Overview

Tutus is a high-performance blockchain platform engineered for sovereign government deployments. It provides the foundational infrastructure for digital identity, democratic governance, universal services, and transparent economics at national scale.

Key Features

• Sovereign Architecture — Each government operates an independent blockchain instance with full data sovereignty
• Sub-Second Finality — 1-second block times with deterministic Byzantine Fault Tolerant (dBFT) consensus
• Zero-Cost Citizen Access — Native fee subsidization ensures universal access regardless of economic status
• Constitutional Rights Framework — 14 immutable rights encoded directly into the protocol
• Cross-Border Interoperability — Optional federation protocol for inter-government cooperation

Performance

Native Contracts

Tutus includes purpose-built native contracts for government operations:

Contract	Purpose
Vita	Soul-bound identity token (one per person)
Annos	Lifespan and age verification
Lex	Constitutional rights and legal framework
Scire	Universal education infrastructure
Salus	Universal healthcare management
Sese	Life planning and sabbaticals
Eligere	Democratic voting and governance
VTS	Government-backed stablecoin
Tribute	Anti-hoarding economic policy
Collocatio	Citizen investment opportunities

Security

Tutus implements comprehensive security measures:

• Domain-Specific Committees — Separate authority for legal, health, education, economic, identity, and governance operations
• Circuit Breakers — Automatic operation halting on anomaly detection
• Formal Invariants — Runtime verification of critical protocol properties
• Comprehensive Audit Logging — Full traceability of all operations
