What Is LTO Network (LTO)?

LTO Network is a hybrid blockchain platform for decentralized workflows and business process automatization. Thanks to a solution based on live contracts, companies can enter into and carry out transactions, exchange information with each other, organize supply chains, delegate data processing and more, simultaneously and without relying on trust.

LTO Network, formerly known as LegalThings One, was established in May 2014 as a subsidiary of Firm24. For several years the main goal of the project has been to implement simple legal transactions on the blockchain. Conceptually, it is based on the interaction between private and public blockchains.

LTO Network provides the following kinds of assistance: the facilitation and control of the entire transaction process, the exchange of information between parties, the creation of business supply chains and the secure transfer of data to third parties.

By removing the need to depend on the human factor in business transactions, LTO Network is expected to allow companies to focus on improving the efficiency, transparency and security of their business.

Who Are the Founders of LTO Network?

Firm24 initially began developing LTO Network as LegalThings One in 2014. In 2017, it decided to add blockchain to the product and rebrand it to LTO Network.

What Makes LTO Network (LTO) Unique?

The two key features of LTO Network are easy-to-use live contracts and the implementation of the hybrid blockchain mechanism with anchorage.

The live contracts allow parties to create mutually beneficial agreements in real-time. When the parties come to an agreement and launch a live contract, the LTO parent system creates a special private blockchain in order to record the history of events and the contract’s current state.

When the agreement is fulfilled, one of the parties sends a response to the blockchain, and the other signs it, allowing the node to confirm that the action has taken place. All contract data is available only to its parties.

Live contracts allow users to register actions, add/remove participants and record discussions on the blockchain. They also make it possible to resolve conflicts and insert sub-processes within the framework of an existing agreement.

The blockchain functionality is divided into two layers: public and private. The private layer is designed for efficient collaboration, data exchange and process automation. In turn, the public layer provides high-level security, thanks to distributed nodes and a reward system.
