Ardor is a blockchain platform with the ability to be powered by the sun. In fact, you can run an Ardor node on very-low-energy-consumption devices such a Raspberry Pi3 B solar panels, an LCD screen, and an external battery to run a completely green blockchain node These devices only consume a few watts per hour, so you don't need high-capacity batteries or large solar panels to power it from the sun. The platform enables businesses to set up their own blockchains without having to secure or code it themselves. #### User-permissioning User-permissioning capabilities are vital to the necessary flexibility of a variety of use cases and an open door to mainstream adoption of blockchain technology. #### Scalability With scalability built into the Ardor network, it solves many existing industry problems like single token dependency and the need for customisation of compatible blockchain solutions. #### Child chain, Ignis An essential part of the Ardor platform is their first child chain, Ignis, a full-featured chain set up with hybrid user permissioning capabilities for everyday transactions with low fees.  #### Proof of stake Ardor uses a POS (Proof-of-stake) consensus algorithm, to keep the environment efficient and ensure the network is secured.
