Solana Optimistic Network
Solana Optimistic Network, better known as SOON, is a highly efficient roll-up stack designed to deliver top-tier performance across all Layer 1 blockchains. Built on the OP Stack, SOON leverages the advanced capabilities of the Decoupled Solana Virtual Machine for unmatched speed and scalability. It aims to bring the efficiency of Solana’s execution environment to a broader range of L1 blockchains, enhancing performance and enabling scalable rollup architectures through its Decoupled SVM. SOON provides tools and infrastructure to enhance the scalability, interoperability, and security of decentralized finance and other blockchain-based systems.
ABOUT SOON
Recently, SOON has raised a co-builder funding round backed by prominent figures in the blockchain space.
The round, which focuses on contributions from industry builders rather than venture capital firms, aims to support SOON’s development of its flagship products, SOON Stack and SOON Mainnet.
Participants include executives from Solana Foundation, Solana Labs, Coinbase Ventures, Celestia and Avail.
SOON PRODUCTS
SOON Mainnet.
The SOON Mainnet is the native blockchain of the SOON ecosystem, built on top of Ethereum L1. It aims to leverage Ethereum’s security while maximizing throughput and efficiency through the SOON architecture.
SOON Stack.
The SOON Stack is a comprehensive suite of tools and components that enables the deployment of an SVM-based Layer 2 rollup on any L1 blockchain.
SOON FEATURES
Network of SVMs.
SOON chains deployed across different Layer 1 blockchains benefit from a unified bridging and messaging interface, thanks to the consistent use of SVM.
High-Performance Parallel Processing.
SOON utilizes a Decoupled SVM for its execution layer, a key innovation that separates execution from consensus.
Decoupled SVM.
The Decoupled SVM framework reduces data availability demands, enhancing network security and minimizing waste.
Configurable Data Availability.
Through the SOON Stack, users can select from various data availability (DA) layers, including Celestia, EigenDA, and Avail.
Enhanced User Experience.
Leveraging SVM’s low-latency processing and Solana’s local fee markets, SOON ensures a superior decentralized application (dApp) experience.
Permissionless Fraud Proofs.
SOON integrates the OP Stack’s decentralized fault proof system, allowing any user to submit a fraud proof on Layer 1 to challenge the state of the SOON Layer 2.
