# Technology

#### **Validators & Substrate Framework**

Our Enhanced Proof-of-Authority (EPoA) mechanism is used to validate transactions faster and securely with minimal energy use, ensuring fast and stable network operations. Gen6's public chain transactions are confirmed in 5 seconds and able to secure 213000+ proofs each block. Private Gen6 chains can be run with \~0.15 second block time on low latency environments with the same block size, leading to an impressive scaling potential up to 1.4M proof per second.

#### **EPoA Consensus Algorithm**

Our Enhanced Proof-of-Authority (EPoA) mechanism is used to validate transactions faster and securely with minimal energy use, ensuring fast and stable network operations. While EPoA is used, the two chamber governance help authority elections in a decentralized manner.

#### **Gen6 Middleware (MW)**

Middleware connects the Gen6 blockchain with Web2 services, allowing smooth communication between traditional apps and decentralized technology, without users needing to understand blockchain details.

#### **Gen6 OpS Manager**

Gen6 Operations Manager lets you run validators and services. That is the main tool used by Blockchain Administrators.
