Mintlayer’s protocol eliminates Ethereum’s flaws and enhances its features on the Bitcoin infrastructure
Delivering scalability
Transaction batching shrinks TX size up to 70%, reducing fees and network pollution, while the second-layer Lightning Network increases transaction throughput.
Enhancing decentralization
Less barriers to run a node helps achieve true decentralization. Further, the built-in DEX allows direct P2P transfers without the risk of censorship or interference.
Providing security
Dynamic Slot Allotment (DSA) consensus refines PoS and eliminates its flaws by enhancing the network security with the help of Bitcoin's blockchain.
Increasing interoperability
Multi-token usability across the network. Cross-blockchain transfers, several token transaction grouping or even peg-in/out are all possible and hassle-free on Mintlayer.
Enabling privacy
UTXO structure and batching procedures help mask individual balance and transfer data. Create tokens with optional “Confidential Transaction” mode, for amplified anonymity.
Reducing frictions
Mintlayer allows financial markets to operate without blockchain’s current limits by enabling cheaper, faster transactions, with free of native gas tokens.
Tokenized to enable growth and open-source development
Staking
ML token holders can participate in the blocksigner auction to stake tokens and become a weekly blocksigner. Run a node and collect transaction fees from the blocks you sign, by validating financial activity.
Governance
Token holders participate in the decision-making to decide the future development of the protocol. Upon mainnet, ML token holders will ultimately decide the fate and direction of the network.
Ecosystem tools
Users are incentivized to use ML tokens as they can be used to cover fees for exclusive services and products within the protocol
Open-source development meets community-governed finance
Free access to financial markets is essential to societal progress. Hence, Mintlayer acts as a ground for others to build open capital systems on, developing the future of blockchain-based finance.
