Cardano Scaling
Collection of projects revolving around the common vision of increasing growth and adoption of Cardano by solving scalability problems.
Vision
We stand for growth and adoption of Cardano. To empower individuals, bank the unbanked and be a viable decentralized alternative, scalability is not optional. In fact, we believe there is only a decentralized future if it is scalable enough.
Mission
By making operation more flexible, faster, simpler, we remove entry barriers for developers and end users, to ultimately become an enabling factor for new and scalable applications on Cardano.
We build and maintain technological foundations (Mithril, Hydra, …) to enable custom solutions providing scalability and security. Besides creating open platforms, we will engage in development of key products like payments, voting and DeFI on Cardano.
Projects
 | Hydra is the layer-two scalability solution for Cardano, which aims to increase the speed of transactions (low latency, high throughput) and minimize transaction cost. The Hydra Head protocol allows applications to process transactions off-chain in a highly configurable ledger, but still using the same transaction format and tools as with Cardano. |
 | Mithril is a cryptographic protocol and layer-two network in which stake pool operators attest to certain facts using their stake. Mithril signed snapshots of the Cardano blockchain enable fast-bootstrapping of nodes and applications running on Cardano in a trustless way. |
