Overview

Unit Zero is a high-performance network built on the Waves blockchain that:

• Offers enhanced scalability, security, and decentralization.

• Features an innovative architecture connecting chains within its ecosystem.

Core Features

• EVM Compatibility: Swift dApp deployment within the Unit Zero network.

• High Performance & Scalability: LPoS consensus ensuring streamlined transaction processing.

• Decentralized Governance: Community-driven decision-making for network management.

• Unit0 Incentives: Rewards for block generation, governance, and ecosystem-enhancing projects.

• Interoperability: Future-proof integration with other blockchains.

Workflow Breakdown

The Unit Zero network consists of a chain of interconnected nodes.

NOTE: A subset of Waves Layer-0 nodes is also leveraged in Unit Zero Layer-1 network.

The Chain Contract maintains consensus within the Layer-1 network with:

• Generator Commitment: Generators commit to participating in Layer-1 block production.

• Epoch Management: Each Layer-0 block corresponds to a Layer-1 epoch.

  

  Layer-1 Epoch
• Fair PoS Algorithm: The mechanism:

  • Computes delays for Layer-1 block generation.

  • Defines block creation eligibility.

• Block creation: Chosen generators:

  • Package transactions into Layer-1 blocks.

  • Sign them.

  • Record block metadata on Layer-0.

• Fork Resolution: Prioritization of the chain of generators controlling over 50% of the Layer-1 generating balance.

NOTE: Refer to the Extended Consensus White Paper for detailed insights into the protocol.
