what's Hotstuff Labs?

Hotstuff Labs is building Hotstuff L1, a purpose-built DeFi Layer 1 blockchain optimized for programmable finance. It connects on-chain trading with global fiat rails, enabling seamless payments, remittances, and high-performance trading on a single coherent chain. Powered by the custom DracoBFT consensus protocol—a variant of the HotStuff BFT mechanism—and a modular execution fabric, Hotstuff L1 supports efficient state machine replication suitable for hybrid consensus in cryptocurrencies. The project emphasizes modularity and simplicity for DeFi applications.

Hotstuff_labs is a DeFi L1 blockchain with 75ms block times, near-instant finality, supporting diverse trading.
