Brazilian technology even on the blockchain
The project still draws attention for containing its technological structure in blockchain created by Brazilians. This is because the issuance will be made on the Hathor blockchain, a ledger capable of processing 200 transactions per second and created to reduce technological implementation barriers for companies and end users.
“This process started more than a year ago and involved a careful evaluation of the network by the CVM, which demonstrates how Hathor’s technology is capable of supporting projects of different sizes. Few networks in the world are authorized to run a regulated financial product like Vórtx QR Tokenizadora and Hathor Network becomes a pioneer in the blockchain market”

The launch of the platform is a milestone for the Brazilian financial market, seen as one of the most advanced in the world and which will now also feature the security and accessibility that cryptographic technologies using blockchain can provide.
