Artela Blockchain is a Layer 1 network designed to enhance developer capabilities by allowing the integration of user-defined native extensions and the development of feature-rich decentralized applications (dApps). The platform offers advanced extensibility beyond EVM-equivalence, inter-domain interoperability, and boundless scalability through its innovative Elastic Block Space design.

Key Features

1. Extensibility: Goes beyond EVM-equivalence, allowing for native blockchain base layer extensions.

2. Composability: Fully customizable and compatible with diverse modular stacks while ensuring native interoperability within the network.

3. Scalability: Utilizes an elastic block space design to support numerous large-scale dApps, eliminating the trade-off between shared security and scalability performance.

Architecture Overview

Base Layer: This fundamental layer, launched by Artela, includes essential functionalities such as a consensus engine, networking capabilities, EVM environments for executing smart contracts, and WASM environments for executing Aspects. It forms the network's core infrastructure.

Extension Layer: Equipped with the Aspect SDK, this layer allows developers to create Aspects that can access all APIs within the base layer. Aspects integrate seamlessly with smart contracts and other Aspects while being securely isolated to protect the core network’s security and availability.

Application Layer: Developers can craft smart contracts using familiar tools, with an initial provision of an EVM to facilitate the adoption and integration of existing dApps in the crypto ecosystem.

Core Characteristics

• Boundless Extensibility: Enables native extension of the blockchain base layer, surpassing EVM-equivalence.

• Boundless Composability: Customizable and compatible with heterogeneous modular stacks, maintaining native interoperability.

• Boundless Scalability: Supports large-scale dApps through elastic block space design, ensuring scalability without compromising shared security.

Scale-out Design

Artela's scale-out architecture addresses the specific needs of the network, providing dApps with enhanced extensibility and expandable block space while ensuring native composability with other network dApps. Dynamic scalability is achieved through:

• Parallel Execution: Transactions can be processed concurrently, grouped for parallel processing based on dependency conflict analysis.

• Elastic Computing: Validator nodes can scale horizontally. The network dynamically adjusts validator computation nodes based on current demand, managed by an elastic protocol to maintain an adequate number of nodes within the consensus network.

• Elastic Block Space: The network expands public block space and allows large-scale dApps to request dedicated elastic block spaces, ensuring tailored scalability solutions.

Artela Blockchain aims to be a boundless blockchain network, providing unparalleled extensibility, composability, and scalability to support a wide array of dApps and developer innovations.
