Technology
BelizeChain is a sovereign Layer-1 blockchain built on the Substrate framework. Purpose-built for Belize with Proof of Useful Work consensus, 19 custom runtime pallets, and ~2,000 TPS throughput.
Core Technology
Substrate (Polkadot SDK)
Built on the Substrate framework using Polkadot SDK stable2606. Forkless runtime upgrades, modular pallet architecture, and XCM cross-chain messaging. The runtime version in force is reported live on the /developers/testnet page rather than restated here, where it would go stale on the next upgrade.
Proof of Useful Work
Our PoUW consensus channels mining computation into AI training (Nawal) and quantum workloads (Kinich) — no wasted energy.
~2,000 TPS
High throughput with 6-second block times. Designed for real-world government and financial transactions at national scale.
Dual Currency
DALLA as the native utility token for staking and governance. bBZD as a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the Belize Dollar.
Rust Runtime
93–100% test coverage across all 19 custom pallets.
Interoperability
XCM messaging for Polkadot ecosystem communication. Bridge pallets for cross-chain asset transfers.
