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.

Sphere 10's contributions to the Pascal Coin
Sphere 10 Software was deeply involved in the Pascal Coin project and our contributions ranged covered technical, business and management aspects.
Technical
-
Development of Infinite Scaling technology using a “deletable blockchain” secured via “aggregated proof-of-work”.
-
Development RandomHash (and RandomHash2) an exclusively CPU-minable proof-of-work algorithm.
-
Development of Atomic Swap capability for true decentralized exchange support.
-
Development of E-PASA, an infinite-addressing scheme for Layer-2 applications.
-
Development of Account Seals technology which provides cryptographically secure account histories and embedded side-chains.
-
