About Concordium
Concordium is a public Layer 1 blockchain platform designed for security, privacy, and scalability. Concordium was among the first to mandate identity verification at the blockchain consensus level while integrating zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for selective disclosure. Launched on Mainnet in 2021, it embeds encrypted identity into every transaction at the protocol level, enabling accountability while preserving user confidentiality.
Its native cryptocurrency, CCD, powers the ecosystem, facilitating transaction fees, staking, voting, node operator rewards, and serving as collateral in Concordium's DeFi landscape.
The newly appointed CEO and Executive Management team have revealed a focused strategic direction to double down on PayFi, enabling stablecoin issuers, financial institutions, and payment providers to accelerate real-world adoption. With stablecoin settlement volumes projected to reach $300 billion per day by 2025, Concordium delivers an enterprise-ready blockchain infrastructure uniquely suited for secure, programmable money solutions, as well as compliance as required by new regulatory frameworks.
