# Provenance Blockchain

[Provenance] is a distributed, proof of stake blockchain designed for the financial services industry.
[Provenance Blockchain][provenance] is an eco-friendly proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain purpose built to modernize financial services, and the Provenance app is the core application for running a node in the network.

For more information about [Provenance Inc](https://provenance.io) visit https://provenance.io
Provenance Blockchain is open-source with purpose-built capabilities leveraging the [CometBFT](https://docs.cometbft.com) (formerly Tendermint) consensus engine and [Cosmos SDK][cosmos]. Combined, this complete financial services infrastructure makes it safer, easier, cheaper, and faster to build and manage financial products and services.


The Provenance app is the core blockchain application for running a node on the Provenance Network. The node
software is based on the open source [Tendermint](https://tendermint.com) consensus engine combined with the
[Cosmos SDK](https://cosmos.network) and custom modules to support apis for financial services. [Figure](https://figure.com)
is the first and primary user of the Provenance Blockchain.
For more information on the many TradFi institutions and Fintechs leveraging the Provenance Blockchain ecosystem, and to learn more about the Provenance Blockchain Foundation, visit [https://provenance.io][provenance].

## Quick Start

The Provenance Blockchain is based on Cosmos, the [sdk introduction](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/main/docs/docs/intro/00-overview.md)
is a useful starting point.
As the [Provenance Blockchain][provenance] and its core modules are based on the [Cosmos SDK][cosmos], [this introduction](https://docs.cosmos.network/main/learn/intro/overview) into Cosmos is a useful starting point.

Developers can use a local checkout and the make targets `make run` and `make localnet-start` to run a local development network.
