The way of
the Tagion
Discover how Tagion functions under the hood and learn about our patented technologies that allow for the speed, scalability and low energy consumption that set Tagion apart from other solutions.
A class of its own in distributed networks
01
DART and HiBON
Our innovative database is built on a new data format that gives ownership and control for each individual record. It's built from the bottom up to prevent bottlenecks in scalability that have previously hampered the adoption of distributed networks.
02
Wavefront and Hashgraph
Our patented Wavefront communication protocol enables a fast Hashgraph consensus across our distributed database with low computation and storage overheads that allow for any scale.
03
Network formation
Tagion remains open and secure by combining meritocratic and random elements in determining which nodes participate in the Mainnet consensus. Federated Databases remain independent in their datamanagement and participation rules.
Fast. Efficient.
Decentralised. Scalable.
Tagion is a data infrastructure for all use-cases, with a customisable and interoperable stack, high transactions per second (TPS), low fees and zero-to-none environmental impact.
Combining the state-of-the-art Hashgraph consensus mechanism and our groundbreaking Wavefront to synchronise data between nodes makes the distributed DART database the most powerful and secure dual layered solution for efficient, fungible and massively scalable business and community applications.
01
Secure and scalable - DART database built on the HiBON data format
Distributed applications require scalable storage with data integrity, resilience, and backup, all of which the DART database provides. It is optimised for security, quick retrieval and verfication with unique signets for every new state. It stores data in our sleek HiBON dataformat that provides security, ownership and control (including deletion and modification) for every data point.
02
Permissionless and fair - Tagion's Hashgraph and Wavefront protocols
Everyone can contribute to the Tagion infrastructure by operating a node in the Mainnet or as part of their individual Federated Database. Tagion's Hashgraph mechanism ensures a deterministic consensus and one source of truth across all nodes. Our patented Wavefront protocol provides efficient synchronisation with no communication overheads and a fair, timebased ordering of transactions, preventing fraud and manipulation common to many blockchain protocols.
03
Towards a Common Good governed by the Community
Tagion's goal is to build an infrastructure that is accessible like a public good and governed like a commons. Node operators, core members, ambassadors, and developers, are incentivised and given a vote in the governance of the network. For individual use-cases the data management and participation rules can be customised in independent databases - federated with the Tagion Mainnet.
