Before diving into Galactica's unique features, here is an overview of the base technology it is built upon.

Blockchain

Galactica Network is based on the framework. It provides a secure and solid framework for developing specialized blockchains with the proof of stake consensus, the and a modular architecture.

A detailed article on why Galactica uses CosmosSDK can be found .

Smart contracts

Smart contracts on Galactica are based on the . It provides the engine for running DApps on Galactica and connecting them to features such as Zero-Knowledge KYC, Reputation and Contingent Transactions.

The EVM also provides the predominant to wallets, front-end and back-end services on Galactica.

Zero-knowledge cryptography

Zero-knowledge cryptography (ZKC) is a core enabler of Galactica's Zero-Knowledge KYC technology. It allows users to prove statements to a verifier without disclosing any more information than the statement itself.

provides a great index of resources explaining ZKC.

Galactica mainly uses SNARKs developed in the framework.

Wallet

As EVM chain, Galactica supports most EVM wallets. For Galactica specific features, such as zkKYC in self custody, we provide a Galactica Snap for Metamask.
