Supra Redefines the Layer-2 Debate with “Supra Containers” – Is This the End of L2s?

Zug, Switzerland, October 9th, 2024, Chainwire

Supra, the 500k TPS Layer-1 blockchain with MultiVM compatibility for MoveVM and EVM dApps, unveils Supra Containers, a game-changing solution that may well eliminate the need for Layer-2s (L2), Layer-3s (L3), and AppChains. Supra Containers offer builders the freedom of dedicated L2s and AppChains without the high infrastructure costs, fragmented liquidity, or complex security issues, marking the beginning of a new era for dApps and on-chain development. 

Navigating the L2 Maze: Liquidity, Composability, and Security

Builders have turned to L2s and L3s to overcome congestion and scalability bottlenecks they faced on Layer-1s. However, they soon ran into their own set of problems: fragmented liquidity, broken composability, and the need to bootstrap network security. Supra Containers eliminate these barriers by providing developers with the ability to create dedicated execution space for their dApps (DappSpace) that leverage the full power of Supra’s high-performance Layer-1.

Supra Containers: Access Seamless Composability and Shared Liquidity

Supra Containers offer the flexibility of L2s — such as dedicated compute or execution space, customizable governance, and freedom to create your own token economies — without the downsides. Builders no longer need to spend time and resources bootstrapping network security, validators, or complex bridging systems. Supra’s L1 node network secures every Container, ensuring that developers can focus entirely on building innovative dApps, not infrastructure.

Supra Containers are fully composable and integrate seamlessly with Supra’s ecosystem and other Containers, preserving atomic smart contract transactions thus allowing dApps to interact effortlessly. Unlike L2s, where fractured liquidity becomes a big demerit, Supra Containers can share liquidity across the entire Supra L1 network — ensuring smooth operations and access to a unified pool of assets.

Built-In Services and MultiVM Ecosystem Compatibility

Supra Containers also come with an in-built, vertically integrated stack of critical blockchain services such as oracle price feeds, onchain verifiable randomness, cross-chain communication, and automation, which Supra L1 natively offers. In contrast to L2 appchains, where oracle and bridge integrations can be costly and complex, Containers provide these features natively, cutting down on costs otherwise spent on integrating these external infrastructures. 

Supra is also MultiVM compatible, which means that developers from ecosystems such as MoveVM, EVM, and soon SolanaVM will be able to immediately deploy dApps on their own Supra Containers without the need for complex migrations. This flexibility allows developers from other ecosystems to tap into the 500k TPS throughput and sub-second consensus latency of Supra Layer-1 — ushering in a new generation of scalable, efficient, and interoperable dApps and Containers.

Every Supra Container Can Be an Entire Ecosystem

The potential for Supra Containers extends far beyond individual dApps. Developers can even build entire ecosystems within their custom environment, deploying multiple dApps and smart contracts within their Container. They can also attract other projects to deploy within their infrastructure. For example, a gaming studio can launch a Container as an ecosystem of decentralized games with unique token incentives, all the while benefiting from Supra’s shared security and liquidity. They could even gate their Container using their own onchain passes or NFTs, and use the same utility token across multiple games in their Container ecosystem, or even in other Containers.

Joshua Tobkin, CEO of Supra, explains: “With Supra Containers, we’re not just simplifying dApp development — this might eliminate most needs for L2s and AppChains altogether. Developers now have the freedom to launch their own ecosystems with full control over governance and token economies, while enjoying the security, composability, and shared liquidity of Supra’s Layer-1 infrastructure.”

Supra Containers are a paradigm shift, offering developers a faster, cheaper, and more efficient way to build powerful dApps and their own custom economies. By providing dedicated execution space, customizable governance, and tokens — without the trade-offs of traditional AppChains — Supra is transforming the way blockchain applications are developed.

About Supra

Supra is a high-throughput Blockchain with vertically integrated native oracle price feeds, onchain randomness, cross-chain communications, and automation. They’ve also introduced Containers, offering developers dedicated customizable DappSpace on Supra L1. With access to 500k TPS throughput and sub-second consensus latency of Supra, Containers bring the sovereignty benefits of AppChains and L2s together with the security, composability, and shared liquidity of Supra’s next-gen Layer-1 blockchain.

Developers can create, scale, and customize their dApps on Supra Containers — all without needing external services or validators. Supra is also MultiVM compatible (MoveVM and EVM, SolanaVM coming soon), enabling builders from all ecosystems to build a new generation of highly scalable, composable, and interoperable Containers and Super dApps.
