1Money Network Technologies builds a Layer-1 blockchain for stablecoin payments with sub-second finality and 250K TPS capacity.
1Money Network Technologies
1Money Network Technologies operates a Layer-1 blockchain designed solely for stablecoin payments and tokenized deposits. The firm has raised over $20 million in capital from undisclosed backers described as prominent investors (per firm website). Unlike general-purpose blockchains, 1Money forgoes smart contracts entirely, using a deterministic Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus mechanism to process transactions without blocks, queues, or fee-based prioritization. The network's strategy focuses on institutional-grade payment infrastructure. Its patent-pending Byzantine Consistent Broadcast protocol confirms transactions in under one second, supporting more than 250,000 transactions per second with near-infinite horizontal scalability. The architecture separates transaction processing from governance and checkpointing, enabling linear scaling through node-level sharding. A permissioned validator set — subject to KYC onboarding, AML standards, and ongoing monitoring — enforces native compliance controls, including automated sanctions blocking. The firm's capital base is limited to the disclosed $20 million fundraise. No team size, founding year, or named principals are publicly available beyond the corporate entity. The website lists no offices, partnerships, adjacent vehicles, or philanthropic structures. 1Money's structural distinction lies in its rejection of smart contracts entirely. By trading programmability for determinism, the network eliminates the primary attack surface that has compromised general-purpose blockchains — a design choice that prioritizes settlement finality over composability.

Frequently asked questions
What differentiates 1Money's consensus mechanism from standard proof-of-stake chains?
1Money uses a deterministic Byzantine Fault Tolerant design rather than probabilistic consensus. Because there are no blocks, transactions are processed individually and immediately, sidestepping the fee-auction dynamics and reorg risks common on block-based networks. The protocol also decouples transaction processing from governance to maintain throughput stability.
Why does 1Money prohibit smart contracts on its network?
The firm argues that smart contract vulnerabilities remain the dominant exploit vector on general-purpose blockchains, enabling theft and operational disruption. By eliminating smart contracts, 1Money removes that attack surface entirely. The trade-off is a loss of on-chain composability in favor of deterministic payment finality.
How does the network handle compliance and sanctions screening?
The 1Money Network embeds compliance directly at the protocol layer, including automated sanctions-blocking controls. While the network is permissionless at the user level, validators are permissioned and must undergo KYC onboarding, global AML standards adherence, and ongoing monitoring. This bifurcated model aims to combine open access with a regulated validator set.
What is the current transaction capacity and how does it scale?
The network claims throughput exceeding 250,000 transactions per second today (per firm website). It scales linearly through node-level horizontal sharding, a patent-pending architecture that adds processing capacity as validators join. The design aims to supply the global throughput required for a stablecoin-native payments rail.
Who has invested in 1Money Network Technologies?
The firm states it has raised over $20 million from prominent but unnamed investors (per firm website). No specific venture capital firms, strategic backers, or individual investors have been publicly disclosed. This limited disclosure is atypical for a capital-intensive infrastructure project at this stage.
