As a [substrate-based](https://substrate.io/) [PoS](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/proof-of-stake-pos-in-blockchain/) chain, Jur’s modules provide flexible, advanced Web3 governance while creating the ultimate trustless coordination layer.

Jur adheres to the following principles of system design:

* **Modular:** Use what you want
* **Flexible:** Each module has different variations of logics, so that a community can select a sub-category that serves their needs
* **Interoperable:** Interact with Jur Chain through cross-chain communication
* **Secure:** Connected to the Polkadot Relay Chain
* **User Friendly:** Jur offers a set of easy-to-use dApps that interact with the Jur Chain
* **Progressively Decentralized:** Starting with the sudo pallet for efficiency and speed of execution Jur Chain will progressively be decentralized until the runtime is completely managed by the JUR token holders
