Polymesh is a permissioned blockchain crafted for regulated assets, offering an institutional-grade solution. It modernises outdated processes and paves the way for novel financial instruments. This is achieved by addressing the inherent challenges of public infrastructure in areas such as governance, identity, compliance, confidentiality, and settlement. POLYX, its native token, plays a key role in network security through staking, covers transaction fees, and facilitates governance activities.
The platform incorporates essential financial tools, ensuring users can efficiently manage blockchain operations with minimal and predictable costs. Polymesh also empowers developers to build decentralised applications (dApps) on its platform. It's specially designed to address pivotal issues like enforcing rules, verifying identities, adhering to regulatory standards, protecting data privacy, and ensuring the conclusiveness of transactions.
As outlined in its whitepaper, Polymesh addresses specific limitations present in Ethereum and other general-purpose blockchains. These limitations are seen as potential barriers to the wider adoption of security tokens by various industries and institutions.
