Ardor (blockchain as a service) is an open platform which uses Nxt’s blockchain technology through the concept of child chains. These child chains can be customized to user needs. The main feature of Ardor however, is the enhanced security feature which comes along with the concept of child chains. The user need not be worried about security as that would be taken care of by the main chain which uses the blockchain technology of Nxt while keeping your transactions safe and secure.
The Ardor Main Chain:
By Separating the child chains the Ardor main chain is much more fast, scalable and secure. Ardor is highly scalable as the child data will be trimmed, making the size of each main chain independent of number of child chains. The main chain data will be processed within 60 seconds making it faster.
And, what more, Ardor is built by Jelurida, an internal development team of Nxt with years of experience in stability and security of blockchain. All the ARDR tokens and the child chains are secured under Ardor main chain, the transactions are limited to mitigate blockchain bolt and increase performance.
