### What is Tectum?

Tectum, symbolised by **TET**, is a distributed ledger protocol (DLT) platform designed to be the world’s fastest blockchain. It utilises a proprietary record change signature management algorithm to achieve unparalleled transaction speeds, processing over 1 million transactions per second. Tectum aims to provide an efficient, high-speed blockchain solution for the digital financial environment, addressing the limitations of traditional blockchains in scalability and efficiency.

### How does Tectum work?

Tectum operates on its own blockchain platform built on distributed ledger technology (DLT). Key components include:

- **Consensus Mechanism:** Proprietary **Proof-of-Utility (PoU)** system for enhanced speed and efficiency.  
- **Transaction Handling:** Off-chain processing for reduced costs and congestion.  
- **SoftNote Technology:** Enables instant, fee-less transactions through value-transporting smart contracts.  
- **Overlay Network:** Supports other blockchain systems like Bitcoin without congestion or high fees.

This architecture allows Tectum to process high transaction volumes efficiently while integrating with other blockchain systems.

### What are the potential use cases for Tectum?

Tectum is suited for applications such as cross-border payments, supply chain management, retail transactions, and digital currency transfers. It is applied across industries like finance, retail, and healthcare, with key partnerships including Travala, Ordiswap Labs, and Unstoppable Domains.
