KALIMA ECOSYSTEM : A NETWORK OF BLOCKCHAIN

Kalima Blockchain is composed of the Kalima MainChain and a decentralized network of independent permissioned blockchains called Kalima Privachains. It’s a third generation of blockchain like Cosmos and Polkadot proposing a network of blockchains as a new paradigm to solve the decentralization objective and achieve scalability.

Each Kalima Privachain is independent with its own governance and can be interconnected, or not, with another Kalima Privachain or with Tezos and soon with Lightning networks, Polygon and Cosmos hubs.

Kalima Blockchain Data Lake SDK

The Kalima Blockchain Data Lake SDK is a collaborative tool which relies on Kalima Blockchain technology to ensure full traceability and security of files.

This tool will help users to share and work on documents in a collaborative manner with full traceability of every action that happen on the file directory (modification, upload, deletion of documents). With the Kalima Blockchain data lake SDK you will have a full traceability on your directory, and you will be able to prove with evidence the immutability of a document. If needed, you will have the possibility to recover an older version of a document that has been modified several times. No definitive deletion of a document is possible. In other words, it is indeed possible to download any version of a document, even if it has been deleted. Kalima datalake propose a very complete toolset to manage sharing authorizations.

Introduction

The installation of Kalima Admin with docker is possible to facilitate the process.

The docker image is available on the following registry: kalimasystems

To do this, we just need to docker, see: docs.docker.com/get-docker/

It is then enough to make a “pull” of the image with the following command:

docker pull kalimasystems/kalima-admin:latest

To use Kalima Admin, we also need a REST API in order to have the data on this interface, for that, we will have to install this REST API first.

Governance Overview

GOVERNANCE OVERVIEW

The Kalima Blockchain has two on-Chain governance mechanism. These governance mechanisms are here to managed important changes such as White Paper evolutions, governance evolutions, consensus parameters, Validation Pools remuneration or transaction fees level etc. There are two types of proposal regarding the Kalima Governance with two different voting process: • General governance. • Kalima Network governance. This document provides background information on these different kinds of proposals and best-practices for drafting them and proposing them. In this document “holder of KLX” means to own On-chain KLX, which can be verified with MetaMask, or to own KLX in clif or in vesting which are registered in the governance Kalima Blockchain at the corresponding addresses. All governance proposals submissions, proposals deposits, proposals status and votes are registered in the governance Kalima Blockchain at the corresponding addresses.

Pre-bridge staking

KLX holders will be able to stake their tokens before the bridge of the KLX token from the ERC20 standard to the native KLX standard on the Kalima MainChain. The bridge is scheduled for Q1 2024. Staking ERC20 tokens will help build and secure the Kalima Network, creating a robust staking pool ahead of the launch of the Kalima MainChain.

Between February 2nd, 2023 and the date of the bridge – scheduled for Q1 2024 – KLX holders will be able to stake their tokens in the “Pre-Bridge staking” program. The longer the tokens are staked, the bigger the reward will be, with a maximum return of 10%, for a maximum staking period, i.e. from February 2nd to the day of the launch of the bridge.

STAKING GUIDES

What is staking?

Staking is the process of locking KLX tokens on the chain as a mean of securing the entire Kalima network. For doing so, stakers will earn rewards.

The Kalima Blockchain is a Delegated Proof-Of-Stake (DPoS) blockchain. KLX tokens can be self-delegated directly by a validator or a Validation Pool or delegated to a Validation Pool by KLX holders (delegators).

VALIDATORS ON KALIMA

WHAT ARE VALIDATION NODES

Following the Kalima consensus, each validator must validate all blocks and they all must be validated in respect with their time of arrival. The same reward is given to all validators for all block validations. Validators are in charge of producing correct validation hash in time.

In return for their validation work, they receive rewards:

0,98 KLX is emitted every block for each master nodes for each blockchain
