Technical Overview

META 1 uses smart contracts for transaction validation and in the creation of the "Appreciating Stable Coin Secured by Gold". META 1 Coin's team of Blockchain engineers has developed Smart Contracts which work quickly and efficiently. Blockchain architectures are not all the same and with the original Blockchain such as Bitcoin technology, there are limitations that do not exist with the META Blockchain. For instance, the time to verify a transaction can be very high for a long Blockchain. This time can increase further if thousands of transactions happen in one second. It is important to note that a large number of devices with Blockchain (nodes) validate the transaction, but it also consumes significant time. Blockchain of Bitcoin needs validation from 51% of nodes to verify the transaction. This approach for transaction verification is also referred to as Proof of Work (POW). Meta 1 uses Delegated proof of stake which mitigates the potential negative impacts of centralization through the use of witnesses (formally called delegates). A minimum of 8 Witnesses sign the blocks and are voted on by those using the network with every transaction that is made. By using a decentralized voting process, DPOS is by design more democratic than comparable systems. Rather than eliminating the need for trust, DPOS has safeguards in place that ensure that those trusted with signing blocks on behalf of the network are doing so correctly and without bias. Additionally, each block signed must have verification that the block before it, was signed by a trusted node. DPOS eliminates the need to wait until a certain number of untrusted nodes have verified a transaction before it can be confirmed.

This reduced need for confirmation produces an increase in the speed of transaction time. By intentionally placing trust with the most trustworthy of potential block signers, as decided by the network, no artificial encumbrance needs to be imposed to slow down the block signing process. DPOS allows for many more transactions to be included in a block than either Proof Of Work or Proof Of Stake systems. DPOS technology enables cryptocurrency technology to transact at a level where it can compete with centralized clearinghouses like Visa and Mastercard. Such clearinghouses administer the most popular forms of electronic payment systems in the world.

In a delegated Proof Of Stake system, centralization still occurs, but it is controlled. Unlike other methods of securing cryptocurrency networks, every client in a DPOS system can decide who is trusted rather than concentrating trust in the hands of those with the most resources. DPOS allows the network to reap some of the significant advantages of centralization, while still maintaining some calculated measure of decentralization. This system is enforced by a fair election process where anyone could potentially become a delegated representative of the majority of users. Transaction confirmation time will be carefully addressed in the “Graphene-based” blockchain network of META 1, and the Trust will use DPOS for better performance. META 1 has decreased the election process of DPOS making it the fastest and most advanced blockchain available.

META 1 Coin's META Block can execute millions of transactions per second and can scale to unlimited transactions per second as the network is expanded. Additionally, the META Block is the most advanced financial blockchain by having, NFT's, Lines Of Credit, Escrow Services, liquidity pooling, and the World's first Appreciating Stable Coin secured by Gold.
