🚀 About The Paradigm Shifters (TPS)
We are building a next-generation public blockchain architecture powered by cutting-edge cryptography — including Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) and witness encryption. By decoupling verification from computation, our protocol unlocks massive performance gains, modular flexibility, and privacy-preserving smart contract design.
Our modular chain is purpose-built for developers — designed to support advanced use cases in payments, AI agents, and beyond. Backed by pioneers in the blockchain space, including the Neo Foundation, a globally distributed team of blockchain pioneers, PhDs, cryptographers, and researchers/engineers. We're preparing for launch — and looking for our brand visionary.
