Waterfall Network has launched its mainnet, offering a layer-1 protocol that utilizes a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) for its foundational structure. This approach allows blocks to be organized as vertices in a directed graph, which facilitates concurrent transactions without needing a global sequencing process. The system separates into a Shard Network, utilizing hierarchical fractal sharding for scalability, and a Coordinating Network that ensures transaction consistency. By allowing independent transaction processing while maintaining a global state, Waterfall aims to overcome traditional blockchain limitations.
Waterfall Network is a layer-1 protocol that implements a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) as its foundational ledger, allowing for non-linear data structuring.
This architecture enables the ledger to evolve as a concurrent graph of interlinked blocks, rather than through a single ordered chain.
The Shard Network scales horizontally with hierarchical fractal sharding, allowing each shard to handle transactions independently while syncing to a global state.
Waterfall’s coordinating network finalizes transactions by selecting spine blocks, ensuring network-wide consistency while processing transactions in parallel.
