The Vision

Totem is building the world's first peer-to-peer accounting consensus protocol. It’s not just a first in the blockchain space – it’s a first in the accounting world too.

We use the peer-2-peer connectivity and real-time consensus properties of blockchains to ensure that all parties to a transaction have their accounting records updated at the time of the event in a way that leaves no room for fraud, corruption or manipulation. The global nature of the network defies politically motivated bad actors from restricting trade between consenting parties whilst preserving goals of personal and business privacy.

As a side-effect you'll be excited to learn that Totem also takes accounting off the todo list for everyone.

Automated book-keeping for a decentralized future

Our main target market is the ever-expanding decentralized economy. As businesses employ less, and contract freelancers more, we are all moving towards a future where our accounting will be at the atomic level of our own Identities.

We are looking towards a future where we only need to share a Totem Identity, and all the book-keeping will be taken care of, automatically, silently and without an accountant in sight.

This is the way future generations will want accounting to be done. This is the way it is done today in Totem.
