Nxt is an advanced open source application platform which expands the things you can do with a blockchain. It is the first pure proof-of-stake blockchain, running since 2013. Nxt has an impressive array of functions built into its software, so you do not need to code them on top of a more limited blockchain platform.
Nxt runs as a public blockchain that is open to everyone. Over the years, many people from our community have contributed to the ecosystem and platform. We rely on the feedback that our community gives us and the dialogue that comes with it.
For those for whom a public blockchain is not an option, Jelurida sells licenses for private versions of the Nxt software and creates bespoke versions for enterprises. A private blockchain evaluation package is available for testing and rapid application prototyping.
And for public open source projects who need their own blockchain, now we offer a blockchain creation kit, allowing them to launch a new public blockchain based on the Nxt code.
For advanced users and developers familiar with the Nxt platform and considering a migration to Ardor, or those deciding which platform to choose, we have prepared a technical feature comparison of the major differences between our two platforms.
