The Helios platform is made up of a large
number of independent
blockchains connected through a DAG:
Every wallet address has its own blockchain that contains only transactions to or from that particular
wallet address. All blockchains are connected through a DAG formed by transactions. When a transaction takes place, it is only added to the blockchains of the sender and
receiver. The blockchains of all other wallet addresses are entirely unaffected. This completely
eliminates the bottleneck caused by requiring all transactions to be placed on a single blockchain
and allows transactions between different users to occur concurrently. The transaction throughput
also grows with the number of wallet addresses on the blockchain allowing it to scale indefinitely.
The Helios platform will be capable of executing Solidity based smart contracts and dApps. This will allow the creation of
efficient, fast, and secure decentralized solutions to vastly improve systems such as governance, financial technology, energy grids, supply chains,
social networking, health care, fake news, climate change etc... Furthermore, the use of Solidity as the language will enable rapid adoption
by the existing development community and seamless migration of existing dApps.

White Paper
High speed, Scalable
The parallel blockchain infrastructure results in many orders of magnitude higher transaction throughput than Bitcoin or Ethereum...
Low Transaction Fees
The high transaction throughput, and low upfront and continuing node costs will result in transaction fees that are orders of magnitude lower than Ethereum or Bitcoin...
dApp platform
The Helios platform will be capable of executing smart contracts and dApps programmed in Solidity. We are also taking measures to ensure rapid adoption and growth of the ecosystem...
We're Green
The Helios consensus mechanism doesn’t require mining. This results in 6000 to 9000 times less energy usage as compared to Bitcoin...
Secure
The Helios consensus mechanism maintains the same level of security and immutability as PoW, while providing additional features such as slashing that don't exist with PoW...
Transaction Order
Each user decides the transaction order of the transactions in their own wallets and can add blocks to their blockchain at any time they choose...
No ICO
The Helios project is entirely self funded and not having an ICO. Instead, we are giving away all tokens to bounties, airdrops, dApp incubator, exchange listings etc... (see token metrics)
Truly decentralized
All aspects of the Helios consensus mechanism are designed to eliminate the centralization of power. From not requiring delegates, to full control of individual blockchains...

Phase #1
This is the very first phase of the project and will have deliverables of all the groundwork and non-blockchain items. These are required to build a strong brand and community for Helios. A fundamental principle of any blockchain is to provide true freedom from centralized powers by having a fully decentralized and democratic community. Therefore, we recognize the importance of developing a strong community for the Helios project.
The Helios protocol prototype is also under active development throughout phase 1, but will be delivered in phase 2.
Phase #2
This phase of the project will involve ramping up blockchain development and creating all of the tools for the community to get involved in order to accelerate growth of the project. In this phase, we aim to prove that this blockchain can accomplish all of the things we say it can. We believe this phase will open the eyes of potential developers and community members and show them the true power of the Helios protocol.
