The Syscoin platform is a complete Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain solution designed to combine industry-proven technologies to support cutting-edge applications in one network. The goal of the project is to build a protocol that transforms the blockchain experience and combines the best of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Through Bitcoin merge mining, Syscoin transforms bitcoin's proven security and decentralization into a functional and scalable solution.

Syscoin's Tier 1 features include proprietary Z-DAG technology for experiencing near-instant online transactions, ultra-low transaction fees, a masterroot and token platform, and compatibility with bitcoin's emerging Tier 2 advances. Syscoin's token platform currently features a custom notary API, alternative tokens, NFT and Fractionalized NFT.

On the Syscoin platform, the primary node network provides a scalable service layer and increases security through ChainLocks. Building on the Syscoin platform could unlock future access to network Enhanced Smart contracts (NEVM) that take full advantage of Ethereum and extend its processing power to facilitate larger, more complex programs at an ultra-low cost.
