RowBlock Infrastructure

The RowBlock infrastructure consists of the two main components. first the RowBlock technology (nodes, smart contracts, etc.) and second the governance model which defines the ground rules of the network. The RowBlock infrastructure is developed on top of a permissioned Binance smart chain blockchain network driven by Proof of Authority consensus. Binance Smart Chain was chosen because it has one of the strongest communities out of any blockchain network and it has been shown to be resilient and stable against many attacks while running on the mainnet. The growing number of productive applications and networks relying on the Binance Smart Chain blockchain has proven the readiness of this new technology and has become apparent to handle the requirements of a fully decentralized and global network on a high scale level. The RowBlock infrastructure relies on the Proof of Authority (POA) consensus algorithm which assures the greatest combination of security, efficiency, and decentralization, available on the Binance Smart chain. Efficiency is achieved because the amount of authority-nodes processing transactions is kept relatively low, so block confirmations happen quickly, without the long confirmation times commonly see in other blockchains
