What is a Hyperchain?
A customizable, high-performance blockchain that combines PoS with the security of a larger PoW blockchain: letting users create secure, scalable, and low-cost blockchains that are “pinned” periodically to a PoW chain for added security.
How Hyperchains Work
A Hyperchain uses Proof of Stake for fast, low-cost transactions and secures itself by periodically “pinning” data to a Proof of Work chain, combining speed with strong security.
The hyperchain is the climber, and the mountain is the pinning chain. Pins secure the hyperchain, providing safety at each step.
