USERS GUIDE


What is in for me with Ardor?

  • a decentralized platform for my assets like money, company shares etc.
  • almost all trusted third parties removed
  • many useful financial, economical and social features

What do I need to do?


How does it work?

Ardor Software

  • client-server application
  • JavaFX UI on supported platforms
  • also access via a Web browser like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome
  • accounts are accessible from everywhere in the world
  • very strong and long passphrases required

Ardor

  • peer-to-peer protocol
  • parent child chain architecture
  • proof of stake consensus
  • efficient blockchain technology (can run on low-power devices)
  • allows payment transactions, exchange trading, name registrations, voting and much more
  • no need to trust third parties anymore

Forging (aka block generation)

  • reward for securing the network
  • start via the browser interface
  • requires only:
    • decent amount of the forging chain currency ARDR
    • running Ardor (browser or tab can be closed)
    • very little CPU power

How can I contribute?
