🚀 About The Paradigm Shifters (Team TPS)

We are The Paradigm Shifters, building a next-generation public blockchain architecture (completely separate from Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) powered by cutting-edge cryptographic technologies such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) and witness encryption.

To date, next level thinking developers have been moving into building zK solutions. These ideas have been impressively built and integrated piece by piece into decentralized technologies (identity, security, VM, payments, etc.) but never in a top to bottom chain reaction kind of way.

Through the innovative design of separating computation from verification, we significantly improve on-chain performance, data costs, user privacy, and system security.

The chain will be modular and scalable. We are designing and developing to support a wide range, size and volume of applications, including institutional & enterprise level, payment systems, AI agents, dApps, etc. As well as build the ability for existing decentralized tech to be able to migrate to our realm. Our goal is to drive the adoption and implementation of Web3 technologies across diverse untapped scenarios. We're building for the forward thinking developers and the next phase of decentralization.

Backed and built by pioneers in the blockchain space, including the NEO Foundation and a globally distributed team of well-known PhDs, cryptographers, researchers/engineers and leaders. We're in a well-funded ($50 Million) stealth position, pre-blockchain  whitepaper launch.
