Velas is a self-learning and optimizing blockchain platform for secure, interoperable, extremely scalable transactions and smart contracts. Velas uses AI-Operated DPOS (AIDPOS) consensus to secure the blockchain for high volume transactions processing without sacrificing decentralization, stability and security. Through the use of intelligent AI-operated DPOS consensus algorithm, corruptible human dependencies are removed resulting in a fault tolerance system preventing most major issues like the 51% attack and nothing-at-stake problem.
