# Advantages of the Paladeum Platform

* With a high degree of automation, Paladeum's transaction processing costs are significantly lower than traditional banking technologies. 
* Private key and immutability (internal employees or external hackers cannot change the ledger without knowing the user key) 
* Improved transparency of all transactions in the internal chain explorer (any operation, including fee changes, is considered a transaction) 
* Transaction speed – the process from start to completion takes a few seconds.
