Ador coin (English name ardor) is the token of Future Coin 2.0 system. In May 2016, the Futurecoin team released the Arduo project (that is, the Futurecoin 2.0 token), and in 2017 released the new features of the Futurecoin blockchain system. Ardor ARDR is generated from a 1:1 snapshot of the old Future Coin, with a total of 1 billion. The existing Ardor ARDR was generated from a snapshot of Future Coin in July-October 2016.
Ardor is a scalable blockchain platform. Ardor solves the blockchain bloat problem by dividing Nxt into forging chains and prunable subchains. The Ardor main chain focuses on protecting all main chains and processing transactions without business conflicts with sub-chains. The scientific architecture makes Ardor the infrastructure of the entire NXT sub-chain ecosystem. Since it is built with Nxt technology, Nxt features such as asset exchange, dividend payment, messaging, voting, shuffling and currency system will be provided on the child chain. Additionally, users will be able to conduct certain cross-link transactions between child chains on the platform. Users can issue their own sub-chains, and people can use blockchain technology without building a framework from scratch. Fast, scalable, safe and reliable are the characteristics of Arduo, which opens the door to a new world for the application of enterprise-level blockchain technology.

Project Highlights

1. Advanced architecture
The unique parent-child architecture of the Ardor platform allows companies to use child chains to build products and services while relying on the security provided by the parent chain.
2. High efficiency and energy saving
The Ardor platform uses the Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm to eliminate mining competition, so nodes can use low-energy and economical hardware.
3. Reliable and maintainable products
Based on NXT's four-year production experience, Ardor is the most popular development language for commercial applications developed in Java.
4. Fast
Each block including all sub-chains is packaged in 60s or less. Subchain transactions can be removed from the blockchain after confirmation to keep the actual blockchain lightweight and efficient.
5. Scalability
Sub-chain transaction data will be pruned so that the block size is independent of all sub-chains.
6. Security
Ardo is developed by Jelurida, a company that is part of the Future Coin core development team. Future Coin has been proven to be safe and stable.

Application Scenario

1. Provide blockchain services - Ardor will open a blockchain development platform for organizations and individuals around the world. The high barriers to entry for blockchain are about to disappear.
2. Manageable block chain size - By separating transactions and data that do not affect security, Ardor will solve the problem of scalability and move all those transactions and data that do not affect security to the subchain. The Ardor team will create the first child chain to house many of the Nxt 1.0 tools and future features. This small size also has short transaction times, so processes only take a fraction of the time to perform functions compared to Bitcoin.
3. Distributed asset exchange - By establishing an asset exchange on NXT, Ardor will be able to exchange the assets of any sub-chain tokens on any sub-chain. This allows child chains to interact with each other and opens up many opportunities for collaboration and allows cross-chain asset trading, a long-requested feature in the Nxt ecosystem.
4. Distributed voting and governance system - will become the core of decentralized consensus in the future. Secure and anonymous voting will be an available feature of all child chains on the Nxt platform.
5. Phased transaction - before executing the transaction, the user can set multiple conditions including the minimum number of votes and the set amount of time. Like Nxt, Ardor will use smart transactions. Therefore, the user only needs to submit the parameters required for the transaction and the ID of the function to be used. The transaction process is also fully decentralized. No need for a centralized server, service or application like Ethereum's oracle.
