At it's core, Unitus is based on Bitcoin. This provides the proven and tested blockchain technology that is now used by the leading crypto currencies. But whilst Bitcoin led this new era, it is not without it's share of issues. Relying on a single algorithm (SHA256d) has led to an arms race in mining hardware, resulting now in an eco-system where only those willing to invest significant capital can mine Bitcoin on a profitable basis - and only then if a very cheap source of power can be utilised. Unitus uses 5 independant algorithms to ensure the blockchain remains secure and can be mined by anyone, regardless of the hardware they have available to them.
