ARTIS is the decentralized backbone for tomorrow’s #ZeroCarbonSociety.

ARTIS is an open, permissionless smart contract platform built for the circular economy. It is the most energy efficient Ethereum compliant blockchain with the added benefit of scalability, low fees, real-time transactions and easy deployment.

Get started with ARTIS

The difference at a glance

ARTIS is 500x more energy efficient than Visa or MasterCard,
1,000x times cheaper than Ethereum or Bitcoin and can handle
up to 1,000 transactions per second with real-time
transaction processing.

ARTIS’s
unbeatable advantages

ARTIS manages and secure assets, data and
identities in a 100% tamper proof, decentralized
blockchain systems. Fully compliant with Ethereum.

Low energy consumption

Roadmap

On a relentless pursuit towards a
sustainable, climate conscious society.

Start ARTIS development

Q1 / 2017

The development of ARTIS was started with the objective to underpin use cases for a sustainable, carbon neutral economy.

1

ARTIS Public Blockchain Launch

April 2018

The ARTIS Blockchain was introduced in cooperation with the Cryptoeconomics Research Lab at the WU Vienna with the objective of offering an open blockchain protocol to experiment with programmable money for various applications.

2

ARTIS Mainnet Launch

November 2018

While the crypto markets were collapsing, we have been working relentlessly to launch the ARTIS main net and managed to overdeliver in times where most market participants underdelivered.

3

Hardware Wallet Support for ATS

March 2019

Providing a safe storage possibility of assets on ARTIS and for the ARTIS native token ATS.

4

Ethereum Bridges

April 2019

The movement of assets between blockchains (interoper-ability) is key for broader blockchain adoption. Several bridges have been implemented to effortlessly move ATS, PLY and DAI tokens between Ethereum and ARTIS.

5

World Premier of the car that charges itself

May 2019

ARTIS supports the world’s first automated EV-charging with streamable DAI via the Minerva Wallet proving that real-world blockchain based use cases are on the verge of mass adoption.

6

ARTIS ‘Moon’ Network Upgrade

Q1 2020

With the Moon Network Upgrade, ARTIS will be the first blockchain to use the Honey Badger of BFT consensus (HBBFT) the most resilient, performant and censorship-resistant consensus protocol available.

7

POC of 1 Earth | 0 Carbon Fund

Q2 2019

A coordination platform to foster the transition to carbon neutral energy supply on a global scale.

8

DEX Listing

Q3 2020

ARTIS will be listed on multiple decentralized exchanges.

9

Swarm Integration

Q4 2019

ARTIS will integrate Swarm and will be amongst the first to support decentralized storage.

10

Further Development

Q1 2021

The development of the network will be carried out based on the learnings and achievements of 2020.
