Provable Things
Basics
"Provable Things announced Thursday it had successfully launched pTokens – 1:1 proxies for cryptocurrencies on other blockchains – onto the Ethereum mainnet, and that they would be fully interoperable with bitcoin (BTC) through the Bancor and Kyber integrations."
- Data carrier for decentralized app
- A connection between blockchains and Web API’s
- Has been in use on blockchain mainnets as a “leading oracle service” for smart contracts and blockchain applications since 2015, processing more than a million requests to date, according to its website. However its degree of decentralization has been in question.
- From this extensive post on oracles (15-1-2019):
"Oraclize is a London-based cybersecurity company with a team of 9 people offering a centralised solution to blockchain oracles. They have the longest actively running and the world’s most widely adopted blockchain oracle service. While it is available on multiple blockchain platforms (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monax, Rootstock, Corda and private networks), the majority of their customers are working on Ethereum."

Token Details
"Provable Things founder Thomas Bertani said cross-chain interoperability was the "missing link" needed to take DeFi to the next stage of adoption. pTokens, he added, would enable "liquidity [to] flow instantly and fluidly between different blockchains." Users holding value on bitcoin can now mint pBTC tokens on the ERC777 standard
Similar integrations with the Litecoin and EOS blockchains have already been successfully tested. Support for Litecoin should come online within the next few weeks, a Provable Things spokesperson said."
