Problem
Existing Layer 1 blockchains face limitations in scalability and decentralization, hindering their ability to support high-throughput applications and maintain true community governance. Many current consensus mechanisms do not adequately incentivize all critical network functions, leading to bottlenecks and vulnerabilities.
Solution
Litheum is a Layer 1 blockchain that addresses these challenges with its Proof of Performance (PoP) consensus mechanism, designed to incentivize every critical Remote Procedure Call (RPC) within the network. This approach, termed "True Decentralization," ensures that all essential functions are economically supported, enabling the blockchain to scale safely and efficiently. By incentivizing network runners to provide computation, memory, and bandwidth, Litheum aims to overcome the scalability trilemma and provide a robust foundation for decentralized applications (dApps), DeFAI, and micro-finance.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes dApp developers, AI and DeFi projects, and enterprises seeking a scalable, secure, and decentralized blockchain platform for building and deploying innovative applications.
