Excelsior Decentralized Blockchain Network

A modern blockchain network written in pure javascript. Excelsior utilizes SHA-256 binary hashing to interlink block objects, creating a secure and instant way to transfer information across a multitude of borders. The cryptocurrency aspect of the project is still under work; the end goal is to implement this technology in an applicable field and turn Excelsior into a sucessful startup! As a cryptocurrency Excelsior utilizes elliptic curve based crytographic key pairs to securely manage data. Join us today.
