First Blockchain

Papyrus is an open source public blockchain network compatible with Ethereum ecosystem, which eliminates key issues of Ethereum, providing highly scalable, reliable and cost-efficient decentralized platform for application developers.

Papyrus Network utilizes Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism coupled with 'separation of powers' governance approach to improve network performance and reliability.

Papyrus also implements token stake-based resource management, which greatly improves user friendliness and potential for mass adoption. We provide developers with the flexibility to migrate their applications from public Ethereum network or create them from scratch while keeping connectivity with Ethereum via token gate.

Safer, Faster, Stronger

Designed for application developers, mass-adoption and enterprise usage

100x Faster

Papyrus Network supports high transaction throughput with fast transaction finality. Papyrus Network process more than 1000 transactions per second. 100x more transactions per second than in current Ethereum network. Layer 2 solutions based on Plasma extend scalability orders of magnitude beyond that

Low fees

Thanks to its Proof-of-Authority consensus and absence of resrouce waste, Papyrus Network has very low transaction fees. Token stake-based resource management allow developers to plan their resource consumption in advance, allocate necessary token stake and work without further fees.

Enterprise-grade reliability

Papyrus Network is comprised of authority nodes operated by verified organizations, eligible for that according to network Constitution. Separation of power between network consumers and authority nodes ensures that nodes provide high quality service and reliability.

Why Papyrus is different

Papyrus Network is fully compatible with existing Ethereum ecosystem, including Solidity, Ethereum Virtual Machine, wallets and other tools. Yet it has something different inside that we are proud of.

Proof-of-Authority and Separation of Powers

Instead of energy intensive Proof-of-Work we use fast and efficient Proof-of-Authority consensus, where fixed amount of network Authority Nodes are operated by eligible organisations. Sustainable network governance in the best interests of its consumers is ensured by adapting Constitution and separation of powers - Token Stakeholders and Authority Nodes both have certain influence on making decisions. As a result we eliminate resource waste inherent to Proof-of-Work and ensure reasonable transaction costs.

Staking for Resource Management

Instead of gas transaction fee model we implement token staking model to allocate network processing power and storage facilities. This model enable creation of great user friedly applications, where users should not care about trasnaction fees, and increase their potential for mass adoption. It also allow application developers to protect their business models against volatility of token price.

No individual or group gains too much control, governance have established Constitution and two independent branches - Token Stakeholders and Authority Nodes; Separation of powers and system of checks and balances ensures governance in the best interests of network consumers; Constitution is designed to avoid plutocracy and forbids paying for votes; Due to transparency and separation of powers it is very hard to obtain significant power by buying votes
Up to 47 Authority Nodes are all identified eligible organizations, which are elected by other existing Authority Nodes and may be vetoed by Token Stakeholders; Authority Nodes put their reputation and business at risk; At least half of Authority Nodes should be compromised to perform successful attack

Token staking significantly improves app developers and user experience
Potentially equal to Ethereum community, but TRON have many differences and rqeuire more work for Ethereum applications migration
Ensured by having active and reserve super representatives, staking-based resource allocation, but lack of transparency on super representatives operations and their ability to buy votes increase risks of network destabilization
Community-driven, No constitution, token holders approval voting for 27 active Super Representatives, Super Representatives are encouraged to pay for votes; control of the network is very centralized and consolidated by the group of Super Representatives, which might manipulate the network as they wish, network IS NOT SECURE
Completely unreliable, 27 Super Representatives currently they have to pay their rewards to voters to keep being elected, they have no incentive to provide quality services and avoid network manipulation, network could collapse anytime when major token holders affiliated with Super Representatives will decide to exit
