Education
Universities are at the forefront of some of the world’s most cutting-edge research, and are places where tardiness is heavily frowned upon. In the fields of education and research, it’s paramount for people to show up on time. From exam dates and essay submissions to project and admission deadlines...

Government
Polarization in global governments in charge of both monetary and legislative issues continues to increase, largely due to the movement of members to the far left and right over time. Gridlock—or the share of issues that could be addressed but does not, has grown over time. This kind of polarization does not lend itself....

Finance
Time is money, and businesses run most efficiently when people pay their bills on time. Analog enables the more seamless functioning of markets using event data from a decentralized, trustless network. Through smart contracts, Analog can even support financial applications to facilitate the creation...

Healthcare
Healthcare technology is advancing rapidly, and from rewarding patients for getting regular checkups to ensuring punctuality at appointments, there’s a lot of room for Analog to help medical professionals save lives.

Environment
In recent decades, the extent of civilizations’ impact on the environment has become both more prominent and better understood. With issues such as climate change, water quality and air pollution requiring global commitment to address, there has never been a greater need for a coordinating mechanism to focus our efforts.

Technology and Innovation
The pace of technological development continues to increase and as novel technologies emerge, synergies and a greater interconnectedness result. Blockchain technology has the potential to record and direct this development, helping harness the maximum potential of technological breakthroughs.

Designed for developers
Continuum Framework
Analog’s Time Continuum is a smart contract execution and development platform that allows you to create event-based smart contracts that run on the Analog Timechain. Users interact with these smart contracts by submitting transactions that execute a function defined on the smart contract.
Designed for developers
dApps
You can build a multitude of dApps that leverage event data on the Timechain. With event data everywhere, you can utilize it for a wide range of real-world purposes, making the scope of dApps that you can create on the Analog a limitless possibility.
Designed for developers
Analog Timegraph API
The Timegraph API connects the Timechain to the outside world, catering to even more demanding dApp functionalities and security requirements. Building on Analog is as easy as pie.Designed for developers
