Key features

Explore how does Midgard ensure high transaction throughput while maintaining the robust security and decentralization of Cardano L1

Optimistic Rollup

Midgard uses optimistic rollup technology, which assumes transactions are valid by default and only checks them if a fraud proof is submitted. This reduces the computational load on the main blockchain and improves overall efficiency.

Robust Validator Management

The protocol includes a comprehensive validator management system where validators post bonds to ensure honest behavior. Fraud proofs submitted by challengers help maintain the integrity of the system.

Efficient State Management

Midgard employs smart contracts to manage state transitions and utilizes Merkle roots for compact and efficient proof submissions.

Fraud Proof Mechanism

A sophisticated challenge-response mechanism allows any participant to submit fraud proofs if they detect invalid state transitions, ensuring the security and correctness of the off-chain computations.

How It Works

We prioritize meaningful impact and collaboration.

Transaction Processing

Transactions are initially processed off-chain by validators, who then submit state updates to the L1 State Validator contract on Cardano.

State Commitments

Validators regularly publish state commitments that include the current state, incoming transactions, and the next state, represented in a compact form using Merkle roots.

Fraud Proofs

During a designated challenge period, any participant can contest the validity of state updates by submitting fraud proofs. These proofs demonstrate the invalidity of a state transition, ensuring that any fraudulent activity is quickly identified and rectified.

Economic Incentives

Validators are incentivized to behave honestly through a bonding mechanism, while challengers who successfully submit fraud proofs are rewarded.

Benefits of Midgard L2

Explore how will  Cardano ecosystem benefit from Midgard.

Scalability

By offloading transaction processing to Layer 2, Midgard significantly increases the throughput of the Cardano network, making it capable of handling a high volume of transactions.

Security

The use of fraud proofs and economic incentives ensures that the system remains secure and that any invalid transactions are swiftly dealt with.

Efficiency

The protocol is designed to be highly efficient, with minimal overhead on the Cardano blockchain, ensuring low transaction costs and fast processing times.
