Pantos Price (PAN)

Pantos is an open-source research project founded by the team behind Bitpanda and is being developed in collaboration with researchers at the Christian Doppler Laboratory Blockchain Technologies for the Internet of Things (CDL-BOT).

CDL-BOT is an application-oriented research laboratory where expert scientists cooperate with innovative companies. The laboratory is funded by the Austrian government via the Christian Doppler Forschungsgesellschaft and the commercial partners, the Pantos GmbH and the IOTA Foundation. It is divided into two different modules. The first department is called “Cross-Blockchain Transactions” and is based at the Hamburg University of Technology (TU Hamburg). The second module, “Lightweight Blockchain Protocols”, is located at the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien).

The Pantos project aims to establish an open standard for truly decentralised cross-blockchain token transfers and blockchain interoperability. Over the course of the last few years, several working Proof of Concept solutions have been released, displaying derived research results and highlighting the importance of blockchain agnostic solutions.

While today's interoperability solutions are often designed in a (semi) centralised manner, Pantos aims to enable the transfer of tokens to other blockchains without the need for an intermediary blockchain, thus always preserving the security and integrity of the involved blockchains.
