After Bitcoin, the ethereum network was able to attract a lot of attention with a new feature, the possibility of using its network for smart contracts. But ethereum works with the PoW algorithm, which has its own drawbacks. Ardor blockchain is multi-chain, in addition to using the proof of stake algorithm, it also supports smart contract.
The general infrastructure of this network is ignis, and users of the ardor network can build various chains based on ignis.
Another good feature of this network is that the agreement in Ardor is only used as a chain and in the PoS consensus. As a result, it provides security for all small chains, which are only used as trading value units.
