Prasaga has created a new blockchain infrastructure, the DataGrid Blockchain (DGB) that addresses three fundamental issues: • Scalability of the Consensus Algorithm • Parallelization (i.e. Sharding) of the Smart Contract Architecture • Crytocurrency to Incentivize Node Validators (aka Miners) and that is used for transactions rather than just a store of value The DataGrid Blockchain addresses these three aspects with the following:

• Distributed Proof-of-Work (D-POW) for scalability

• Extensible Blockchain Object Model (XBOM) for parallelization

• The DataGrid Token (DGT) Financial Model for cryptocurrency
