A Unified Cryptographic L1 Blockchain
The First Layer-1 with a Unified Cryptographic Foundation
Abstract
The first Layer-1 with its whole cryptographic stack on one mathematical foundation. Six pillars, one ground: MLE-DB for state, Jolt Pro GR for execution, APEX for parallel execution, RLNC for networking, HSS-CoFHE for privacy, CHITA for archival storage. The state-access cost model compares at approximately 2,929× for N=2^20 and one million accesses—not a measured whole-block speedup.
Lightpaper
The whole argument at a fraction of the length: architecture, the six pillars, and the results, without the proofs.
