Hey, Product Hunt!
Nxt is a self-sufficient system. Nxt is a complete and self-contained system in itself. As any business owner knows, being dependent on a third party for an essential part of their business model introduces unnecessary risk. This is why Nxt chose not to piggyback on an external blockchain over which it has no control, but has built all of its features onto its own blockchain. This also means that Nxt developers can quickly and easily create new features while maintaining a coherent system, without needing to consult with an external blockchain provider.
Secondly, Nxt has a solid and secure track record. The Nxt blockchain has been in continuous operation and use for 18 months, proving to be a stable system that can scale to handle an increasing load. Additionally, new features have been added on an incremental release basis after thorough evaluation on Nxt’s testnet. Many applications have already been built on top of Nxt, using its diverse features to create decentralised companies and software and to leverage the benefits of its strong community and network.
Thirdly, Nxt is open source and free! Nxt is not under development by a central authority. This may at first appear to be a weakness, but a glance at the extremely successful operating system Linux shows that central development is not needed to create a valuable and working architecture. Nxt has seen fast and dedicated development since its inception and is continuing to evolve with the input of many talented coders. As there is no barrier to entry to the Nxt ecosystem, it is a perfect environment for blue-sky crypto developments.
Nxt is eminently suitable for both business and non-commercial use. All of Nxt’s features can be accessed separately or in combination, using a simple but comprehensive API structure.
Nxt is fast, with an average block time of around 90 seconds. It is powerful, giving users access to such diverse features as asset creation and trading, separate currencies, data transfer and storage, blockchain voting and multisignature transactions.
