Company Description

Problem

Developing blockchain applications often requires intricate knowledge of cryptography, peer-to-peer networking, data storage, and consensus mechanisms. Current blockchain stacks expose balanced interfaces through one-size-fits-all frameworks, which may not cater to the specific needs of specialized applications, leading to developers working around these interfaces.

Solution

Commonware offers an open-source library of Rust-based blockchain primitives designed for high throughput, easy modification, and embedded interoperability. Unlike monolithic blockchain frameworks, Commonware provides developers the flexibility to select and customize the specific primitives needed for their applications. This approach allows for the creation of specialized blockchains tailored to unique application requirements, enabling performance that can rival centralized systems.
