Design Principles

To establish a collaborative architecture, the following design principles are framed to achieve this aim. These principles aim to address the scalability and interoperability challenges that hinder the widespread adoption and sustainability of blockchain-oriented solutions.

1. Interoperability: emphasizes the need for a solution that enables both native and multi-chain communications, ensuring seamless authentication, validation, and invocation of smart contracts across diverse chains. This capability fosters cross-chain tokenization and facilitates the realization of various use cases within the blockchain ecosystem.

2. Consensus Mechanism: highlights the importance of achieving true decentralization and an inflationary growth rate through a consensus mechanism that includes full nodes and mobile-enabled devices in transaction validation. To enhance security, the selection of block proposers for staked participants will be completely randomized. Additionally, to ensure scalability, the consensus mechanism should incorporate the active participation of mobile nodes. These measures collectively contribute to the robustness and scalability of the blockchain network.

3. Security: aims to address key challenges in the network, including consistent state updates, flash code logic validation, deterministic behavior of the virtual machine, randomized selection of block proposers, and randomization of the cluster registry with validators. By effectively resolving these challenges, ensures the network is able to provide reliable state management, secure execution of smart contracts, deterministic outcomes, fair block proposer selection, and a randomized distribution of validators within the cluster registry. This comprehensive approach contributes to the overall robustness and stability of the blockchain ecosystem.

4. Scalability and Performance: sets forth an ambitious goal of achieving a high initial throughput of 100,000 transactions per second (TPS). Moreover, it emphasizes the network's ability to dynamically and seamlessly adapt to evolving demands and requirements. This adaptability should enable the network to scale its capacity, throughput, and computational resources in real-time, ensuring efficient handling of growing workloads, increased transaction volumes, and an expanding user base. By incorporating these capabilities, the blockchain network can effectively address the challenges of scalability and cater to the needs of a rapidly evolving ecosystem.

5. Subnets for Privacy and Customization: Leveraging the power of subnets, L1X aims to offer customizable solutions tailored to specific privacy requirements and custom consensus rules. These subnets should enable the flexibility to establish desired ratios between full nodes and validator nodes, ensuring optimal network performance. Furthermore, L1X will support seamless integration with existing infrastructure, allowing entities to leverage their current systems without the need for additional layers. By providing these capabilities, L1X can empower users to tailor their blockchain environment according to their unique needs while maximizing efficiency and compatibility.

6. Transaction and Block Statistics: With a focus on efficiency, L1X aims to achieve impressive block creation timeframes of just 500 milliseconds, enabling rapid block generation within the network. Furthermore, L1X strives for transaction finality in a mere 1.5 seconds, ensuring quick confirmation and settlement of transactions. Significantly, these timeframes are coupled with block sizes of approximately 5 MB, highlighting the network's capacity to handle a substantial volume of transactions. This combination of fast block creation, swift transaction finality, and sizable block sizes holds immense significance in enhancing the overall performance and responsiveness of the L1X blockchain network, fostering a seamless and efficient user experience.

These design principles collectively form the foundation of the Layer One X (L1X) protocol, driving interoperability, scalability, security, and performance in the real-world.
