Achain is a cutting-edge decentralized blockchain platform designed to streamline and enhance business operations through the integration of smart contracts and a unique consensus protocol. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the key features of Achain, the supported operating systems, and how to get started with building and deploying applications on the platform.

What Makes Achain Unique?

Achain stands out as a blockchain based on BTS1.0, with the following key features:

• Integration of Lua virtual machine-based smart contracts.
• Designed for both transparency and performance in enterprise-level applications.
• Utilizes Result Delegated Proof-of-Stake (RDPoS) for distributed consensus, ensuring consistency across state machine replicas.

Essentially, think of Achain as a well-organized high-tech library where each book represents a smart contract. Each time a book (contract) is borrowed (executed), the librarian (the consensus mechanism) ensures that all records are updated flawlessly and consistently, creating a transparent history of transactions.
