What is Lamden?
Lamden is a blockchain development platform designed to make it faster and easier for developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) and enterprise blockchain solutions. Its key features include:
- Modular blockchain development suite - Lamden provides a suite of tools like an enterprise blockchain compiler, a blockchain virtual machine, package manager, and more that abstract away blockchain complexities so developers can focus on application logic.
- Python support - Lamden allows developers to write smart contracts in Python instead of more complex languages like Solidity, lowering the barrier to blockchain development.
- Interoperability - Applications built on Lamden can integrate and interact with other blockchains through Lamden's interoperability protocol Saffron, allowing for seamless cross-chain data flows.
- Consensus mechanism - Lamden uses Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) as its consensus mechanism, which provides fast and energy efficient transaction validation.
- Atomic Swaps - Lamden's Flashes architecture supports instant, atomic token/asset swaps between applications built on its blockchain as well as across other integrated blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Overall, Lamden aims to accelerate mainstream blockchain and dApp adoption by making development significantly easier for enterprises and individual developers alike through its modular toolset and focus on developer experience.
