BlockDAG • HashTimer • DHT • Cross-Chain
BlockDAG (Roundchain)
Revolutionary consensus mechanism that enables parallel block production and validation. Validators work in coordinated rounds to achieve unprecedented throughput while maintaining security and decentralization.
HashTimer™
Verifiable time & deterministic ordering across the network. Embeds consensus-derived time snapshots into every transaction, block, and round hash for consistent event sequencing.
DHT & Storage
Distributed Hash Table provides content-addressable storage with global discovery capabilities. Built-in micro-cost anti-spam mechanisms ensure network availability and prevent abuse.
Cross-Chain Anchors
Seamless interoperability with other blockchains through secure proof anchoring. External chains can commit Merkle roots or zero-knowledge proofs to IPPAN for trusted time-stamping and finality guarantees.
L2 Architecture
Minimal L1 with smart contracts on L2. Supports ZK rollups, optimistic rollups, and app-chains while maintaining L1's ultra-fast performance. Enables arbitrary programmability without compromising core layer speed.
NAT Traversal
Advanced networking with UPnP, NAT-PMP, and AutoNAT technologies ensures reliable peer-to-peer connections across any network configuration without manual setup requirements.
Cryptography
State-of-the-art Ed25519 signatures with human-readable base58i addresses (starting with i...). Post-quantum ready extensions ensure long-term security.
