PlatON is a service-based computing architecture. In addition to providing basic services such as computing, data, storage, and network, application developers can also publish their own application services on PlatON. The operation of each application on PlatON consumes certain resources (including computing power, bandwidth, storage, data, etc.). In order to realize the fair and reasonable use of resources and avoid the abuse of resources, PlatON realizes the reasonable scheduling and validity verification of resources through a series of algorithms, and uses LAT to measure the use of resources.
LAT is also the energy that drives the operation of PlatON, the "computing factory". Each application chain can also create its own application LAT. In the PlatON network, users only need one unified account to manage and use their own LAT. LATs of different chains can be freely transferred across chains.
PlatON consists of a main chain and multiple application chains. The business of each chain is independent of each other and logically parallel to each other. The main chain is the initial chain of the PlatON network, and the application chain is a vertical chain derived to solve specific industry problems.
