About Elrond
Elrond aims to build a high-throughput block chain that aspires to build the next internet-scale block chain.
Recognizing that most scalability efforts by other projects are not sufficient in that the efforts are merely “kicking the can down the road”,
Elrond set out to create a block chain that is capable of 1000x throughput than most existing block chains. This improvement of transaction throughput allows Elrond to handle even the most aggressive wave of user adoption.
