Certifiable authenticity. Permanent storage. Innovative infrastructure. Build, secure, and scale your NFT ecosystem with the Pastel Network.

Pastel Network is a fully decentralized, interoperable layer-1 blockchain serving as the preeminent protocol standard for non-fungible tokens ("NFTs") and Web3 technology.

Pastel powers layer-1 & layer-2 blockchains, decentralized applications (”dApps”), or third-party enterprises with next-generation infrastructure including NFT copymint protection, permanent data storage, and more. Lightweight protocols delivered via Web3 open APIs like Sense and Cascade can be easily integrated across existing ecosystems. A wide range of applications can be built directly on Pastel, enabling developers to enjoy the NFT primitives, composability, plug-and-play modules, and security of the broader network.

SuperNodes form the backbone of the Pastel Network. A scalable layer of high-powered validators connected to the core blockchain, SuperNodes are responsible for validating NFT transactions, operating the Sense and Cascade protocols, and governing the broader network.

The PSL token is highly deflationary. A large percentage of transaction fees are distributed to a cryptophically unspendable address, resulting in a dramatic reduction of the overall supply of PSL over time ("Proof of Burn"). Key network operations resulting in Proof of Burn include:

• PastelID Creation
• NFT Mints and Trades
• Sense and Cascade Transactions
