DEXON is a distributed ledger technology based on a blocklattice architecture and DEXON Consensus Algorithm (DCA).
By providing an infinitely scalable, permissionless, low-latency, and Byzantine fault tolerant decentralized platform for DApps development, DEXON aims to solve existing bottlenecks that hinder the mass adoption of blockchain technology.
The DEXON inter-chain bridging protocol can support any kind of DLT to be bridged onto the DEXON Network – making it inter-operable between different blockchain systems.
DEXON achieves infinite scalability through its blocklattice architecture. The transaction processing throughput scales linearly with the number of nodes participating in the DEXON consensus. Furthermore, when a node has reached its maximum throughput, it can scale out to infinite number of shards to balance the transaction processing loads, achieving theoretically infinite scalable transaction processing throughput.
Traditional blockchains grow blocks linearly, block by block, so they are difficult to scale. By contrast, in the DEXON Network, randomly selected node grows its own blockchain in parallel and in a non-blocking fashion. No node has to wait for any other node’s information as it extends its own blockchain.
