The Sequencer Enabling Scalability Potential Up To 1,000,000x

Key Points:

• Madara is a sequencer designed by the StarkWare Exploration Team to realize their vision of scalable blockchain infrastructure.
• Madara enhances settlement on both fronts and takes charge of sequencing, making it an attractive option for developers looking to build on the Starknet ecosystem.

Discover Madara Starknet, the sequencer designed to revolutionize blockchain infrastructure. Appchains offer customizability and scalability potential up to 1,000,000x.

One of the key advantages of appchains is customization. General-purpose chains like Starknet and Ethereum have measures in place to ensure the network is usable by everyone, leading to a constrained environment. With appchains, developers can fine-tune various aspects of their applications and infrastructure, creating tailored solutions. This customizability also allows developers to work with currently unavailable or risky features in environments like Starknet. Appchains will offer each team the autonomy to write and authorize any desired code hints, unlocking many use cases like being able to enforce on-chain KYC without leaking private information.

Another advantage of appchains is throughput. App developers face significant challenges in terms of scalability within the existing blockchain infrastructure. Scalability encompasses two crucial aspects: high speed and low fees. By implementing a 1,000x cost reduction at each layer, developers can achieve a remarkable overall cost reduction from L1 to L3, potentially reaching up to 1,000,000x.

Madara offers the flexibility to switch between two execution crates, blockifier by StarkWare and starknet_in_rust by LambdaClass; regardless of the crate chosen, the underlying framework utilizes the Cairo VM. The Cairo language facilitates the creation of provable programs, enabling the demonstration of correct computation execution. As a Validity Rollup, a Madara appchain’s state can be reconstructed solely by examining its settlement layer.

By settling more frequently on Starknet L2, an L3 appchain can achieve faster hard finality while decentralizing the sequencing layer enables more robust soft finality. Madara takes charge of the sequencing process, which can be altered to suit the application’s needs – be it simple FCFS, PGA or more complex schemes like Narwhall & Bullshark. Certain appchains can choose to deploy encrypted mempools to ensure fair ordering and mitigate the impact of MEV.

In Madara, the Cairo VM is being enhanced by utilizing the Substrate framework and integrating the Cairo VM for executing Cairo programs and Starknet smart contracts. Meanwhile, the Substrate framework’s inherent modular nature lets developers customize the appchain with ease.

Ultimately, Madara offers developers the best of both worlds, the security of the robust L1 or L2 blockchains on which they are built and the flexibility to fine-tune aspects of the chains to suit their applications’ needs. With Madara, developers can bring their unique blockchain vision to life and unlock a world of possibilities for experimentation in the Starknet ecosystem.
