# 5.1. Blockchain The Future Gold blockchain is based on Future Gold code (a.k.a. Future Gold), and the entire project named Future Gold is public on GitHub . The decision to premise on the work of Future Gold’s developers was made because the blockchain they created is fast, secure and has low transaction costs. It was not necessary to “reinvent the wheel”, so to speak. There are a couple of differences between Future Gold and Future Gold -core. One of them is that staking is much more rewarding with Future Gold. The reason for this is that a lot of stakers means that the network has a higher grade of decentralization. High staking rewards are a strong incentive for staking, and will secure the network with many nodes. Other differences affect the scalability and speed of transactions. Optimizations were implemented so that transaction fees are reduced while confirmations occur faster. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
