Bytom is a decentralized blockchain platform which connects physical and digital worlds building a decentralized network where these assets can be registered and exchanged. Unlike other blockchains such as Ethereum, Bytom is focusing on circulation and assets register. The company is founded in China in 2017 by a group of experts already known in the crypto space. Its founders are transparent showing their names and the names of their team members publicly. In this Bytom review, we will go through all the information you need to know about this platform.
About Bytom
Bytom aims to bring together government agencies, blockchains, businesses into one ecosystem. The platform supports digital assets registration, their transmission, linking all kinds of cryptocurrencies with its cross-chain mechanism. Thanks to this protocol, users can register and exchange digital assets, as well as some traditional assets such as bonds, warranties, securities, dividends, etc.
The problem that Bytom wants to overcome is the lack of unified mapping of digital assets from the physical to the digital world. Beyond that, they want to make a bridge between the physical and digital world in order to “promote an effective flow of assets onchain and offchain”.
Bytom Blockchain
Bytom blockchain architecture is made of three layers: application, contract, and data transmission layer.
-
- The first one, the application layer, is suitable for developers to create digital assets management applications.
-
- The second layer is convenient for asset issuing and management.
- Data transmission layer is in charge of transferring, issuing, spending, etc.
