Technical Build: Consensus Layer
Using Substrate Framework, the ZKP blockchain employs BABE+GRANDPA for Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus, achieving ~6-second block production with 1–2 second finality.
Modular Consensus for Rapid Finality
Combining BABE’s slot-based production with GRANDPA’s chain-based finality for fast, secure, and forkless operation.
BABE's slot-based block production combined with GRANDPA's chain-based finality ensures no forks unless (> 1/3) validators are Byzantine, with latency (Latency = BlockTime + FinalizationTime) (BlockTime ≈ 6s, FinalizationTime ≈ 1–2s).
Substrate's modular framework enables custom pallets (e.g., pallet-poi, pallet-posp) and governance, while tools like Substrate CLI facilitate rapid development, supporting iteration for AI and privacy features.
Pallet Structure
Flexible on-chain parameter updates and efficient state storage for evolving AI compute demands.
Substrate uses Patricia Tries for state storage, with ~1ms read/write latency for key-value operations.
Governance proposals (e.g., runtime upgrades, parameter changes) execute through the democracy pallet in ~1 block (~6s), ensuring agile parameter updates (e.g., adjusting PoI/PoSp weights) through forkless runtime upgrades.
Performance Tuning
Dynamic transaction prioritization balances resource use and network performance.
Substrate's transaction pool prioritizes transactions by fee per weight (Priority = Fee / Weight), with configurable pool capacity.
Block weight limits cap computational resources, balancing throughput and execution time within the 6-second block window.
