# Main Features

● **'Clique' Proof-of-Authority (PoA) Consensus**: The Clique consensus algorithm is a simple and efficient mechanism where a fixed group of known participants take turns proposing and validating blocks, achieving fast block confirmation and immediate finality in a blockchain network.\
\
● **EVM-compatible**: Existing Ethereum smart contracts can easily be migrated to SatoshiChain without requiring any further modification. \
\
● **Decentralized Governance**: Community members (token holders) can make proposals, delegate, vote on the blockchain parameters & events, and influence governance decisions. \
\
● **Cross-chain compatibility**: Bitcoin can be easily utilized on the SatoshiChain network by wrapping the Bitcoin via the SatoshiChain bridge, and sent back to the Bitcoin network as needed.
