The Koinos Blockchain is a permissionless peer to peer network that supports the KOIN token and associated smart contract platform. It was designed to improve upon (and directly compete with) other programmable smart contract platforms such as Ethereum, EOS, and Solana.
Originally released as nonfree software, it is now fully open source as of 2023 (the nonfree restrictions expired in December, 2022).
It is implemented as a microservice architecture, with several different processes communicating by sending protobuf messages via a message bus.
