Security & Performance

Scalability

Brix Chain can handle more transactions per second than traditional proof-of-work chains due to its use of PoS Tendermint, providing rapid finalization. The benefit of higher throughput is the reduced cost of running smart contracts. Transactions are processed up to 20x faster, resulting in fewer queues that increase fees, thereby saving on transaction costs.

Security

Brix is supported by the Tendermint consensus engine, a Byzantine-Fault Tolerant (BFT) protocol with the following characteristics:

  • Instant Finality: Transactions are confirmed immediately upon being included in a block.

  • Scalability: Tendermint can process more transactions per minute than EVM, making it faster, cheaper, and carbon-neutral for executing smart contracts.

  • Security: BFT can tolerate up to 1/3 network node failures and includes explicit malicious behavior detection.

Governance

Brix validators hold two types of tokens:

  1. BRIX COIN: Collected from users as transaction fees.

  2. Brix Staking Token: Allocated to validators as part of the Proof of Authority (PoA) governance model of Brix Chain, representing their voting power in consensus and other on-chain decisions.
