Locus Chain is a next-generation layer 1 public blockchain protocol designed to achieve full decentralization and scalability. Utilizing patented technologies, it aims to support a variety of applications including decentralized finance (DeFi), GameFi, metaverse projects, smart cities, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Locus Chain strives to be a reliable, secure, and high-performance blockchain platform, claiming to be the first to successfully tackle the blockchain trilemma of decentralization, scalability, and security. The LOCUS token is an Ethereum-based ERC20 token that serves as the primary currency for the Locus Chain ecosystem. It facilitates all activities within the network, allowing validators, developers, and users to engage in the network while earning rewards. Additionally, LOCUS tokens are utilized for transaction fees and governance participation. Future plans include enabling 1-to-1 atomic swaps from Ethereum to the Locus Chain mainnet through hashed time-locked contracts. The Locus Chain ecosystem is backed by top developers and notable business partners, creating significant opportunities across various sectors such as decentralized finance, real estate, and gaming. Users can access blockchain verification services seamlessly without needing to develop separate blockchain infrastructure. The platform is also positioned for future technology licensing in fields related to smart cities, IoT, and more. Key technical features of Locus Chain include the AWTC (Account-Wise Transaction Chain), which is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure that enhances transaction processing efficiency. This design allows for each account to have its dedicated transaction chain, minimizing conflicts and expediting transaction confirmations. The platform also employs a BFT consensus algorithm based on proof of stake to ensure fairness and stability during the consensus process. Moreover, Locus Chain incorporates verifiable pruning and dynamic sharding to manage data size and network performance. Verifiable pruning maintains data legitimacy while removing outdated information, and dynamic sharding optimizes network usage by adjusting the number and size of shards as needed. The development team behind Locus Chain consists of experienced professionals, including creators of Korea's first commercial game engine, who bring over 20 years of expertise in handling large-scale network traffic.
