The team at Lition is developing a highly scalable next generation blockchain project that incorporates both public and private blockchains aimed at enterprises and various commercial entities. Lition enables the deletion of data stored on the blockchain and is tasked with allowing businesses to produce DLT based commercial products, and to move seamlessly from the Proof-of-Concept stage to creating legally compliant, blockchain based applications that are ready for mass-market adoption.
Lition aims to do this by making use of permissioned sidechains that can be altered as required, in addition to permissioned and permissionless nodes, with the project also incorporating a Layer 2 scaling solution to improve speed and efficiency. The team are working in conjunction with SAP, the world’s largest producer of business software, and the combination of a permissioned distributed storage engine from SAP and Lition’s permissionless consensus system provides businesses a high-throughput, low-latency private transaction solution with public validation for select records. Early on in their whitepaper, the team outline the following key features:
• A light client that can run on IoT devices.
• Low transaction costs, smart contract executions now cost $0.60 and are set to drop to $0.01.
• Fast block confirmation times of 1 to 3 seconds.
• Private Sidechains for private data.
• API interface for chain/backend communication for easy developer access.
• Data can be deleted from the blockchain
In order to be a leader in the provision of commercial blockchain services, the team plan to comply with GDPR (General Data Protection Rules) which is prevalent in the EU, and as a result, anyone will be able to store their private data with the knowledge that it can be deleted whenever necessary, while highly sensitive data can be stored on private sidechains and also remain safe from quantum-computers.
