Technology

How the platform works

Web3 architecture

The frontend talks directly to a blockchain node. No server databases. Anyone can run a node and verify data.

Cryptography

Ed25519 keys, Curve25519 ECDH encryption, client-side transaction signing. The SEED never leaves the browser.

Erachain sidechain

IP-lab is an Erachain sidechain with forging (Proof of Stake). ERA for staking, COMPU for fees.

Immutability

All records (publications, persons, transactions) are signed and stored on the blockchain forever. Tampering is impossible.
