About Ardor

Ardor (ARDR) is a blockchain-as-a-service platform developed by Jelurida, built to help businesses adopt blockchain technology without requiring custom development. Its key innovation is a parent-child chain architecture, where the main Ardor chain handles security and decentralization while lightweight child chains offer ready-to-use functionality for specific business applications. This design addresses common issues like blockchain bloat and scalability. Built in Java for broad developer accessibility, Ardor evolved from the established Nxt blockchain. Its first child chain, Ignis, serves as a working proof of concept for the platform.
