Activeledger is a powerful distributed ledger technology. Consider it as a single ledger updated simultaneously in multiple locations. As the data is written to a ledger, it is approved and confirmed by all other locations.

Developer Tools
We have created an IDE for developers to create and manage Activeledger smart contracts across multiple networks. This IDE helps manage the private keys for developers to sign their contracts with and the namespaces their contracts will be stored under in each specific network. This tool is currently in beta but is available for Linux, Windows and OSX.
