Haust Network

Haust Network is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain powered by zk-rollups, integrating AggLayer, Data Availability, and Account Abstraction from the outset, and offering a seamless DeFi experience with native yield generation through the Haust Wallet and the innovative Haustoria mechanism.

Core of the Haust Network is based on Polygon zkEVM, the most sustainable solution up to date. Polygon zkEVM is to Ethereum a Layer 2 network and a scalability solution utilizing zero-knowledge technology to provide validation and fast finality of off-chain transactions. It is beneficial for developers and includes seamless deployment of smart contracts, developer tools.

Polygon zkEVM combines data availability and execution verification on L1, the Ethereum network, in order to ensure security and reliability of each L2 state transition.

The AggLayer is a decentralized protocol with two components: a common bridge and the ZK-powered mechanism that provides a cryptographic guarantee of safety for seamless, cross-chain interoperability. Agglayer addresses the problems of fragmented liquidity and state across rollups and the L1.

The NEAR Data Availability Layer designed to enhance scalability and efficiency. It separates the storage and availability of transaction data from the execution layer, allowing validators to focus on consensus and execution without being burdened by data storage. By utilizing sharding, the NEAR Data Availability Layer ensures that data is distributed and stored across multiple nodes, improving redundancy and resilience against data loss or corruption. Key features include improved throughput and reduced latency due to the offloading of data availability tasks, as well as enhanced security and reliability through cryptographic proofs and erasure coding techniques that ensure data can be reconstructed even if some nodes go offline.

Nuffle fast finality layer enhances the transaction finality process by significantly reducing the time it takes to confirm transactions as irreversible. It operates as a layer on top of existing blockchain infrastructure, leveraging advanced consensus algorithms to achieve rapid and deterministic finality.

Account Abstraction (AA) is a blockchain technology that allows users to use smart contracts as their accounts. AA plays a critical role in the Haust Network to transform user experience within the Haust Wallet by offering features such as web2-style sign-in, keyless wallet management, social wallet recovery and gas fee management.
