Litheum is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain platform designed to support decentralized finance (DeFi), micro-finance, and AI-driven applications. It introduces a novel Proof of Performance (PoP) consensus mechanism that incentivizes every critical Remote Procedure Call (RPC), ensuring true decentralization and scalability. Litheum enables microtransactions at scale, facilitating use cases like micro-lending, automated dollar-cost averaging, and AI agents acting on behalf of users. Its architecture aims to overcome traditional blockchain limitations, offering lower transaction fees, faster speeds, and increased interoperability for decentralized applications (DApps).
