foundation will be available. However, any number of pool operators will be free to
develop their own pools. In order to develop and operate one’s own mining pool, a Mining SDK will be provided by the HENA Foundation. The use of this
SDK is mandatory for the establishment of a private pool.
Since HENA's mobile device mining algorithm, HPOW, is run concurrently with HPOS, the reward ratio for mining is adjusted, with the greatest weight
placed on participation in the blockchain, not on the size of a device’s role for substantive verification.

MOBILE PROOF-OF-STAKE
PROOF OF STAKE
Proof of Stake (POS) is a cost-effective confirmation method as it does not rely on computational power. Rather than in proportion toone’s contribution towards a given block, rewards are issued based on the number of tokens a participant possesses, or their ‘stake’ inHENA. This will allow for increased decentralization since any user in possession of any number of HENA tokens will be able to takepart in the decision making process.
HENA BLOCKCHAIN
The HPOS proposed by HENA is close in function to the DPOS (Delegated
Proof of Stake) method. In this community, users are chosen by network
participants through the delegation of shares, ‘shares’ being the number
of tokens held. The resulting delegated person is called the ‘server
administrator’, and this individual can change depending on the results of
each round of voting. The server administrator has control over the
verification process to the extent of the amount of shares delegated to
them. However, HENA Coin rewards will be distributed during each block
based on participation in voting.

DIFFICULTY ADJUSTMENT ALGORITHM OF HYBRID POW AND HPOS (1/2)
WORKLOAD REDUCTION METHOD
HENA BLOCKCHAIN
The hashing power contributable by each participating mobile device is restricted in order to avoid pitfalls such as excessive datausages and mobile device resource overload. This is accomplished through a 3 step process:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Report highesthash rate
CalculateAverage
hash rate
Distribute forhashing 5%
When initially connecting to the pool,the mobile device will report its
highest hash rate
The HENA Pool will then calculate theaverage of the hash rates of the
registered mobile devices
An amount equating to 5% of thisaverage is then distributed to each
mobile device for hashing
As the number of mobile devices on the HENA blockchain grows, the total cumulative hash rate will also increase. Thus, each devices’individual contribution to confirmations and block generation will decline as a percentage of the whole.
In addition, as the performance of mobile devices continues to increase with advances in technological development, the averagemaximum reported hash rate will increase in tandem.
44
DIFFICULTY ALGORITHM OF HYBRID POW AND HPOS (2/2)
HENA’S DIFFICULTY ALGORITHM, PROVIDING EQUAL OPPORUNITY
HENA BLOCKCHAIN
No device can exceed a hash rate equal to 5% of the average maximum performance. This ensures that each individual participating in
mining has equal opportunity for influence and income, regardless of the maximum potential hash rate of a given device.
Note that the workload distributed to each device is 5% of the average maximum hash rate of each device, meaning that low-powered
devices are likely to require the use of more than 5% of their resources when participating in mining. However, this is a non-issue
because the variance in hash rates among mobile devices is much less than that of more powerful devices, including ASICs.
This workload reduction method serves another function besides equity. Extremely low-powered mobile devices may not be able to
conduct proof-of-work if given a full load. Therefore, by limiting the workload given to any one device to 5% of the average maximum,
incomplete or failed hashes will be kept to a minimum.

AUTOMATED COIN GROWTH RATE VIA AN ALGORITHM
REWARD SHARES BASED ON A COMBINATION OF HYBRID POW AND POS
HENA BLOCKCHAIN
HENA’s use of hybrid delegated proof does not employ equal of portions HPOS to HPOW, initially relying entirely on verification via
HPOS. If coin rewards were issued based on only one criterion, the coin rewards allocated for mobile mining would be minimal. Thus,
HENA makes use of an algorithm that distributes reward shares based on a combination of factors. Reward distribution is based on
HPOW, not HPOS, regardless of the actual workload assigned to each device.
HPOS normally affords more opportunity for participation in block verification to those wallets that hold a greater portion of
outstanding tokens, while providing reward based on the duration of participation. However, HENA is designed to reward more
generously those mining participants that take on a higher workload, based on the implementation of HPOW, while block verification
participation remains tied to the HPOS standard. This creates an equitable ecosystem for all users of HENA.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE HENA BLOCKCHAIN PLATFORM – NULS (1/2) HENA BLOCKCHAIN
HENA AS A NULS BASED SERVICE PROVIDER
HENA’s blockchain is based upon NULS, which prominently features modularity. This modularity allows users to customize their ownsmart contracts, arbitration systems, accounting systems, and anonymous policies, to name just a few possible use cases.
WHAT IS NULS?
NULS is a module-based blockchain that enables the running of sub-chains, and module customization. The core components of NULS are its micro kernel, and the presence of functional modules on its blockchain. The micro kernel is akin to the kernel of an operating system, such as Mac OS or Windows, and can be thought of as a bridge between the hardware and NULS’s other primary component,the functional modules. In this case, a bridge between the service bus, event bus, and the functional modules. It handles all the vital functions of the blockchain, from block generation and transaction confirmation to the hosting of smart contracts and scripts.

THE FUNCTIONAL MODULE ON THE NULS BLOCKCHAIN PLATFORM
What makes NULS unique is the modularity of its design, allowing individuals or business to operate smart contracts, cross-chainfunctions (transactions or other operations between two or more otherwise separate blockchains), and anything else they can think of or implement. These ‘functional modules’ are fully customizable, giving unprecedented flexibility to the users.
The primary purpose of NULS is the simplification and reduction of workload of the blockchain development process, with the goal of helping to boost blockchain technology adaption worldwide. Such a technology, if made publicly available, can reduce the capital, labor, and development time requirements for the development and operation of blockchains.
Versatile Blockchain – Various application Usability – Easy to Understand and Use
Transparency and Confidentiality of Data High Performance
HENA is designed with ease of use as one of the top priorities. The need to be knowledgeable on
programming, mining pool connections, and other complicated procedures is eliminated.
With customizable modules such as the multi-chain system, smart contract implementation, and Dapp, HENA is highly versatile and enjoys a wide-range of
applicable use cases.
HENA features very high performance relative to other cryptocurrencies, theoretically capable of
processing millions of transactions per second via the main and sub-chain systems on the network.
Separation of data and cross-chain monitoring system ensures the confidentiality of data in the sub-chain.
Meanwhile, adequate transparency is maintained via Data Audits.

INTRODUCTION TO THE MODULARIZATION FRAME HENA BLOCKCHAIN
MODULARIZATION OF THE BLOCKCHAIN
One of HENA’s key characteristics is the modularization of the blockchain, a la NULS. This increases flexibility and opens up countlesspossibilities for employable applications and functions within the HENA mobile ecosystem.
The separation of the kernel and the function modules divides functionality between different code-based components on the blockchain, allowing for them to be altered separately. Existing and publicly available blockchains, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, require difficult and cumbersome service upgrades and/or modifications as a whole if improvements are desired. This has resulted in infighting, hard-forks, soft-forks, and other such typically undesirable events on the aforementioned blockchains, as well as others.

2) Task management

FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THE MODULE
However, thanks to HENA’s modular design, individual modules can be separately modified, replaced, upgraded, or otherwise customized without interrupting other functions on the blockchain, or any downtime outside of functions or services specific to the module being addressed.
Under HENA’s hood, the Module Manager manages ‘Service Bus’ bidirectional communication between the micro kernel and the function module. The 'Service Bus' manages the service handle of each of the modules, and 'Event Bus' is responsible for the announcement and subscription of module events to devices on the network.

SERVICE MANAGEMENT AND MODULE LAYER HENA BLOCKCHAIN
HENA SYSTEM & SERVICE MANAGEMENT THROUGH NULS
The NULS system, upon which HENA’s modularity is based,
consists of a series of module, each of which provide a functional
service to the users. The Service Manager is used to manage
these services.
(If you are familiar with the operation of Microsoft Windows OS,
you can regard Service Manager as analogous to a Windows DLL
registration table. Once the DLL is registered in the registry, the
developer obtains the DLL service handler from the registry and
calls the service by referring to the DLL provider documentation)
HENA provides documentation for the service interface, in
addition to original sources for all modules developed according
to NULS-provided specifications. HENA is thus a NULS-based
service provider as far as extension module development is
concerned.
MODULE LAYER
Each module has the ability to define its own assigned services,
and can also be designed to make use of services provided by
other modules. The Service Manager remains the central
manager of all available services on the blockchain.

MODULE IMPLEMENTATION (1/2) HENA BLOCKCHAIN
SEPARATION OF MODULES ALLOWS FOR VARIATION
It is the separation of the modules from the kernel and the core functions of HENA’s network that allow each functional module to
have a variety of implementation methods. Each can be upgraded, modified, or replaced independent of each other and of the other
components of the blockchain.

MODULE IMPLEMENTATION (2/2) HENA BLOCKCHAIN
DEVELOPMENT OF MODULE BOOTSTRAP
Based on the Module Configuration File, a startup module is automatically loaded when each node is initialized, depending on its
unique characteristics. During operation, the node can dynamically load the module by executing the module loading method handled
by the Module Manager. The loading processor for each module is performed by means of a module bootstrap, which is an integrated
base class within the Module Manager.
All module bootstraps should be developed based on this base class and managed by the Kernel. The module bootstrap is defined as
follows:
Module InitializationMethod
Task initialization
Task termination
Module destruction
Responsible for loading the configuration, managing the cache, and creating a module message queue
In order to start a task, module services are registered with theService Manager and subscribed to events of interest in that module.This process includes processor and filter registration for each event
Cancels the subscription to module’s event and stops the module'sinternal services and all internal operations
Deletes the cache and message queues generated within this module.

EVENT DRIVEN (1/4) HENA BLOCKCHAIN
THE EVENT DRIVEN NATURE OF MODULES ON THE BLOCKCHAIN
What blockchain technology can really be thought of is the backbone driving a series of single events. For example, each time a
transaction is processed that is a single event. Each module completes logic processing based on a variety of events. HENA’s Event Bus
uses Disruptor Frame-Work to publish/subscribe to the event model. Each module can publish its own events as well as subscribe to
events posted by other modules. Depending on the situation, each event is divided into two types, Local and Network Events.
A Local Event is one in which logical events undergo asynchronous communication between different modules within the same node. These events are not distributed over the network, but instead are sent directly to the Local Event Distributor / Dispatcher, which then instructs other modules to process the required business logic. Conversely, a Network Event is used for asynchronous communication between two or more nodes. Such an event is sent to other nodes on the network. The data structure is interpreted internally by the module, and each module has no need to know the data structures of the other modules.

EVENT DRIVEN (2/4) HENA BLOCKCHAIN
FUNCTIONALITY OF THE EVENT BUS
Module developers can define their own modules via the module instructions. These instructions fully describe all events possible for
any given module. This enhances customizability to a great degree.
If other module developers wish to subscribe to the event of a specific module, they should create a Handler and also register that Handler with the Event Bus.
The Filter Chain is designed to improve flexibility and scalability. This filter can be applied to any Handler that is connected to one or more module events.
The dispatch functionality of the Event Bus is implemented using Disruptors.
Disruptors themselves are operated on single threads. To improve efficiency, disruptors are responsible for dispatchers, and do not handle any business logic. When an event is published, the operator sends each subscriber's handler to its own independent in-thread.

EVENT DRIVEN (3/4) HENA BLOCKCHAIN
LAYERED DATA STRUCTURE OF THE BLOCKCHAIN
Events can be published or subscribed to between different nodes and modules within said node. HENA’s data communication protocol
stack is built on the TCP protocol.
• Logic Layer: The Logic Layer defines the business logic of each module at the upper level.• Event layer: A four-digit byte is added to the event header prior to the business data. The event header contains the module
identification number and the event identification number. Each event has its own unique event header. The module publishesnew, or subscribes to existing events based on the event header.
• Network Layer: 10 bytes are added before the event layer data in the network message header. This strong of bytes includes themagic number, data length, odd/even parity bits, and encryption type.
It consists of the network layer, event layer, and logic layer, from bottom to top.

Multi ChainHENA BLOCKCHAIN
HENA’S QUALITY ENHANCEMENT THROUGH MULTI-CHAINS
The support for Multiple-Chains is another way in which the HENA platform will be a standout in terms of flexibility and functionality.
Based on the NULS solution, the modularity adopted by HENA supports Sub-Link registration and Access provision. In this way, the
main chain and sub-chain are able to verify generated blocks and transactions using a cross-chain consensus. This allows for multiple
tokens, including those of sub-chains, to be exchanged on either the primary chain or one or more sub chains. The primary chain
provides secure verification of these exchanges.

CROSS CHAIN CONSENSUS (1/5) HENA BLOCKCHAIN
C3D: CROSS CHAIN CONSENSUS DOMAIN
Another feature of HENA that differentiates it
from most other blockchain implementations is
its Cross Chain functionality. The cross chain
Consensus Domain consists of a main chain node
and a sub-chain node. This allows transactions
and messages to be relayed between two or
more separate chains. Multiple nodes provide
the processing for these functions.

THE WORKINGS OF THE CROSS CHAIN TRADING LEDGER
The Cross Chain Consensus Module requires the implementation of protocol converters, and is responsible for switching the formatsof transaction messages for both sub-chain and cross chain transactions.Cross chain transactions are divided into two types: Primary and sub-chain. The primary chain checks the sub-chain / alliance-chain byproofing message integrity, and the transaction then becomes a block header for the sub-chain.In the case of an asset transaction, the cross chain trading ledger stores the details of all transactions.

TRANSACTION CONFIRMATION OF CROSS-CHAIN TRANSACTIONS
Nodes A and B of the primary chain, and nodes C and D of sub-chain form the Cross Chain Node (C3N), as shown in previous slide.When the sub-chain generates a new block, nodes C and D collect the Cross Chain transaction in the new block and create a CrossChain block to broadcast to the C3N node.Nodes C and D are responsible for verifying each block’s integrity. Once nodes A and B receive a cross-link block, they are validated bynon-broadcast nodes.

PRIVATE CHAIN DATA AUDIT
Some of the most important and attractive aspects of blockchain technology is the high level of security, confidentiality of transactions, and transparency as to the operation of the network. Through the implementation of NULS, HENA is able to secure the primary chain, sub-chains, and all modules on-board. This is accomplished via data separation and trans-chain auditing. Data transparency is accomplished in terms of the knowledge that all transactions are properly confirmed, while maintaining confidentiality for business actions, or individuals’ private transactions. This is affected by the primary chain, which is capable of verifying message integrity on the private chain whenever a sub-chain places a block header into a transaction. In this way, companies or other groups operating modules on the blockchain and prove their integrity in the eyes of the public. More specifically, the private chain reports the block header to the primary chain via the cross chain consensus. The primary chain then manages a complete message outline for the sub-chain. These sub-chain produced messages are then verified. Therefore, the recording of the sub-chain block header into the chain results in a service charge paid in a specified token.
