About $CPH and Cypherium Blockchain

Cypherium is a layer 1 blockchain protocol designed to offer financial inclusivity for users while delivering operational efficiencies for its enterprise and institutional partners. Using a hybrid consensus mechanism, the Cypherium blockchain is designed to achieve commercial viability while preserving the characteristics of decentralization and DLT. Cypherium’s approach to creating financial inclusivity between civilians, banks, government, and enterprises begins with our Digital Currency Interoperability Framework. The DCIF is Cypherium’s proprietary architecture for allowing any asset, including CBDCs, stable coins, and digital assets, to be received or distributed on-chain or cross-ledger.

$CPH is a mainnet cryptocurrency that runs on the Cypherium Blockchain utilized in the same way Ethereum developed ETH to operate its network. Holders of $CPH can participate in the growth of the network in the following ways described below:

Access to Network Resources
- $CPH serves to allocate network resources to participants where the amount of $CPH you hold corresponds to your stake in the network’s resources
Pay Network Gas Fees
- $CPH holders receive a proportional amount of Cypherium Power, where each Power represents 1 share of the total network resources. This resembles Ethereum’s Gas mechanism: the more coins a user holds the more Power that the user has, which affords them access to network resources, such as the maximum limit per transaction. And the larger one’s Power value, the greater the recovery rate after Power is expended.
Pay Smart Contract Fees
- The CVM bills for both the execution and storage of its contract. In other words, there is a joint charge to record the transaction, but not for the memory that recording consumes on the CVM. However, Etherum, like Bitcoin, only rewards a single miner, while CPH evenly splits the fees collected from a transaction among the committee members. This departure keeps the fees lower than on the EVM because the committee working collectively allows the network to process a greater overall number of transactions, reducing the cost of each individual contract.

In short, $CPH is the native currency that keeps Cypherium running. It does so without the prevalent problems of bottlenecking, bidding gridlock, and overpaying fees. Please refer to our Whitepaper for the details.

Partnerships and Use Cases

Cypherium is one of the first blockchain companies to have real-world, tangible blockchain applications.

Notable partnerships

Randstad

Randstad is using a combination of Cypherium blockchain and Google Cloud to match talent to corporate needs more efficiently and free up teams to do more value-added work. Cypherium’s deployment of next-generation consensus protocols, within the Google Cloud framework, gives it robust defenses against hacking. Unlike in previous generations of digital security, the data that the Cypherium blockchain protects can’t be leaked through massive, centralized data breaches. Instead of storing data in clear text on centralized servers, Cypherium keeps data secure by incorporating the Decentralized Identifiers (DID) standard. This helps to assure Randstad that it can avoid vulnerability and liability in a sensitive industry: its users' information will remain safe no matter their employer or turnover rate.

Problems and Solutions

Many distributed ledger projects have attempted to solve the challenges Bitcoin faces. However, these solutions have yet to resolve the so-called blockchain trilemma: to preserve speed, security, and decentralization at the same time. Often, these solutions must come down to a trade-off among these three vectors.

Cypherium’s proprietary consensus algorithm, CypherBFT overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a distributed transaction system including a group of validator nodes that are known to each other in a network but are indistinguishable from the other network nodes in the network.

CypherBFT consensus is anchored by the HotStuff algorithm, and can authentically offer instant finality for its network users. With its HotStuff-based design, the CypherBFT’s runtime lasts only 20-30 milliseconds (ms). Two to three confirmations are all that is required to permanently accept a proposed block into the blockchain, and it only takes 90ms for these confirmations to transpire, making the process significantly faster than the two minutes required by EOS. Cypherium’s CypherBFT, which also utilizes HotStuff, does not need to choose between responsiveness and linearity. Cypherium’s dual blockchain structure includes the speeds of a dag, but its recall for users can happen much simpler and faster, which adds to the availability of information and makes the information more decentralized.
