Firechain

Firechain is an innovative smart contract platform designed to support the next generation of decentralized applications (dApps). Operating in the blockchain and Web3 space, Firechain leverages an asynchronous, event-driven architecture to deliver high performance and scalability. The platform is built on the Firechain Async VM (AVM), a virtual machine that executes complex smart contract logic efficiently.

Firechain's unique approach includes the use of 'Heat' instead of traditional transaction fees, making it free to use for developers and users. Validators on the network form a global consensus group, processing transactions for any participant, which ensures the integrity and security of the network. Additionally, Firechain supports selective validators for independent scaling of specific projects, although these validators do not receive protocol-level rewards.

Currently in a pre-release stage, Firechain is not yet open to the public but aims to be fully open-source upon launch. The company is actively working towards its public release and is committed to sharing progress updates with the community.

Firechain primarily serves developers and businesses looking to build and deploy decentralized applications that require high speed and scalability. Its business model revolves around providing a robust, free-to-use platform that attracts a wide range of dApp developers, thereby fostering a vibrant ecosystem.
