Architecture
How the network works
A sovereign-grade zkEVM Layer-2 that proves every state transition and settles to Ethereum — with a sovereign-rollup option and zero-knowledge privacy throughout.
The stack
The stack.
Four layers, one path. Execution produces state; the prover attests it; the rollup stack posts it; Ethereum verifies it.
- executionThe zkEVMAn EVM-equivalent execution layer orders transactions and produces each new state.
- provingThe proverA zero-knowledge proof attests that every state transition was executed correctly.
- settlementThe rollup stackState roots and their proofs are posted for verification, with a sovereign-rollup option.
- L1EthereumEach proof is verified on Ethereum, which anchors finality for the whole network.
Every layer is documented and falsifiable.read the spec ↗
Settlement & finality
Settlement & finality.
The network settles every state transition to Ethereum. A proof verified on L1 is what makes a transition final — not an assertion, a transaction.
How state roots settle to Ethereum, and what finality means.
The settlement path, proof verification on L1, and where to watch it happen live.

The proof system
The proof system.
A zero-knowledge proof attests that every state transition was executed correctly — while the underlying data stays private.
What is proven, the prover's role, and how Ethereum verifies it.
Written for ZK researchers — precise, falsifiable, and honest about open problems.

Interoperability
Interoperability.
A credential, payment, or record proven in one nation is verified in another — with ZK privacy preserved at each hop, and neither sovereign surrendering control of its data.
Cross-border verification between sovereigns.
Concrete state cases: credential verification, cross-government payments, trade-document exchange.

Sovereign rollups
Sovereign rollups.
Use the shared network, or run a dedicated rollup under your nation's control — with identical security and settlement properties.
Shared network versus a sovereign rollup.
Same security, same settlement to Ethereum. Your data, your borders, your keys.

The architecture is documented end-to-end, and every transition resolves to a proof in the explorer.
