Blockchain as seen by Security Experts

A key objective of Callisto Network is the implementation of core features based on smart contacts.

Thus, we have designed and developed a core set of protocols built on smart contracts for a reference implementation of a passive income mechanism, a governance system, and a development funding mechanism.

Convinced security is the real catalyst for the adoption of any technology. We have founded the Callisto Security Department, a team of decentralized auditors, and a trusted audit process.

Callisto Network is a self-sustaining and self-funded blockchain ecosystem not financed by pre-mined coins or an ICO.

Leading Security Experts in the Smart Contracts Industry

Callisto Network helps smart contract developers reduce risk and flaws in smart contracts code and thus drive the adoption of programmable blockchains to benefit the entire crypto industry.

Having performed more than 300 smart contract audits, including many of the significant crypto projects, Callisto Network has established itself as an independent third party security expert.

Smart Contract Migration Service

Callisto Network puts its experience and knowledge at the service of the developers who desire to migrate their dApps from Ethereum to EOS.
Created to solve the problem of speed and scalability, EOS is an advanced smart contract platform offering an optimal user experience.

The All-in-One Ecosystem

Callisto cryptocurrency is peer-to-peer Internet money that can be used to make instant payments virtually no cost to anyone in the world.
Strategic partnerships with recognized exchanges and technical specifications make Callisto cryptocurrency a high-performance solution for transferring funds.

Passive Income With Crypto For Everyone

One of Callisto’s unique features is the ability to earn a monthly passive income through a process called Cold Staking.

The Cold Staking’s smart-contract receives 30% of all CLO mining rewards and distributes them among the cold stackers in direct proportion to their stakes. In other words, cold stakers receive interest for merely holding their CLO cryptocurrency.
