As a consequence of the approved HydraGon L1 project, I am excited to share with you project “Prometheus”.
This is a special project which focuses on enabling HydraGon to have infinite scaling as a L1 public blockchain.
A novel approach that showcases the ambition behind the long-term vision of Hydra.
In the concept, horizontal scaling is aimed which could put it in the top position of the highest performance ecosystems.
With this design, Hydra would be capable of reaching infinite scalability without sacrificing decentralization, all while remaining an L1 protocol.
Make sure to read the Project “Prometheus” whitepaper →
The concept is in an early phase and we’ve conducted preliminary feasibility study. Generally, we wouldn’t be feeling comfortable sharing this with our community at this stage, but following the request from the community to be more involved, I am sharing the model for peer reviewing. The work on this project has been going for several months.
Please keep in mind that the design is extremely innovative and may be subject to some modification as we progress with the research.
This concept should come as a soft-proposal for a preliminary discussion. For the time being, the funding will be covered by LockTrip and will not incur any charges. It is tightly related to HydraGon L1 as the underlying consensus has unique characteristics that unlock the model.
A lot of HydraGon’s features were designed to empower the design of Prometheus and to create a unique system that would resolve the challenges with scalability.
HydraGon allows us the freedom to create and build on top, and the “Prometheus” sharding project is the ultimate goal that comes after a potentially successful deployment of the new EVM L1 chain.
This proposal seeks approval on the following items:
-
To acknowledge Promotheus as a worthy project to be explored further, refining the design and continuing research on it
-
To approve the general philosophy and direction of the concept
-
Using Promotheus for marketing purposes and positioning it as part of the vision of Hydra chain
