4. Designed for optional high-overhead, low-latency BFT finality
5. Smart contract platform powered by WebAssembly
6. Designed for Sparse Header Light Client Validation
7. Scheduled Recurring Transactions
8. Time Delay Security
9. Hierarchical Role Based Permissions

11. Designed for Parallel Execution of Context Free Validation Logic
12. Designed for Inter Blockchain Communication

Block.one is neither launching nor operating any initial public blockchains based upon the PICOIO software. This release refers only to version 1.0 of our open source software. We caution those who wish to use blockchains built on PICOIO to carefully vet the companies and organizations launching blockchains based on PICOIO before disclosing any private keys to their derivative software.

PICOIO currently supports the following operating systems:

1. Amazon Linux 2
2. CentOS 7
3. Ubuntu 16.04
4. Ubuntu 18.04
5. MacOS 10.14 (Mojave)

Note: It may be possible to install PICOIO on other Unix-based operating systems. This is not officially supported, though.

If you are new to PICOIO, it is recommended that you install the PICOIO Prebuilt Binaries, then proceed to the Getting Started walkthrough. If you are an advanced developer, a block producer, or no binaries are available for your platform, you may need to Build PICOIO from source.

Note: If you used our scripts to build/install PICOIO, please run the Uninstall Script before using our prebuilt binary packages.

Prebuilt PICOIO software packages are available for the operating systems below. Find and follow the instructions for your OS:

brew tap picoio/picoio
brew install picoio

brew remove picoio
