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

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.
