Technical Challenges & Solutions
How we're solving the most difficult problems in blockchain scaling
Deterministic Timing Guarantees
Challenge: Ensuring settlement within guaranteed time windows despite blockchain variability.
Solution:
- Progressive settlement mechanism that starts well before deadline
- Validator quorum to force settlement when approaching deadline
- Economic incentives that make violations costly
Validator Network Reliability
Challenge: Ensuring validators remain online and responsive to enforce guarantees.
Solution:
- Redundant validator selection with geographic distribution
- Economic penalties for validator unavailability
- Automatic failover mechanisms
Cross-chain Compatibility
Challenge: Ensuring deterministic guarantees work across chains with different timing models.
Solution:
- Chain-specific adapters with conservative timing allowances
- Cross-chain communication via specialized bridge contracts
- Safety margins calibrated to each chain's finality model
Complex State Management
Challenge: Efficiently managing complex application states without bloating the chain.
Solution:
- Application-specific state compression
- Delta-based state updates
- Hierarchical state partitioning for parallel processing
