Massa: The Decentralized and Scaled Blockchain

Massa is a truly decentralized blockchain controlled by thousands of people. With the breakthrough multithreaded technology, we're set for mass adoption.

Introduction

Massa is a new blockchain reaching a high transaction throughput in a decentralized network. Our research is published in this technical paper. It shows that throughput of 10'000 transactions per second is reached even in a fully decentralized network with thousands of nodes.

You can watch a short introduction video here.

We are now releasing the Massa testnet in this GitHub repository, with its explorer available at https://massa.net/testnet.

You can interact with Massa JSON-RPC public API on OpenRPC Playground which is an equivalent of SwaggerUI for OpenAPI specifications.

Testnet Incentives

As decentralization is our core value, we would like to help you start and run a Massa node. Running a node during the testnet phase also helps us find bugs and improve usability, so it will be rewarded with real Massa on mainnet launch.

The mechanics of those rewards are described in the Testnet rules.

Testnet Discussions

Please come to our Discord for testnet discussions, in the testnet channel.

For project announcements, we mainly use Telegram, and we also have a Twitter account.
