Fintech
Elysium is a carbon-neutral, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain specifically designed for gaming, artificial intelligence (AI), and metaverse applications. Developed by Vulcan Forged, Elysium aims to provide high transaction speeds of approximately 2,500-3,000 transactions per second (TPS) and low transaction fees to enhance the user experience in Web3 environments. The platform is built using the Substrate framework and is designed to be interoperable, featuring the Elysium Bridge which allows users to move tokens between Elysium, Polygon, and Ethereum. A key feature of Elysium is its commitment to environmental sustainability. Through a partnership with Coorest, the gas fees from transactions are used to plant tokenized trees, offsetting the blockchain's carbon footprint. Transaction fees on the network are paid exclusively with the $LAVA token. The network's security is maintained through a Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism, guarded by a network of 51 authority nodes known as Cronus Nodes, which are operated by trusted entities like partners and game developers. The Elysium ecosystem utilizes a dual-token economy with $PYR and $LAVA to align the interests of investors, users, and validators. $PYR serves as a governance and staking token, while $LAVA is used for transaction fees and in-game interactions. The platform also includes protocols to improve user adoption, such as the GIFT Protocol, which allows for sponsored gas fees, and the Surge Protocol, which enables users to pay gas fees with any in-wallet token that is then converted to $LAVA on the backend. For project development and fundraising, Elysium offers a launchpad to assist and advise teams.
