Universa Platform is a new generation of blockchain technology. It uses a contract execution machine and distributed state ledger designed to improve on Bitcoin and Ethereum technologies by delivering improvements that are imperative for business adoption, with an emphasis on tokenization and contractual agreements.

Where traditional blockchains transact primarily in currencies, Universa is designed to support token representation of everything from passports to boarding passes, bus tickets or taxi fares; they can be gift cards, vouchers, or gym membership cards. You might make a token representing your title deed, or just the keys to the house.

Universa Platform is powered by the Universa Network – a swarm of Universa Core nodes composing the Universa Blockchain, and supporting the Universa Secure Signed Document Service (codenamed “Notary Cloud”). The Blockchain is only responsible for enforcing the validity of the state of transactions, while Notary Cloud acts as a verifiable warehouse for signatures of the original contracts.

“Universa Platform iterates crypto graphic ledger technology, building on eight years of proven Bitcoin success in the distribution of money and adapting it with the tools needed to address fundamental business concerns and governmental compliances. With transaction throughput improved by several orders of magnitude, built-in support for verifying document authenticity, and a network of trusted certified nodes, Universa is able to provide necessary usability to open new avenues into enterprise adoption.”
