The Komodo blockchain is a fork of the ZCash blockchain, which in turn has been branched off from the Bitcoin blockchain, making Komodo a descendant of Bitcoin. It incorporates the zk-snark technology on which Zcash was built and adds a delayed proof of work consensus algorithm to make Komodo more robust and secure. The ultimate goal of Komodo is to develop an entire ecosystem of different partnerships. Since it was designed for developers of all levels and industries, it is very versatile.
