PascalCoin
Sphere 10 Software co-developed PascalCoin , a next-generation / experimental cryptocurrency designed for global adoption on ordinary consumer devices. We solved the scalability issues affecting other cryptocurrencies.
PascalCoin is account-based blockchain that mirrors how traditional bank accounts work. The blockchain is used to build a secondary data-structure (which maintains the account states) allowing the blockchain to be deleted.
The primary innovation of PascalCoin is the ability for it’s blockchain to be deleted whilst retaining almost all of it’s cryptographic security.
Sphere 10’s contributions are many and focused on architectural improvements that solve scaling and introduce compelling new Layer-2 use-cases.
