Meter launches Supernova Core to promote Cosmos blockchain development

Meter, a Layer-1 (L1) blockchain identified for its work in consensus and cross-chain infrastructure, has unveiled Supernova Core, a brand new open-source consensus framework suitable with the Cosmos (ATOM) supply growth package (SDK), as reported to Finbold on Thursday, January 16.

Supernova Core will tackle efficiency and scalability points related to CometBFT whereas selling decentralization throughout the Cosmos ecosystem.

On the core of the framework is the HotStuff consensus protocol and Boneh-Lynn-Shacham (BLS) signature aggregation, which permits blockchain builders to leverage new options with out abandoning already established frameworks.

The core has been examined on the Meter mainnet, which helps a community of greater than 300 validators and manages practically eight million day by day transactions.

Troubleshoot points with the Cosmos SDK

Cosmos SDK-based blockchains face ongoing scaling challenges, for instance bottlenecks attributable to the rising variety of validators.

In flip, the bottleneck limits throughput, whereas restricted help for Ethereum (ETH) Digital Machine (EVM) performance limits cross-chain collaboration.

Supernova Core addresses these points head-on by providing an optimized communications layer, improved messaging effectivity and full EVM compatibility.

Highlighting the transformative potential of Supernova Core, Xiaohan Zhu, co-founder of Meter, mentioned:

“With Supernova Core, we’re empowering the neighborhood to beat the restrictions of present Cosmos SDK consensus mechanisms. By introducing improvements similar to BLS signature aggregation, a extra environment friendly community communications layer and the newest developments in consensus protocols, Supernova Core allows builders to achieve new heights of scalability and efficiency.”

Compatibility of meter EVM

Supernova Core is designed to cut back communication overhead and allow networks to scale past 150 validators.

The layered peer-to-peer (P2P) community structure ensures environment friendly message supply, whereas the HotStuff-based consensus mechanism ensures quick transactions and linear scalability of the communication overhead.

The framework’s structure additionally separates transaction ordering from state processing to allow superior Layer-2 options and promote censorship resistance.

Future updates will embody parallel EVM execution capabilities and an optimized database tailor-made to Ethereum-inspired key-value entry patterns.
