AnchorChain Architecture
A complete blockchain stack — from consensus layer to employee-facing platform — built for cost-efficient Azure deployment.
Full Ethereum JSON-RPC. Connect MetaMask, use ethers.js v6, wagmi v2, or any EVM toolchain out of the box.
Deploy your company's own IC token economy. Employees earn IC for ideas, invest in colleagues' innovations, and claim ROI.
OpenZeppelin Governor with Timelock. Protocol upgrades require token-weighted votes — no single admin key can act unilaterally.
Runs on B1ms spot VMs for under $10/month. Key Vault managed identities, Terraform IaC, and CI/CD included from day one.
A Next.js 14 block explorer with real-time WebSocket updates, ABI decoding, governance UI, and document verification.
Fully documented API with SIWE authentication, Redis caching, Bull queues, IPFS via Pinata, and live event streaming.
ICS gives every employee a stake in your company's innovation pipeline — without requiring any blockchain expertise.
Employees earn IC tokens by submitting approved ideas, attending innovation events, and contributing to implemented projects.
+50 IC / ideaBack the ideas you believe in. Invest your IC into colleagues' proposals and hold a proportional share of that idea's future returns.
100+ IC / ideaWhen an implemented idea generates revenue, ROI is distributed proportionally to all investors and vests over a 30-day schedule.
