What is Ardor (ARDR)

1. Project Introduction
Ardor is a Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) multi-chain platform that introduces a parent-child chain architecture. The parent chain (mainnet) secures the network, while child chains offer customizable functionality and interoperability. As a successor to the energy-efficient Nxt blockchain, Ardor went live on January 1, 2018. The platform features over 250 APIs to support rapid development and integration of dApps and smart contracts, significantly reducing time-to-market for blockchain solutions.

Ardor enhances both security and flexibility with its unique parent-child chain structure, offering a powerful and energy-efficient enterprise-grade blockchain development toolkit.
