This is a completely custom built blockchain centered around the proof of trust consensus protocol, a protocol that aims to keep low entry requirements for new nodes whilst retaining a better evironmental footprint than proof of work.
It's important to note that this project is a prototype, and as such, is not meant for production use. This means that it cannot currently be used for storing or transferring value, and is purely meant for testing.
