“BitShares is the brainchild of Invictus Innovations. It will consist of a protocol and a piece of software called Hydra, which will offer three separate services: a decentralized identity management system called BitNames, a secure chat and messaging system codenamed BitCom, and a peer to peer trading exchange. Both the protocol and the software will be open source, said Charles Hoskinson, who is co-founder of the project. His co-founder Daniel Larimer is a software engineer with a background in networked C++ applications. They secured ‘mid-six figure’ funding from Chinese private equity firm BitFund.PE.”
