The world's fastest,most scalable blockchain platform

Locus Chain will be the world's fastest and most scalable next generation blockchain platform,making it the most practical and cost effective integrated solution for smart governments to develop smart cities.

The state-of-the-art blockchain protocol can maintain stable transaction time even if the number of nodes and transactions increase using Account Wise Transaction Chain (AWTC); through this,Locus Chain is able to provide high transaction speed for every user in the ecosystem and the network. The blockchain protocol also provides scalability through dynamic state sharding technology,resolving issues associated with growing data size; supports Smart Contracts,which can be executed even in harshest network environments that other blockchain protocols cannot manage; and is protected by a secure cryptography system that shields the platform from cyber-attacks. Transaction costs involved in the process are divided fairly and transparently,thereby tackling the concerns of large-scale applications of blockchains.
