Concordium is a public, proof-of-stake blockchain that uniquely offers built-in user identity verification to meet regulatory standards while ensuring privacy. Launched in 2021, Concordium aims to bridge the gap between decentralised finance (DeFi) and compliance by integrating a unique ID layer that differentiates it from other blockchains. This ID layer allows for identification disclosure, but only when required by legal mandates, offering a balance of privacy and regulatory adherence. Concordium’s protocol provides scalability, low transaction fees, and robust security, all while supporting smart contracts and decentralised applications (dApps). With a focus on fostering trust in the blockchain space, Concordium appeals primarily to enterprises and developers requiring compliance without compromising efficiency and security.
