Why Another Blockchain?

Developing our own blockchain was the best way to accomplish our core goal of serving our partners and Gauss Ecosystem users. Our mission goes beyond launching tokens for partnered brands. We are maintaining a secure and thriving ecosystem. We believe this can only be achieved by creating our own layer-1 blockchain vs. launching as a layer-2 on an existing chain. Our network consists of various side chains and parachains, and will continue to grow to meet the evolving needs of our partners. The most prolific use cases for these expansive, interoperable environments will be blockchain gaming and a standalone chain for future NFTs. Cross-chain interoperability outside the Gauss Ecosystem is an important focus and is why our ecosystem is EVM-compatible. Over time, the barriers between blockchains will diminish and users will have a more seamless experience across networks. Bridges and off-chain custodians are early examples of this. But they also represent one of the largest threat vectors in Web 3.0. Gauss does not offer native bridges, but continues to work suitable partners to provide them.
