FANTOM is a new DAG based Smart Contract platform that intends to solve the scalability issues of existing public distributed ledger technologies. The platform intends to distinguish itself from the traditional block ledger-based storage infrastructure by attempting to employ an improved version of existing DAG-based pro-tocols. The FANTOM platform adopts a new protocol known as the “Lachesis Protocol” to maintain consensus. This protocol is intended to be integrated into the Fantom OPERA Chain. The aim is to allow applications built on top of the FANTOM OPERA Chain to enjoy instant transactions and near zero transaction costs for all users. The mission of FANTOM is to provide compatibility between all transaction bodies around the world, and create an ecosystem which allows real-time transactions and data sharing with low cost.
Xaurum is the unit of value on the golden blockchain. Xaurum Golden Blackchain represents the increasing amount of gold and can be exchanged for through melting. Xaurum is a transparent ledger of account for the distribution of gold owned by the Xaurum Commonwealth, which is maintained by Auresco Institute physically and Guardian nodes digitally. Auresco institute and Guardian nodes are both designed to distribute and increase Xaurum's value. The Xaurum can be mined cooperatively by miners on the Goldmine. Xaurum exercises cooperative control over the money supply through cooperative mining and minting that have been decentralized. This mined bvalue can be exchanged for physical gold, storesd as the CommonWealth gold reserves.
