Ahead of ParallelChain’s mainnet launch, GEM Digital Limited, a digital asset investment firm, has invested $50 million in the company. The investment is aimed at the ParallelChain Layer-1 protocol development project.
The blockchain industry continues to grow in strength as more funds enter the industry. The DeFi community is a part of the blockchain industry that pulls the most weight.
ParallelChain is an all-in-one decentralized blockchain that handles business and enterprise level use cases. ParallelChain consists of two scalable layer 1 platforms, the public mainnet and the private networks. ParallelChain recently launched its native token XPLL as an ERC-20 token based on Ethereum.
The soon-to-be-launched mainnet is a Layer 1 smart contract platform with a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism designed to power an accountable and democratic ecosystem. The XPLL token will also appear in the fourth quarter of 2022 with the launch of the mainnet.
ParallelChain committed to bridging the gap
ParallelChain CEO Ian Huang said that ParallelChain’s Mainnet is the solution to the industry’s demand for privacy, compliance and scalability in public blockchain applications. ParallelChain aims to close the gap between DeFi and CeFi with its open source mainnet.
ParallelChain Enterprise, the private network, would allow privacy for users when transacting through the proof-of-immunity mechanism. Both ParallelChain platforms seek to provide confidentiality and validated transactions.
GEM’s $50 million investment would enable market expansion, research and development, and decentralized project funding.
