LTO Network is fully compliant with the European Union’s GDPR data protection law and MiCa regulations. The hybrid LTO framework enables private blockchains to achieve maximum scalability while retaining the security attributes of widely used public blockchains. LTO Network is secured using the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm.

Firm24 initially began the development of LTO Network under the name LegalThings One in 2014. In 2017, the decision was made to incorporate blockchain technology into the product and rebrand it as LTO Network. * CEO: Rick Schmitz serves as the CEO and is a co-founder of LTO Network. He brings a wealth of experience as an entrepreneur, having previously worked in private equity and mergers & acquisitions at Deloitte and PwC. * CFO: Martijn Migchelsen holds the position of CFO, COO, and co-founder of LTO Network. His prior experience includes work as a corporate finance consultant at PwC. * Lead Architect: Arnold Daniels is a co-founder and serves as the lead architect of LTO Network. With substantial expertise in open-source development, he heads the core development team responsible for building the LTO Network platform. Before joining LTO Network, Daniels was a lead software engineer at Cloud9. * CTO: Sven Stam fulfills the role of CTO at LTO Network. He has a master's degree in artificial intelligence and possesses over 15 years of industry experience.

The two primary features of the LTO Network are its user-friendly live contracts and the implementation of a hybrid blockchain mechanism with anchorage. Live contracts facilitate the creation of mutually beneficial agreements in real-time. Upon reaching an agreement, the LTO parent system initiates a specialized private blockchain to record the event history and the current status of the contract. Once the agreement is completed, one party submits a response on the blockchain, which the other party signs, enabling the node to verify that the action has been completed. All contractual data is accessible exclusively to the involved parties. Live contracts enable users to register actions, add or remove participants, and document discussions on the blockchain. They also provide mechanisms for conflict resolution and allow for the integration of subprocesses within the framework of an existing agreement. The blockchain functionality consists of two layers: public and private. The private layer is designed for efficient collaboration, data exchange, and process automation. Meanwhile, the public layer ensures high-level security through its distributed nodes and a reward system.

LTO tokens, adhering to Ethereum's ERC-20 standard, ensure liquidity and act as a conduit for LTO Network users. These tokens can be utilized for network participation, transaction payments, or held for speculative investment. As of November 2021, the circulating supply consists of 291,959,255 tokens. There are four categories of token holders: integrators and partners, who maintain network operations and are rewarded with project coins; clients, who utilize the chain and/or live contracts for transactions; passive stakers, private individuals who use their technical resources to validate blockchain transactions; and inactive holders, who are not active community members but invest in the token for prospective gains.

LTO is available for trading on several exchanges, including the following: - Binance - KuCoin - AscendEX - Bitrue - Uniswap (V2) - Gate.io - PancakeSwap - Bitvavo - Omgfin For more detailed information, please refer to Eulerpool.

LTO Network introduced its mainnet in January 2019. It is a hybrid blockchain platform featuring a public permissionless layer alongside a private layer, which functions as private miniature blockchains for the participating entities. Initially a fork from WAVES, LTO Network has undergone significant modification and expansion to support decentralized workflows and business process automation. The network consistently evolves, developing solutions to bridge existing gaps between the real world and the cryptocurrency space. It aspires to serve as a cross-chain base layer for distributed and collaborative dApps, such as Chainlink, OriginTrail, and The Graph. For more information, you can now find details on Eulerpool.

LTO Network has consistently prioritized integration with existing applications, necessitating flexibility. Typically, blockchains support a single cryptographic algorithm (“cipher”) for signing. LTO Network employs the ED25519 standard. Although ED25519 is a well-supported and popular standard, other algorithms are also commonly utilized. Decentralized Identities permit a variety of ciphers; however, often only a single one can be leveraged due to limitations of the underlying layer. Not so with LTO Network. Beyond the ED25519 standard, LTO Network also accommodates ECDSA with two curves: 1. secp256r1: a NIST standard widely used in many applications, including SSL certificates. 2. secp256k1: a curve frequently used by blockchains, notably Bitcoin and Ethereum, but rarely outside the sphere of cryptocurrencies. With multi-cipher support, users can now employ an Ethereum public/private key pair to sign transactions on the LTO Network or as a Decentralized Identity verification method.
