Introduction

In the dynamic and ever-evolving world of crypto, those who innovate and are not afraid to push boundaries end up ahead. At Derivio, we've been pioneers, relentlessly pushing the envelope and redefining the very fabric of onchain trading. Today, we're on the brink of an exciting new era — transitioning from our groundbreaking derivatives protocol, to Derivio Network. This bespoke network is tailored to augment Ethereum's capabilities, fully compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), and optimized to deliver superior performance and efficiency.

Why Transition to a Dedicated Chain?

Since our inception, Derivio has challenged expectations, charting new territories in the structured derivatives market, allowing traders to engage with derivatives through a fully decentralized platform. However, despite our successes, we've recognized that to truly unleash the potential of financial decentralization, a fundamental shift is necessary.

Scalability and Performance: The original Derivio application, while robust, was limited by its pre-existing blockchain infrastructures. Enter Derivio Network: a custom-built solution engineered from the ground up to tear down these barriers, offering a powerhouse of performance that is lightning-fast, highly adaptable, and exceptionally cost-effective. Secured by Ethereum using optimistic ZKVM fraud proofs, Derivio Network enables the deployment of trustless bridges across existing chains and ecosystems.

Fortified FHE Shielding: In the world of finance, confidentiality of sensitive information is paramount, yet most decentralized applications currently do not offer any protection at all. Derivio Network transforms this landscape by deploying advanced cryptographic designs (ZK+MPC / FHE), making it possible to selectively shield only sensitive data while maintaining verifiability and transparency. These innovations protect traders’ strategies with unprecedented security, not merely as an upgrade but as a paradigm shift in on-chain trading.

Optimized for Performance Sensitive Applications: While general-purpose blockchains offer flexibility, they falter under the heavy demands of high-stakes financial applications. Derivio Network is meticulously engineered for the financial sector, integrating native trading primitives and atomic operations. By leveraging the SVM’s parallel execution capabilities, Derivio Network is compatible with an existing developer ecosystem of high-throughput blockchain applications, building on prior innovations and improving scalability, safety, and efficiency. Derivio is the only chain that offers Atomic Invariants, Runtime-Native Modularity, FHE Shielding, and the highest order-per-second performance (OPS).

What Does This Mean for You?

Derivio Network represents a significant leap forward, establishing a foundational blockchain designed specifically for trading applications with the capability to host multiple first-party exchanges. This broader approach caters specifically to the diverse needs of developers and traders.
