Cellframe Network
Cellframe (CELL) is a quantum-safe, service-oriented layer-1 network and framework that employs dual-layer sharding for scalability and security. CELL is an ERC-20 utility token used within the Cellframe ecosystem, facilitating various roles such as staking and acting as a node in the network. [3] [4]
Company
Cellframe Network was founded in 2017 in San Francisco, California. It is a service-oriented blockchain platform designed to offer network security and infrastructure with quantum-safe encryption.
Cellframe's architecture includes dual-layer sharding and is built from scratch using plain C, with Python bindings, promoting both efficiency and accessibility. The network supports interoperable subchains known as Cellchains, enabling a wide range of services such as VPN, CDN, streaming, and edge computing. [5]
