What is Helios?

Helios is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain with a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, enabling developers to build decentralized, programmable, and automated portfolio products.

Key Objectives:

• Scalability: Support high transaction throughput (TPS)

• Security: Ensure network safety through cryptographic methods

• Decentralization: Maintain a distributed network without central authority

• Eco-Friendly: Low energy consumption via PoS

How Helios Works

• Execution Layer: Runs smart contracts and portfolio operations.

• Automation Layer: Handles rebalancing, periodic buys, and conditional operations automatically.

• Cross-Chain Layer: Enables direct interaction with assets and protocols on other blockchains.

Developers create tokenized portfolios with predefined rules. Users can enter or exit portfolios, while asset allocations update automatically.

HLS Ecosystem User Journey

• Bridge Assets: Transfer ETH, BTC, BNB, AVAX, and others to Helios as ETF collateral.

• Create or Join ETFs: Select thematic baskets or build your own; AI manages strategy.

• Govern & Vote: Voting on asset weights, composition, and policies.

• Earn Yield: Rebalancing and distributions automatically return to users via Chronos.
