That’s Built To Use

Technology Overview

Neblio is an open-source, decentralized, and secure blockchain platform built for a wide variety of enterprise-level applications and services. Use cases include Supply Chain, Records Management, Gaming, Asset Tracking, Identity Management, and many more. 

Our core vision is simplicity and making blockchain development easily accessible. Through our RESTful API SDKs available in eight of today’s most popular programming languages, we offer easy integration with both legacy and new application architectures looking to benefit from blockchain technology. 

The Neblio blockchain supports the tokenization of both physical and digital assets through Neblio Token Protocol-1 (NTP1). Neblio’s large block size and fast block time enable lightning-fast transactions, individualized token metadata, and high transaction throughput.

Neblio Wallets

Neblio offers a variety of wallets depending on your needs. Most users will choose between the Core Desktop wallets and the Orion web wallet.

The Core Desktop Wallets enable your computer (or Raspberry Pi) to join and help operate the Neblio Network while also supporting NTP1 token transactions and NEBL staking.

The Neblio Orion web wallet operates in your computer or mobile phone’s web browser allowing the transfer of NEBL and NTP1 tokens from virtually any device. Orion does not currently support the network via staking NEBL.
