What is Validity?
Overview
Validity operates as a smart contract platform built on Proof-of-Stake consensus. It expands cryptocurrency utility through SmartChain Core, which introduces identity-address linkage, proof-of-existence mechanisms, file checksum verification, and decentralized election systems. All advanced features are maintained within a fully distributed data layer on the blockchain itself.
How it works
The network uses Proof-of-Stake consensus to validate transactions and secure the blockchain. SmartChain Core integrates additional functionality layers that enable identity verification, file validation, and governance applications without requiring centralized intermediaries. These features operate natively within the blockchain's distributed architecture.
Token and supply
VAL is the native asset of the Validity blockchain. Total supply is fixed at 9 million tokens, with approximately 5.7 million currently in circulation. The token functions as the primary medium for network transactions and participation in consensus mechanisms.
Team and history
Validity launched on May 25, 2015. The project is developed and maintained through its open-source code repository.
