Graphene is an open-sourced blockchain technology that is focused on performance and modularity. Written primarily in the C++ programming language, Graphene restructured its performance capabilities through the tightening of consensus operations; through the implementation of DPoS (Delegated-Proof-of-Stake). Moreover its additional innovation can be found in its separation of the computational logic layer from the inter-node communication layer; which in turn, allows for flexible implementation of logic components (repurposing logic from business and finaces to IOT & so on).
