Tezos X: Unveiling the Future of Modular Blockchain Design
The post Tezos X: Unveiling the Future of Modular Blockchain Design appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The next generation of blockchain technology has arrived with the introduction of Tezos X, according to Tezos Spotlight. Developed by Nomadic Labs, Trilitech, and Functori, Tezos X promises a scalable, modular, and cloud-integrated backend for a wide range of applications. From Monolithic to Modular Initially, Tezos operated as a monolithic blockchain, where each node replicated all network activities. While effective in maintaining decentralization, this model posed significant scalability challenges. As network activity increased, so did the requirements for computing power and bandwidth, risking centralization. To address these challenges, Tezos has evolved into a modular design. This new approach keeps consensus and governance on layer 1, while other activities are offloaded to specialized modules. This evolution aims to enhance performance without compromising security or decentralization. Boosting Performance with Smart Rollups Tezos X leverages Smart Rollups, a technology designed to scale the network by executing transactions on dedicated second layers, while consensus and settlement remain on layer 1. In July 2023, developers demonstrated the network’s capability to handle 1 million transactions per second using Smart Rollups and Data Availability Committees (DACs). The recent addition of a Data-Availability Layer (DAL) further enhances the network’s ability to manage large volumes of data in a decentralized manner. Enhancing Composability Tezos X also aims to improve composability, allowing applications to interact seamlessly. The vision includes a single canonical rollup to handle most network activities, ensuring complete composability. This rollup will support multiple execution environments, enabling smart contracts written in different programming languages to interact within the same transaction. Interoperability and Developer Experience Interoperability is another key focus of Tezos X. The network aims to support mainstream programming languages, making it accessible to a broader range of developers. Ongoing projects include Etherlink, an EVM-compatible Smart Rollup, and Michelson rollup, which supports existing smart contract languages on Tezos.…
