We have more exciting updates to share with you!

As you know, two weeks ago, we announced our transition and the upcoming launch of Derivio’s very own Modular Layer 2 (L2) solution. This new phase in our journey aims to significantly enhance Ethereum’s scalability, allowing for an impressive increase in orders per second (OPS) while maintaining full integration with Ethereum’s robust consensus and security framework.

Derivio’s Modular Architecture: How Does It Work?

A modular blockchain architecture is designed to optimize the performance, security, and scalability of the network by separating different functions into specialized layers such as execution, consensus, settlement, and data availability. By offloading specific tasks to dedicated layers, modular chains can operate more efficiently and flexibly.

Here's how Derivio optimizes its modular architecture to create a powerful solution that combines high performance, robust security, and efficient data management, making it the ideal platform for building the next generation of dApps:

• The Execution Layer, Built on Turbo VM: Turbo VM is a custom virtual machine built by Derivio and designed to be compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). It is the heart of Derivio's execution layer and provides several key advantages:

  • Parallel Execution: Turbo VM allows for the parallel execution of multiple transactions simultaneously. This drastically reduces latency and significantly increases throughput, ensuring that decentralized applications (dApps) on Derivio can perform efficiently even under heavy loads.

  • High Throughput and Low Latency: Derivio’s Turbo VM’s design is optimized for high-speed transaction processing, making it ideal for applications that require rapid execution, such as trading platforms and gaming dApps. This high performance ensures that users experience minimal delays and fast transaction times.

  • Optimized Resource Utilization: By enabling parallel processing, Turbo VM maximizes the utilization of available computational resources, leading to better overall network performance and reduced congestion. This means that the network can handle a higher volume of transactions without slowing down.

  • Enhanced Developer Experience: Turbo VM supports native Rust programming, which allows developers to write more efficient and secure code. This compatibility with Rust, known for its performance and safety, further enhances the development process on Derivio.

• Consensus & Settlement Leveraging Ethereum Security: Derivio leverages Ethereum's consensus and settlement layers to provide a robust security foundation:

  • Established Security Framework: Ethereum is renowned for its security, having been rigorously tested and validated over many years. This makes its consensus and settlement layers highly reliable and trustworthy, providing a solid security base for Derivio without the need to develop a new framework from scratch.

  • Extensive Decentralization: Ethereum’s network consists of thousands of nodes spread across the globe. This extensive decentralization is vital for security, making it resistant to attacks where a single entity could gain control. Such a decentralized structure ensures that the network remains resilient and free from single points of failure.

  • Economic Incentives for Security: Ethereum's Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism relies on validators staking their ETH as collateral. This system incentivizes honest behavior by rewarding validators for proper transaction validation and penalizing malicious actions. This creates a robust economic security model that encourages the integrity of the network.

  • Seamless Interoperability: By leveraging Ethereum’s established infrastructure, Derivio ensures compatibility with the extensive ecosystem of Ethereum-based applications and tools. This interoperability allows for seamless integration with existing dApps and DeFi protocols, broadening the utility and reach of the Derivio network.

• EigenDA: For efficient data storage and accessibility, Derivio uses Eigen as its data availability layer, which provides several significant benefits:

  • Scalability and Efficiency: EigenDA enhances scalability by optimizing the data storage and sampling, enabling blockchains to process larger volumes of transactions and data. This is vital for modular blockchains that aim to support a diverse range of applications while maintaining high transaction throughput. Advanced data management techniques like data sharding and erasure coding are employed to streamline storage and processing. These methods reduce the computational and storage load on individual nodes, which in turn lower costs and overall improved efficiency.

  • Security: EigenDA is built on Eigenlayer’s Ethereum restaking, providing robust security through a slashing mechanism. This approach leverages Ethereum’s security infrastructure to protect against malicious nodes. It ensures data availability by penalizing dishonest behavior, thereby maintaining the integrity and reliability of the network.

  • Reliability: With EigenDA, data availability is distributed across multiple nodes, ensuring redundancy and fault tolerance. This means that even if some nodes fail or act maliciously, the data remains accessible and intact.

Derivio’s unique approach combines advanced shielding features, runtime-native modularity, and atomic invariants to provide a comprehensive and powerful platform for developing next-generation decentralized applications. These features set Derivio apart in the market, offering developers the tools they need to create secure, flexible, and high-performance solutions.

• Advanced Shielding Features: Derivio employs sophisticated shielding technologies to ensure that sensitive data remains confidential and secure throughout the development and execution processes: all this while maintaining transparency by revealing all settlement data:

  • Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK): These cryptographic protocols allow one party to prove to another that a statement is true without revealing any additional information. In Derivio’s context, ZK proofs ensure transaction privacy by allowing data verification without exposing the actual data.

  • Multi-Party Computation (MPC): MPC allows multiple parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private. This technique is critical for collaborative applications where privacy and data integrity are paramount.

  • Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE): FHE enables computations on encrypted data without needing to decrypt it first. This means that data can be processed securely in an encrypted state, preserving privacy while performing necessary operations.

These advanced shielding features provide developers with powerful tools to build applications that maintain the highest levels of data privacy and security, fostering trust and reliability in their solutions.

• Runtime-Native Modularity: Derivio’s approach to modularity within the runtime environment offers developers unparalleled flexibility and adaptability:

  • Dynamic Feature Integration: Developers can modify and integrate features directly within the runtime environment, allowing for real-time updates and customization without disrupting the overall system. This flexibility is crucial for adapting to evolving project requirements and market demands.

  • Seamless Feature Upgrades: As new technologies and protocols emerge, Derivio’s modular approach enables easy integration of these advancements. Developers can incorporate the latest innovations into their applications without extensive rework, ensuring their projects remain cutting-edge.

By embedding modularity within the runtime environment, Derivio empowers developers to create highly adaptable and efficient applications tailored to a wide range of use cases.

• Atomic Invariants: Ensuring stability and consistency within the network, Derivio’s atomic invariants provide a robust foundation for development:

  • Consistency Across Updates: Atomic invariants guarantee that essential aspects of the network remain consistent, even when updates or changes are made. This stability is crucial for maintaining the reliability and integrity of applications built on Derivio.

  • Secure Transaction Processing: By ensuring that transaction processing adheres to core invariants, Derivio minimizes the risk of errors and inconsistencies. This approach provides a dependable environment for executing complex operations and high-value transactions.

  • Predictable Network Behaviour: Developers can rely on a stable and predictable network behaviour, which simplifies the development process and reduces the potential for unforeseen issues. This predictability is key to building robust applications that perform reliably under various conditions.
