**What is High Performance Blockchain (HPB)?**

High Performance Blockchain is the first permissionless public blockchain to innovate with hardware acceleration and provably random numbers:

* acceleration delivers fast, ultra low-fee, on-chain transactions

* provably random numbers support 100% fairness


HPB (the coin) is used to pay transaction gas fees and to reward node operators.

**How is this different from other blockchains?**

 High Performance Blockchain offers the following benefits:

* Provably random numbers: Generates on-chain, per-block, provably random numbers. A physical variable (tiny changes in voltage) makes these numbers impossible to predict.

* Hardware-accelerated: Faster than peers, thanks to the BOE accelerator card supplied to node operators, with a random number generator on board.
 
* High-throughput: Processes 5000 transactions per second, so suitable for DeFi, GameFi and NFTs.

* Secure: Hackers would have to compromise both code and distributed accelerator hardware.

* Supports smart contracts: Supports the contracts, code and tools preferred by Ethereum developers.

* Supports multiple languages: Software development kits in Java, JavaScript, Unity, .NET, Ruby and Python.

* Public: A permissionless blockchain with independent global node operators.

* High-performance: Proof of Performance (PoP) Consensus sends higher rewards to nodes with more  bandwidth, votes and staked HPB.

* Sustainable: PoP is much more energy-efficient than Proof of Work. The chain has been active since 2018.

* Community-driven: Moving towards a DAO structure. You can vote for nodes and community proposals.

**Where can I get HPB?**

HPB coin is available on both centralised and decentralised exchanges.

SALT Lending is a blockchain-based lending platform that offers users cryptocurrency-backed loans. Users deposit any combination of accepted tokens — such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Doge (DOGE), DASH (DASH) or SALT (SALT) — as collateral to receive a loan in the form of a fiat currency or stablecoin.

SALT Lending has a native token, called SALT, that can be spent to reduce the interest rate on a loan and can be used as a secondary form of loan collateral. Currently, SALT is redeemable at a $7.50 value for interest reductions on loans, a policy and valuation which are subject to change.

The company was launched in 2016 and is operated by Salt Blockchain Inc., a for profit entity, Salt Lending LLC: Salt Master Fund II, LLC – NMLS 1711910.

KardiaChain is a blockchain platform that aims to be fully interoperable and "non-invasive," meaning that blockchains can connect to the network without needing to make technical modifications to their own protocols. KardiaChain uses a dual-node structure to facilitate the connection between its own ledger and other blockchains, sharding for scalability and smart contracts for developers.

The platform relies on a native token, KAI, which is used for staking, transaction fees, participating in services and deploying smart contracts.

KardiaChain was first announced in October 2018, and its mainnet went live in December 2020.
