Introduction

Let’s face it, most of the crypto world is tired of slow and inefficient scalability issues that are prevalent in web3. While many Layer 2 solutions have emerged to solve those problems, they’re still missing out on technology that can provide true scalability to the Ethereum network. Look no further than the Goshen Network, making the blockchain speedy, scalable, and secure.

The Goshen Network deploys a unique tech stack, including Optimistic Rollups (ORUs) and a multilayered architecture. With ORUs, the network can offer increased scalability whilst maintaining a sufficient level of scalability and is paving the way for a faster and more streamlined future in blockchain capabilities.

Goshen Network: The Layer 2 with Speed and Security

Layer 2 scaling solutions are needed to power the next wave of decentralized applications. The blockchain can't keep up with the demand for speed and scalability, so development needs to happen off-chain. Current Layer 2 solutions are being developed and expanded, but they’re not the only ones. Now there's also the Goshen Network.

The Goshen Network uses an optimistic rollup protocol to increase transaction throughput at a cheaper gas cost while preserving decentralization and security from the Ethereum main chain that Goshen is built upon. The Goshen Network also ensures simplicity and versatility with a unique layered architecture.

While utilizing Goshen is a comparable user and developer experience to Ethereum, it’s speedier and has much lower transaction costs than L1. Because it is compatible with your favorite Ethereum tools, you may deploy Ethereum contracts directly without worrying about security or compatibility.

Optimistic Rollups Enable Bulk Transaction Validation

ORUs are a critical differentiating factor to Goshen’s tech stack as opposed to other Layer 2 and Ethereum scaling solutions. Through off-chain computation and data storage, ORUs increase throughput and latency on Ethereum's network. An optimistic rollup handles transactions away from the Ethereum MainNet, easing base layer congestion and enhancing scalability.

The term "optimistic" refers to an attribute that sets optimistic rollups apart: they reveal less on-chain data about transactions and presume that all transactions are legitimate. They aggregate -- or "roll up" -- tens of thousands of transactions into batches before submitting them to the MainNet, which is why they are nicknamed "roll ups."

Because transactions may be quickly confirmed on the main blockchain if necessary, ORUs don't require a high level of trust in terms of off-chain processing. This enables ORUs to offer a quicker and more effective solution for decentralized apps and services by balancing scalability and security. This is what powers Goshen as a speedy, security, scalable L2 solution.

The Unique Benefits of Goshen's Layered Architecture

Layer scalability is a term used to describe the ability of a system to scale effectively by adding additional layers. The benefits of layer scalability are many, but some of the most notable are increased security, improved performance, and enhanced flexibility. Goshen's layered architecture is designed to provide all of these benefits, achieving them in a unique way utilizing ORUs.

Goshen’s layered architecture is what sets it apart from other ORU protocols. Here’s why. First, the bottom layer is a general-purpose computing environment for Layer 2, based on RISC-V, enabling trustless off-chain computations on Layer 1. The Layer 2 then implements the Layer 1’s state transition logic, ensuring full compatibility with the Layer 1 ecosystem. This is a significant advancement for cross-layer interoperability.

There’s also a reliable cross-layer message communication mechanism that provides interoperability between both Layer 1 and 2. This enables building and development of upper-layer applications, like token bridges. If there’s an on-chain challenge, the interactive challenge protocol reduces the cost of on-chain transactions, and generally creates a more robust and resilient protocol than many other non-layered ORU architectures.

In short, Goshen's tech and security strengths are enabling a new era in the development of Layer 2 scalability solutions. This will help overcome many of the current limitations associated with blockchain and the Ethereum network using ORUs and a multilayered architecture.

From increasing transaction throughput times to enabling cross-chain communication, these new scalable technologies are paving a way for a more efficient blockchain experience. With Goshen on the forefront of an innovative approach to scaling in a secure manner, there’s limitless potential to what Goshen builders can achieve.
