What is Consensus?
Consensus is an enterprise-focused blockchain platform optimized for building and running decentralized applications and marketplaces. It combines the security and transparency of blockchain technology with the configurability required by many enterprises.
Key features of Consensus include:
- Proof of Stake consensus - Allows transaction validation through stakeholder voting based on token ownership instead of energy-intensive mining.
- On-chain governance - Community participants can directly participate in upgrading the software, settings, etc. through on-chain voting.
- Configurable blockchains - Blockchain parameters like block size, block time, fees, etc. can be configured to optimize for specific use cases.
- Modular architecture - Components can be swapped in and out to build custom blockchain solutions.
- Support for NFTs, tokens, dApps - Out-of-the-box support for core blockchain capabilities like digital assets and decentralized apps.
The Consensus platform aims to make it easier for mainstream businesses to adopt blockchain tech for things like supply chain tracking, digital asset marketplaces, decentralized finance apps, and more.
