Swisstronik: Combining Ethereum Compatibility with Cosmos SDK
Swisstronik is an innovative blockchain solution built on the Cosmos SDK framework, aiming to combine the best of both worlds: the versatility of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and the robust infrastructure of the Cosmos SDK. This unique blend offers several benefits, including scalability, interoperability, and enhanced security.
Why Cosmos SDK
The Cosmos SDK serves as the backbone of Swisstronik, providing crucial elements for the consensus and networking layers of the blockchain. Here’s why Cosmos SDK is essential:
- Scalability: With the Cosmos SDK, developers can fine-tune specific components of their blockchain applications. This allows Swisstronik to efficiently manage increasing transaction volumes without sacrificing performance or security.
- Interoperability: Cosmos SDK supports Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC), which enables seamless integration of functionalities and smart contracts across different blockchains. This opens up new possibilities for decentralized applications (dApps) to collaborate and interact, significantly expanding their potential. Swisstronik plans to implement IBC in its Testnet 2.0.
- Security: The Cosmos SDK incorporates the Tendermint consensus algorithm, a proven mechanism that ensures transactions and data on the Swisstronik blockchain are validated by a network of trusted validators. This adds a layer of security to the platform.
EVM-Module Integration
At the application layer, Swisstronik integrates an EVM-Module. This module allows developers to use the Ethereum Virtual Machine, leveraging tools like Hardhat, Solidity, EthersJS, and Web3.js. This means you can write smart contracts and build dApps on Swisstronik using the same tools and languages familiar from Ethereum. Additionally, it facilitates the migration of existing Ethereum smart contracts to Swisstronik, promoting code reusability and simplifying the development process.
Private EVM Execution with Intel SGX
One standout feature of Swisstronik is the ability to execute EVM contracts privately using Intel SGX technology. This ensures that sensitive data within smart contracts is securely processed, adding an extra layer of privacy for users and developers alike.
In summary, Swisstronik is an advanced blockchain solution that merges the flexibility of Ethereum with the powerful capabilities of the Cosmos SDK. This combination provides a scalable, secure, and interoperable platform for developing next-generation decentralized applications.
About Swisstronik
Swisstronik network is a layer one solution that is built using the Cosmos SDK and leverages Proof-of-stake (PoS) using Tendermint’s Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus algorithms. Every node in the network performs computations for verifiability, security, and consensus purposes. As a layer one solution, Swisstronik is an independent chain interoperable with many networks thanks to the Cosmos Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC).
