Node Stream Pool is developed using evidence-based methods: a novel combination of formal methods, which are normally found in critical high-stake applications, and an agile approach, which helps the project remain adaptable and responsive to emerging requirements and new innovations. To support global applications, systems, and solutions, we believe security assurance is not a choice: it’s a requirement. Our protocol implementations and platform integrations are first researched, challenged, and mathematically modeled and tested before they are specified. These specifications then inform development which, in turn, is independently audited. The result is a codebase offering an unrivaled level of assurance.

Node Stream Pool makes it possible for any actors that do not know each other - and have no reason to trust one another - to interact and transact, securely. It’s a platform for building trust where none might naturally exist, opening up whole new markets and opportunities. Through Ouroboros, Node Stream Pool is provably secure against bad actors and Sybil attacks. Every transaction, interaction, and exchange is immutably and transparently recovered, and securely validated using multi-signature and a pioneering extended UTXO model.

With a committed community at its core, Node Stream Pool is an open-source project developed through open participation. To ensure the longevity and health of the network, Node Stream Pool features an incentive mechanism that rewards users - either as stake pool operators or stake delegators - for their participation. The platform is built and expanded through enhancement and improvement protocols. Node Stream Pool’s governance system gives everyone a democratic voice; ADAC holders can submit or vote on proposals to upgrade the platform or help determine the direction of development. The governance model uniquely positions Node Stream Pool for future growth and development, and allows it to introduce new capability tailored to its user’s needs. It ensures Node Stream Pool and its community can continuously fund and decide upon platform and ecosystem improvements.

Ouroboros is the first peer-reviewed, verifiably secure blockchain protocol, and Node Stream Pool is the first blockchain to implement it. Ouroboros enables the Node Stream Pool network’s decentralization, and allows it to sustainably scale to global requirements without, crucially, compromising security. The protocol is the culmination of tireless effort, building on foundational research, and is propelled by a vision for more secure and transparent global payment systems, and a means to redistribute, more fairly, power and control.
