Introducing Supra: The Fully Vertically Integrated Layer 1 Blockchain

29 October, 2024 | Press-releases

In the evolving landscape of Web3, blockchain platforms are rapidly advancing, and at the forefront of this innovation is Supra, a fully vertically integrated Layer 1 blockchain. Supra is designed to bring together key blockchain services like oracles, randomness, automation, and cross-chain communication — all natively built into one cohesive network. This marks a new era for decentralized applications (dApps), offering developers a simpler, faster, and more secure infrastructure to build upon.

At its core, Supra aims to reduce the complexity and fragmentation developers currently face when building dApps across multiple networks. With a single, unified Layer 1 system, developers no longer need to rely on disparate services for oracles, randomness, or cross-chain functionality. Instead, all these critical services are directly integrated into the Supra blockchain, ensuring that everything operates efficiently and securely under one shared security model.

The Heart of Supra: Moonshot Consensus

One of Supra’s most groundbreaking innovations is its Moonshot consensus algorithm. Unlike traditional consensus protocols, Moonshot is formally verified, meaning its correctness and security have been mathematically proven. This gives Supra a significant edge over other blockchain networks, offering a level of security and scalability that’s rarely seen.

With Moonshot, Supra achieves near-instant finality, clocking in at up to 500,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second finality across a globally distributed network. This breakthrough in performance enables Supra to handle the intensive demands of modern decentralized applications while maintaining the security needed to safeguard those applications.

Vertical Integration: Streamlining Web3 Development

What sets Supra apart is its commitment to vertical integration. In the blockchain space, vertical integration means that all essential services — such as oracles, randomness (dVRF), automation, and cross-chain communication — are built into the Layer 1 protocol itself. Instead of relying on third-party networks or external protocols, these services are natively embedded within Supra, reducing latency, improving performance, and enhancing security.

For developers, this translates to a streamlined development experience. With Supra, they can focus on building their applications without worrying about integrating multiple services from different providers. Everything they need to build powerful, secure dApps is available right within the network, making development faster, simpler, and more cost-effective.

A Unified Experience for Developers and Users

By integrating these services natively, Supra offers a truly unified experience for both developers and users. The network’s shared security model means that all services — whether it’s oracles, cross-chain communication, or automation — benefit from the same high level of protection offered by the Moonshot consensus algorithm. This reduces the risk of vulnerabilities that can arise when using separate networks, ensuring a more secure and reliable blockchain infrastructure.

Developers can also expect improved performance across the board. Since all services are native to the Supra network, they operate far more efficiently than if they were running on different networks. This leads to faster transaction speeds, lower latency, and a better overall user experience.

Built for Innovation

With Supra, innovation is at the forefront. The network’s vertical integration allows for the creation of dApps that were previously impossible or too complex to build on fragmented networks. Whether it’s DeFi protocols, gaming platforms, or enterprise-grade applications, Supra provides the infrastructure to bring these ideas to life. Developers can leverage oracles, verifiable randomness, and cross-chain communication with ease, all while benefiting from a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain.

This seamless experience also translates into lower costs. Since Supra eliminates the need for developers to work across multiple networks, they can save both time and money, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: building innovative applications for the decentralized future.

The Future of Blockchain with Supra

As the blockchain space continues to evolve, Supra is well-positioned to lead the charge in the next phase of Web3. With its fully vertically integrated Layer 1 infrastructure, powered by the Moonshot consensus, Supra offers a new level of scalability, security, and simplicity for developers and users alike.

Whether you’re a developer looking to build the next big decentralized application or an enterprise exploring blockchain solutions, Supra provides the tools, infrastructure, and vision needed to unlock the full potential of Web3.
