Geode Chain is an independent layer one chain plus a native suite of decentralized apps designed to make the entire decentralized world accessible to everyday people. Geode, built using the Substrate/Polkadot SDK, runs on a Nominated Proof of Stake consensus mechanism called BABE and separate finality called GRANDPA. Geode offers 1000 transactions per second on the layer one, multiplying that capability as layer 2 chains are added. Fees are low and finality is 6 seconds. The Geode Chain project began in February of 2022. See GeodeChain.com for details. Geode's native decentralized app suite includes: - Social (ads pay YOU, no algorithm, pure feeds) - Private Messaging (encrypted, disappearing) - Market (P2P buy/sell, Zeno's affiliate program, products/services) - Life and Work (resumes, IP registration) - Surveys - Domain Name Service (DNS) - Cross Chain dApp Search (find and research apps on other chains, save your favorites to access anytime) - AI User Agents (make accounts, navigate the portal, reach out across chains) - Gaming (decentralized AI-driven games on chain)
