Architecture Overview

RibbleChain is a modular Layer 1 blockchain designed to support Layer 3 (L3) rollups, combining high-performance execution, robust consensus, and scalable data availability. This section outlines RibbleChain's architecture and its core components.

Core Components​

  1. Execution Layer (EVM++):

    • An enhanced Ethereum Virtual Machine with parallel execution for high transaction throughput.
    • Supports Solidity smart contracts and batch transactions (inspired by EIP-4844 blobs).
    • Compatible with custom VMs (e.g., MoveVM, ZKVM) for L3 rollups.

  2. Consensus Layer:

    • Proof-of-Stake (PoS) with single-slot finality for rapid transaction confirmation.
    • Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) to mitigate Miner Extractable Value (MEV).
    • Inclusion lists and private transactions for fairness and privacy.

  3. Data Availability (DA) Layer:

    • Integrates with external DA solutions (Celestia, EigenDA) or provides native DA for L3 rollups.
    • Ensures cost-efficient and reliable data storage for rollup transactions.

  4. Settlement Layer:

    • Finalizes transactions from L3 rollups, ensuring security and immutability.
    • Provides a unified settlement framework for multi-chain ecosystems.

  5. Infrastructure Layer:

    • Sequencer-as-a-Service: Enables L3 rollups to deploy custom sequencers.
    • Rollup SDK: Tools for developers to build and deploy L3 rollups.
    • Native Bridge: Supports cross-chain messaging (LayerZero, IBC).
    • Account Abstraction Engine: Native support for ERC-4337 smart wallets.

Layer 3 Rollups​

L3 rollups are application-specific chains tailored for use cases like GameFi, DeFi, or SocialFi. Each L3 rollup:

  • Runs on a custom sequencer, leveraging RibbleChain's L1 for settlement and DA.
  • Supports flexible VM configurations (EVM, ZKVM, MoveVM).
  • Integrates with RibbleChain's native bridge for cross-chain interactions.
