We are excited to announce support for Concordium. Concordium stands out as a unique blockchain platform with several key features that distinguish it from other blockchain networks. It’s a Proof-of-Stake blockchain, notable for being the first to have identification protocols built into its system, aiming to align with regulatory requirements. 

Key Features: Concordium

• Built-in Identification and Regulatory Compliance: Concordium is the world’s first science-based Proof-of-Stake blockchain with identification built into the protocol. This feature is designed to meet regulatory requirements, offering a compliant and secure blockchain solution.
• Layer 1 Customization and Smart Contracts: Concordium’s Layer 1 includes customizable blockchain assets (CCD), supporting secure transfers, immediate transaction settlements for multiparty transactions, and stateless smart contracts. These capabilities enable broad applications across various sectors such as IoT, supply chain finance, and Mobility-as-a-Service, and facilitate interoperability with other platforms and blockchains.
• Focus on Scalability, Security, Decentralization, and Regulation: Concordium aims to solve the ‘quadrilemma’ of balancing scalability, security, decentralization, and regulation. The goal is to harness blockchain technology for potentially trillions of compliant business transactions.

Additionally, the Concordium network has undergone a comprehensive security audit by Kudelski Security, addressing aspects like threat modeling, code review, and scenario-based assessments. The native token of Concordium is CCD, used for transaction fees, staking, rewarding node operators, and as a collateral/settlement medium. The CCD tokenomics are designed to be compliant, business-friendly, and free from the taint of illicit transactions, with a controlled minting process overseen by a governance committee.

“I’m thrilled about our support for Concordium and its unique approach as a Proof-of-Stake blockchain with built-in identification protocols. As a Layer One, Concordium’s focus on scalability, security, decentralization, and regulation, while also ensuring compliance, positions it uniquely in the market.”  – Clayton Menzel, Director of Protocol Strategy at Figment
