Cypherium is a highly scalable and robust smart contract platform. Our hybrid design features a joint Proof-of-Work (PoW) and HotStuff (Also adopted by Facebook's Libra) consensus mechanism that can achieve thousands of transactions per second without sacrificing decentralization. Cypherium also implements a Turing-complete virtual machine for smart contracts that runs on Java, the most widely-utilized and reliable programming language in the world. This enables us to democratize the development of smart contracts and lower the barrier to blockchain adoption for existing enterprise.
