South Korea's WIZBL Reveals Mainnet BRTE, Promises a Million Transactions per Second

SEOUL, South Korea, September 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

South Korea's blockchain platform company WIZBL revealed of its mainnet named BRTE or Blockchain Real-Time Ecosystem at a press briefing on Tuesday. The revolutionary blockchain network promises a million transactions per second, made possible by increasing each block's size to 8 megabytes and giving a specific number to each node.

Bitcoin can handle seven transactions per second on average. For Ethereum, the figure stands at 20.

The fintech company's CEO Andy You emphasised there are additional benefits as well. "The platform can reduce energy consumption because the BRTE platform compensates users for the maintenance of the ecosystem environment as opposed to mining," said the serial entrepreneur.

A mainnet refers to a blockchain network that transfers a digital currency from a sender to a recipient. In other words, it serves as a place where a financial transaction takes place on a distributed ledger.

WIZBL revealed its independently tested version in June and its testnet a month after.

In July, WIZBL received the first prize at Crypto Shark Tank, an initial coin offering review reality show during this year's Korea Blockchain Week.
