What is an appchain & how does it work?

In an appchain, each app runs on its separate blockchain, linked to the main chain. This allows for greater scalability and flexibility, as each app can be customized and optimized for its specific use case. Appchains are also an alternative solution for scalability to modular blockchains or layer-2 protocols.

What is an application-specific blockchain (appchain)?

What is an appchain? An application-specific blockchain, or appchain, is a blockchain that is exclusively designed to operate one specific application instead of multiple apps like a public blockchain is designed to do.

What are appchain tokens & how do they work?

Tokens within an app could be used as an in-app currency, as a token of in-app ownership, or even as a voting system. Appchains utilize validators from the main blockchain who choose to validate for the specific appchain. Appchains have their own tokens and validators stake using the appchain’s token.
