+\begin{abstract}%
+ BitShares 2.0 is an industrial-grade decentralized platform built for
+ high-performance financial smart contracts. The decentralized exchange that
+ allows for trading of arbitrary pairs without counterparty risk facilitates
+ only one out of many available features. Market-pegged assets, such as the
+ bitUSD, are crypto tokens that come with all the advantages of traditional
+ cryptocurrencies like bitcoin but trade for at least the value of their
+ underlying asset, e.g. \$1. Furthermore, BitShares represents the first
+ decentralized autonomous company that lets its shareholders decide on its
+ future direction and products. This paper gives a brief overview over the
+ whole BitShares platform, recapitulates known blockchain technologies and
+ redefines \emph{state-of-the-art}.
