The Platform for
Distributed Applications
Swirlds is a software platform designed to build fully-distributed applications that harness the power of the cloud without servers. Now you can develop applications with fairness in decision making, speed, trust and reliability, at a fraction of the cost of traditional server-based platforms.
A tech report is available, which is a white paper describing the hashgraph, the consensus algorithm, and the mathematical proofs of Byzantine fault tolerance. A second tech report goes through examples illustrating each step of the consensus algorithm.
Secure
Maintain private and secure data, without having to trust the privacy and integrity of any central server.
Reliable
Deliver applications that are always available; as reliable as the internet.
Fair
Ensure the actual order of transactions is the consensus order, and all transactions are included.
Trusted
Enforce rules, achieve fairness and ensure safety in a highly trusted system.
Fast
Speed time-to-consensus with more transactions per second.
Cost-effective
Build high-throughput, scalable applications without incurring server costs and maintenance.
Applications
The Swirlds platform enables developers to create both permissioned and permissionless distributed applications with high transaction throughput, low consensus latency, and fairness in transaction order, without the burdensome costs of Proof-of-Work. Some of the application categories include:
- Markets
- Identity
- Gaming
- Cryptocurrency
- Online Collaboration
- Public Ledger
