Arcology Network is revolutionizing Ethereum Layer 2 solutions with
the first-ever EVM-equivalent, multithreaded rollup—offering
unparalleled performance and efficiency for developers building the
next generation of decentralized applications.
With a cutting-edge parallel transaction execution engine and
optimized storage, Arcology enables the development of complex,
resource-intensive applications that were once too complex or
costly to run on-chain. Arcology is a blockchain for extreme
resource intensive applications. Key Features:
o EVM Equivalenceo Parallel Transaction Processingo 1.5-Second
Block Timeo 10,000 to 15,000 TPSo 1.5 Billion Block Gas Limito No
Fee Spikes, Even Under Heavy Load o MEV-Resistant by Design
The Challenge: Scaling Ethereum Rollups
As Ethereum shifts toward a rollup-centric ecosystem,
scalability challenges persist. Current Layer 2 (L2) rollups
inherit Ethereum Layer 1's single-threaded design, which severely
limits performance. As on- chain activity grows, network congestion
increases, leading to significant fee spikes. In some cases,
transaction fees surpass the value of the transactions themselves,
rendering using certain applications economically unfeasible.
Ethereum also faces increasing competition from high-performance
Layer 1 blockchains Solana, which offer greater throughput and
lower fees, attracting developers and users looking for more
scalable and cost-effective alternatives to Ethereum L2s.
Arcology: Parallel L2 offering High Throughput, Low Fees
Arcology addresses Ethereum's scalability challenges by
introducing parallel execution to Layer 2, setting a new standard
for throughput and cost efficiency. Compared to existing L2
frameworks such as Optimism (OP) and Arbitrum, which still inherit
Ethereum's single-threaded design, Arcology's multithreaded rollup
delivers unmatched performance while avoiding fee spikes.
By leveraging parallel transaction execution and optimized
storage, Arcology offers a stable, low-cost environment that
supports complex, resource-intensive applications, even under heavy
workloads.
Comparisons: Arbitrum, Optimism, and Solana
Other L2s, such as Optimism and Arbitrum, inherit Ethereum’s
single-threaded design with a target gas limit of 5 to 10 million,
which translates to only a few hundred TPS, limiting their
scalability. In contrast, Arcology’s multithreaded system supports
10,000 to 15,000 TPS and a 1.5 billion block gas limit, delivering
significantly higher throughput without fee spikes, even under
heavy load.
While Solana offers better performance, it requires developers
to move away from the Ethereum ecosystem. Arcology, however,
maintains EVM equivalence, allowing developers to build with
familiar tools while benefiting from parallel execution and
superior scalability.
Real-World Impact
Arcology opens the door for groundbreaking applications in
industries such as gaming, finance, and decentralized social
networks, where fast, low-cost transactions are critical. This
allows developers to create dApps that demand high computational
power without being constrained by high fees or slow execution
times.
How does Arcology work?
The original Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) processes
transactions one at a time. Arcology extends this architecture to
enable parallel transaction processing while maintaining 100% EVM
equivalence.
Parallel execution significantly enhances performance but
introduces extra technical challenges such as data integrity when
multiple transactions access the same data simultaneously. Arcology
addresses this with optimistic concurrency control, protecting data
while maximizing performance.
However, optimistic concurrency control is sensitive to
transaction conflicts, which can reduce throughput. To mitigate
this, Arcology offers a Solidity library that helps eliminate
contention in contract code, allowing developers to fully leverage
the benefits of parallel processing.
Arcology’s parallel execution system isn’t the only enhancement.
Ethereum's original storage design limits scalability, but Arcology
implements a parallel database that handles the increased workload
of parallel execution.
Ecosystem & Developers
Arcology’s mainnet is expected to launch by Jun 2025. The
network invites developers to explore its groundbreaking
capabilities and contribute to the next generation of decentralized
applications. Early participants will have opportunities to be
rewarded through future incentivization programs, designed to
encourage the development of high-performance, resource-intensive
applications on the network.
