About Ardor

Ardor is a blockchain-as-a-service platform developed by Jelurida that features a unique parent-child chain architecture. The main Ardor chain handles security and consensus, while child chains like Ignis can be customized for specific use cases—from NFTs and voting to asset exchange and data storage. This design isolates transactions to child chains, preventing blockchain bloat on the main chain. ARDR is the native token used for forging (staking) and securing the network.
