It uses a Nominated Proof-of-Stake (NPoS) consensus mechanism, ensuring deterministic finality that is crucial for regulated markets. The blockchain emphasizes compliance and confidentiality through verified identities for network participation and uses innovative cryptographic techniques for data protection. It supports smart contracts written in Ink Smart Contract language, enabling complex asset management and compliance automation.

Polymesh offers several use cases, including:

• Tokenization and fractional ownership of real-world assets such as real estate and commodities.
• Secondary market trading and increased liquidity for traditionally illiquid assets.
• Custodial and settlement services ensuring compliance.
• Issuance of equity tokens and debt instruments.
• Real estate tokenization and fund management.

What is the history of Polymesh?

Polymesh originated from Polymath, a company that initially worked on standardizing security tokens on Ethereum. Its development involved creating the ERC-1400 standard and eventually led to launching its own permissioned blockchain, Polymesh, in October 2021. The Polymesh Association, a not-for-profit entity, oversees its growth and evolution. Polymesh continues to enhance its presence in regulated markets through partnerships and technological advancements.
