Splinter’s advanced privacy features are based on circuits, which create distributed privacy domains within the larger Splinter network. Circuits are fully distributed without compromise — no centralized nodes or administration.

Splinter’s architecture supports running multiple distributed ledgers. The default ledger, Scabbard, executes WebAssembly smart contracts with Transact and Sawtooth Sabre.

No single distributed ledger works for all use cases, so Splinter provides a modular platform that can run multiple distributed ledgers. You can design the architecture you need, then build your solution by assembling the right pieces.

Business logic is defined with smart contracts, ensuring that all parties follow the same rules when updating distributed data. Upload new smart contracts as your business logic evolves, without additional server configuration.

The sophisticated event subscription capability lets applications plug into Splinter in real time. Applications can use events in many ways, such as materializing data into an SQL database to enable standard web application development.
