Litheum

Litheum is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that targets the long-standing scaling bottleneck of blockchains, aiming to make microtransactions and large-scale AI-agent activity feasible. Its core is a consensus mechanism called Proof of Performance (PoP), which incentivizes every critical remote procedure call (RPC) so that network security, throughput and participation are bound together, what the project terms end-to-end decentralization. PoP's design lets block size adjust dynamically with supply and demand, in principle letting the network gain more performance as it becomes more secure.

At the application layer, Litheum emphasizes transaction costs low enough to be negligible, so developers can focus on user experience and onboarding rather than gas-fee optimization. Its technology stack includes T-Zero for real-time high-frequency scenarios, Litheum depot for decentralized storage, and the Rama Setu bridge for cross-chain communication and value transfer; network Runner nodes are split into block, transaction-aggregation and data-service roles, each carrying a distinct function. The chain is oriented toward high-throughput use cases such as DeFi, micro-finance, GameFi and AI-driven services.
