Blockchain

Social Network implements its information trust protocol as a blockchain network, with gas fees paid in BTC. This architecture creates a politically neutral economic incentive needed to sustain decentralized information verification in a sustainable way.

​

Architecture

The Social Network implements its trust protocol through a custom blockchain built on proven scaling technologies, combining the security foundations of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Arbitrum with innovations specific to information verification.

​

Core Architecture

The protocol employs a multi-layer architecture:

Layer	Description
Base Layer	Bitcoin-secured consensus and state verification
Execution Layer	EVM-compatible smart contract runtime
Data Availability Layer	Distributed information storage and retrieval
Verification Layer	Trust protocol implementation
Application Layer	dApps and user interfaces

Integration with Hyperliquid and other DeFi protocols enables efficient capital allocation for trust mechanism incentivization.

​

Speed

The protocol achieves high throughput through:

Characteristic	Value
Block Time	2 second target
Parallel Transaction Processing	Up to 10000 TPS
Optimistic Rollup Batching	Aggregates verification proofs
Sequential Proof Generation	Reduces latency in trust confirmation
Fast Finality	~1 minute for full confirmation

These performance characteristics enable real-time information verification and rapid trust establishment, critical for maintaining shared reality in fast-moving information environments.

​

Fees

The fee structure is designed to align incentives for accurate information verification:

Fee Type	Description
Base Fees	Paid in BTC, creating natural yield for security providers
Priority Fees	Dynamic pricing based on verification demand
Batch Discounts	Reduced costs for aggregated verification proofs
Staking Rewards	Additional yield for long-term security provision
Fee Burning	Partial fee destruction to ensure long-term sustainability

Average transaction costs target < 0.01 to enable micro-verification of information at scale.

​

Energy Efficiency

The protocol optimizes for environmental sustainability while maintaining security:

Efficiency Measure	Description
Proof of Stake Consensus	>99.9 more efficient than Proof of Work
Optimized Proof Generation	Minimal computation for verification
Batched Processing	Amortizes energy costs across multiple verifications
Green Infrastructure Requirements	Validator guidelines for renewable energy
Energy Usage Monitoring	Real-time tracking and optimization

The total network operates at < 0.1 of Bitcoin’s energy consumption while providing additional information verification utility.

​

Security Model

Security is maintained through multiple mechanisms:

Security Mechanism	Description
Bitcoin Anchoring	Regular state commitments to Bitcoin
Ethereum Compatibility	Leverages battle-tested EVM security
Optimistic Rollup Design	7-day challenge period for fraud prevention
Decentralized Validator Set	Minimum 100 active validators
Multi-layer Security	Independent verification at each protocol layer

This design achieves the security benefits of Bitcoin and Ethereum while enabling the performance needed for real-time information verification.

​

Scalability

The protocol scales through:

Scalability Mechanism	Description
Dynamic Sharding	Automatic partition of verification load
Layer 3 Support	Application-specific rollups for specialized verification
Cross-chain Bridges	Interoperability with major blockchain networks
State Channel Support	Off-chain verification for enhanced throughput
Modular Architecture	Easy integration of future scaling solutions

This enables the protocol to grow with increasing demand for trusted information verification.

The modular, multi-layer architecture combines proven blockchain technology with novel mechanisms specific to information trust. By leveraging BTC for security and fees while maintaining EVM compatibility, the protocol creates a sustainable economy around information verification while ensuring accessibility and performance.
