# Current Lithosphere Features

**Interoperability**

Cross-chain interoperability through a decentralized custodian model (MDKM)

**Next-generation Blockchain for NFTs**

A scalable, decentralized, cross-chain network designed to bring non-fungible tokens to everyone.

**Time-Lock Feature**

Lithosphere’s unique Time-Lock feature enables you to extract time-value out of your digital assets

**Security**

Manage and control private keys in a distributed manner with MDKM technology

**Scalability**

Solving the scaling problem is an open issue for PoW blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum v1. Currently, Bitcoin & Ethereum nodes process every single transaction and also store all the states. Since Lithosphere’s proof-of-stake can commit blocks much faster than Proof-of-work, EVM zones powered by Lithopshere’s consensus and operating on bridged-crypto can provide higher performance to PoW blockchains Ethereum, Litecoin & Bitcoin.

**Digital Assets**

Create, manage or even lend your own digital assets & NFT’s using the Lithosphere’s LEP100 protocol.

**Cross-chain gaming assets.**

Game economies, owned by players.

Create in-game assets that are available forever. Bring lasting value to gamers by letting them take their loot to another game or into the real world on the JOT ART blockchain-powered by Litho.
