Project Introduction
Proton is a Layer-1 Proof-of-Stake blockchain designed for consumer applications and peer-to-peer payments. It aims to provide a secure and verified identity account, which is integrated with a financial settlement layer. This allows users to directly link their identity with fiat accounts, pull funds, buy cryptocurrency, and use it seamlessly in apps, without sending any of their private and sensitive information. Proton was developed as a joint effort by Metal and Lynx.
