What is PlatON (LAT)?
PlatON is a blockchain that provides trustless computing infrastructure specifically designed for decentralized systems. It is optimized for building and scaling dapps as well as blockchain networks. PlatON was created in 2018 by Feng Xiao and has since grown to support the building of multiple technologies, including AI.
How PlatON (LAT) Works
PlatON has developed a new consensus mechanism called Concurrent Byzantine Fault Tolerance (CBFT) to improve the efficiency of its blockchain network. CBFT has the ability to produce blocks continuously without waiting for the previous blocks to be confirmed. CBFT also can greatly reduce complexity in communication, thereby significantly improving block production efficiency.
PlatON also utilizes another unique consensus mechanism called Probabilistic Proof-of-Stake (PPoS). It randomly selects nodes to participate in the CBFT consensus to balance performance and the number of verified nodes. Any LAT token holder can pledge to participate in the validator, and other LAT holders can vote through delegation. Validators are randomly selected from a list of validators through Verifiable Random Function (VRF) and probability distribution. Validators take turns to become proposers to produce blocks, and other validators perform block validation.
LAT is the native cryptocurrency of the PlatON network. LAT is used to pay fees for transactions, to incentivize nodes to process and verify transactions, to pay for data and computing power in the PlatON market, and to support the development of DApps and DeFi on the network.
How Many PlatON (LAT) Tokens Are in Circulation?
There is no hard cap on total supply for LAT. 3,666,885,924 LAT is in circulation.

Early June through late September make up the bulk of the dry season. Between the end of December and the beginning of February, there is a second dry season called "Pequenas Gravana." The majority of São Tomé Príncipe's terrain is mountainous. Other substantial amounts of land are covered with rainforests, the majority of which give place to cloud forests at higher altitudes.
