About HICKORY
What is the Hickory Blockchain?
The HICKORY Blockchain is the reliable and trustworthy platform for releasing OUR and YOUR Web 3.0 applications
The HICKORY Blockchain Ecosystem can be compared to a real Hickory Tree. While the Tree Trunk and the Branches symbolize the Blockchain and its Modules, the Leaves and the Nuts can be compared to the Applications, the Web-Frontend and the Profit you can harvest from the Blockchain.
We have created a robust, secure, reliable & easy-to-use Ecosystem based on our open-source Blockchain. It includes easy Cryptocurrency Payments, DEcentralized EXchange, NFT, Minting and will be expanded to DEcentralized FInance Products, Smart Contracts, Communication- and also Gaming-Applications.
We will further also make use of the most recent developments in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector i.e. to secure smart contract applications, to assist with rapid analysation of huge amounts of data and to detect fraudulent misuse of the HICKORY applications.

Environmental Impact
How GREEN is the HICKORY Blockchain?
As nature lovers we are very aware of the impact that humankind has on the planet's ecosystem.
By developing our HICKORY Blockchain Ecosystem we want to deliver our contribution of making everyday tasks more efficient and therefor less resource intensive.
One of the reasons why we chose a Proof-of-Stake blockchain is, that it's typical energy consumption is much lower than the classical Proof-of-Work approach.
Additionally we will choose to run our own server nodes in data-centers with a low emission footprint.
As far as possible we will also invest into already used hardware to run our nodes, so that we can avoid extra production and further exploitation of our natural resources.
Further on we will encourage our Partners and Validators to base their Provider-Decisions on the idea of minimizing the Energy- and Ecosystem-Impact.
Confidence and Trust
Why would you trust us?

- Because we mainly develop the HICKORY blockchain environment for the purpose of running our own Web 3.0 Applications on it.
- Because we also developed it with the concept of collaboration and partnership in mind, so that our business-partners can also benefit from our stable, trustworthy and reliable backend.
- Because we have a long experience with the blockchain market and we have seen why other chains and exchanges have failed (spectacularly) in the past.
- Because we already have a lot of further applications in the pipeline, that will make the HICKORY blockchain an important player on the market.
- Because you can already checkout the Live Data of our Prototype Testchain here: Link.
- And because we don't want to convince you.
If YOU trust us - YOU trust us.
If you don't, then we are the last ones who try to convince you of anything that would not feel right for you!
