Security is Everything
Many conventional blockchains prioritize simplicity and adoption over addressing the increasing security needs of corporations and institutions.
Chia, in contrast, places security at the forefront of our approach.
Ingrained Within
We firmly believe that enterprises will only embrace blockchains and digital assets that prioritize security.
Our advanced cryptography and decentralized architecture ensure strong security and resiliency against potential attacks and prevent unauthorized access and data tampering.
How We Stack
| Security Attributes | User Benefit | Public Blockchains | Private Blockchain | Chia’s Blockchain  |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Node Count | Network Resilience | Average | Average | Very High |
| Decentralization | Network Integrity | High | Low | Very High |
| Authorization Tools | Data, participant verification | High | Average | Very High |
| Auditable Language | Ease of auditing records and code | Low | Average | Very High |
| Immutability | Tamper-proofing | High | Average | Very High |
Note: Conventional blockchains include popular blockchains such as Ethereum, Hedera, Bitcoin, and others.
More Decentralized
100,000+ Nodes Across 150+ Countries Worldwide
The Chia blockchain is the most decentralized ever, operating the network, 3-4X as many as Bitcoin. Decentralization offers more security and resilience to the network and users.
Secure Programming Language
ChiaLisp, a derivative of Lisp, incorporates specialized operators for smart contracts. Emphasizing the Functional Programming (FP) paradigm over a state-based approach enhances security and simplifies development.
Completely Sandboxed
Chialisp resource utilization is completely controlled. The language needs to be run on half a million computers, so it is important that the program cannot reach out and affect anyone’s machine in an unintended way.
A Lisp program is evaluated and therefore cannot spawn any new processes or interact with the system it is running on.
Inherently Interoperable
In the Chia ecosystem, every smart coin is essentially a coin with an embedded smart contract, and thanks to Chialisp’s homoiconicity (code and data are represented the same), all smart coins can interact seamlessly with one another.
Simple Auditability
Chialisp Virtual Machine offers a straightforward and regular syntax for a Turing-complete blockchain programming language, enabling auditors to review and understand the code with ease.
Our Incredible Community
Chia’s community is at the core of Chia’s security efforts, contributing to the blockchain’s security through farming, testing, and building.
Open-Source Code
Our code is publicly accessible and is regularly reviewed by our global community for security vulnerabilities, bugs, and more. This helps identify, correct, and improve potential security issues or threats.
Made Better By You
Continuing to audit new features or enhancements, educate and inform new members, farm to increase node count, and openly share feedback is monumental to our continued success.
