  • Chief Economist

    2018

    Geeq is a layer 1 blockchain infrastructure platform. Geeq uses a newly developed Proof of Honesty validation protocol which implements honest node behavior in coalition-proof equilibrium. Geeq's no-consensus, consensus approach moves the power to determine truth to the edge and empowers users to protect themselves from dishonest or Byzantine nodes. Geeq's mulitchain architecture provides infinite salability and customizablity to specific uses cases at very low cost (below 1/100 of a cent) per transaction. Learn more at https://geeq.io/.
