## Content

Lamina1 is building a Layer 1 blockchain, interoperating tools, and decentralized services optimized for the Open Metaverse – providing communities with infrastructure, not gatekeepers, to build a more immersive internet. Lamina1 uses a high-speed Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, customized to support the needs of content creators – providing provenance for creatorship and enabling attributive and behavioral characteristics of an object to be minted, customized and composed on-chain. We chose to start with Avalanche, a robust generalized blockchain that delivers the industry’s most scalable and environmentally-efficient chain for managing digital assets to date. This starting point provides Lamina1 with a flexible architecture and an extendable platform to support our goals in data storage, interoperability, integration incentives, carbon-negative operation, messaging, privacy, high-scale payments and identity. We intend to work with the Avalanche team pre-launch to contribute back patches to be incorporated upstream, but anticipate that many of our features will remain only available to Lamina1 users.
