ThunderCore TT

What Is ThunderCore (TT)?

Thunder Token (TT) is the native token of ThunderCore, which is a public blockchain that offers EVM compatibility. It allows developers to deploy decentralized applications (dApps) on top of it. There is a huge variety of dApps on ThunderCore including gaming, gambling, and many others. Besides, it’s interoperable with other blockchains such as Ethereum, BSC, and Huobi Eco Chain. If you want to find out the current or the previous TT price, investigate the ThunderCore price chart (you can find one above).

ThunderCore is secured via its own unique consensus mechanism called PaLa. It’s a byzantine fault-tolerant consensus protocol. In PaLa, a proposer submits a block for validation, and if certain conditions are met, consensus nodes vote on the block. A block becomes approved after it receives at least 2-3 votes.

One of the differentiating features of PaLa is that it allows switching bad nodes in a matter of seconds without sacrificing speed or liveness. This consensus mechanism was created to tackle the problem of scalability. By utilizing PaLa, ThunderCore provides users with more than 4 thousand transactions per second, near-instantaneous transaction speed, and low gas fees.
