Haust Network, an EVM-compatible Layer 2 solution, leverages Polygon CDK and zk-rollup technology to dramatically enhance TPS (transactions per second) and minimize gas fees while maintaining network integrity.
The zk-rollup architecture comprises two core components: the rollup chain and the DA layer. The DA layer ensures transaction data remains accessible off-chain, crucial for maintaining verifiability without congesting the mainnet.
The integration of the NEAR Data Availability Layer (NEAR DA) and the Nuffle Fast Finality Layer (NFFL) into Haust Network represents a quantum leap in blockchain security and scalability. This innovative approach tackles the blockchain trilemma head-on: scalability, throughput, and gas optimization, all while preserving a high degree of decentralization and Byzantine fault tolerance.
The NEAR DA layer is a game-changer in this context. Illia Polosukhin, NEAR Protocol’s co-founder, emphasized: “NEAR L1 has demonstrated 100% uptime for over three years, offering unparalleled reliability to projects seeking secure DA with cost-effectiveness.” Renowned for its high-throughput and low-latency architecture, NEAR Protocol delivers a robust and efficient DA solution. Through its sharding mechanism, NEAR can process transactions in parallel, significantly boosting network throughput. This scalability is paramount for meeting the data-intensive demands of zk-rollups on L2 networks.
The synergy between NEAR DA and NFFL, coupled with high throughput and cross-chain interoperability, establishes a formidable ecosystem for L2 EVM-compatible chains. For Haust Network, this translates to enhanced scalability, improved Byzantine fault tolerance, and greater flexibility in dApp deployment. Both developers and users benefit from optimized gas fees and increased efficiency enabled by NEAR’s infrastructure. Moreover, NEAR’s focus on UX and developer-friendliness ensures seamless integration and utilization of Haust Network. NEAR provides a comprehensive suite of dev tools and resources, facilitating the building and deployment of smart contracts on the network.
By leveraging zk-rollups and NEAR’s DA solutions, Haust Network can achieve significant scaling improvements while maintaining the security and decentralization inherent in distributed ledger technology. This integration empowers Haust Network to support a wide range of dApps with enhanced performance and robustness, positioning it at the forefront of the evolving DeFi and Web3 landscape.
