Roadmap Spotlight #1: BYOC Token Onboarding Framework

Roadmap Spotlight #1: BYOC Token Onboarding Framework

One of Partisia Blockchain’s core values is in collaboration. Our belief is that one of the main paths to advancing the further adoption of the blockchain industry is through working together. And this belief is built into our blockchain architecture.

As mentioned in our interoperability article, the current blockchain ecosystem is kind of like going to an amusement park. You can play in an ecosystem but only if you pay using their native token.

Partisia Blockchain’s payment mechanism broke away from this paradigm and designed a tokenomics that uses other chains tokens. We started off with Ethereum, then added Polygon USDC, and then integrated BNB into the chain. Now, we are bringing the ability to onboarding tokens to the community.

With the new Ethereum BYOC Framework, we are enabling the ability for any community developer to submit a proposal to onboard a ERC20 or a BEP20 token of their choice that is running on the respective chains into the Partisia Blockchain bridge. This brings the control of adding a token into the Partisia Blockchain to the public.

How it works:

  • In order for the bridge to work between chains, you must have a contract in the Ethereum or BNB chain network as well as on the Partisia Blockchain network. We provide a template for anyone to tweak and submit a proposal to add the coin of their choice. Then you submit the proposal into the Partisia Blockchain.
  • This proposal will go to a vote to our node operator committee. The committee then has 7 days to review the proposal and either accept or reject the proposal.
  • If it is accepted, the contract will go live and the token will become available as an asset in the network.

By enabling this important roadmap item, we bring the control of onboarding any new Eth or BNB based asset into our unique bridge to not only be used as a swappable tokens, but allow it to be usable as gas for transacting in the Partisia Blockchain network. Whether you are a dApp that wants to add privacy services into your existing application, or create a unique DeFi solution on Partisia Blockchain that allows for swift easy swaps between assets while preventing front running and sandwich attacks through MPC, all of the value proposition that Partisia Blockchain offers is now available to any system running in the Etherium, Polygon or BNB chains.

Please look out for this feature being launched sometime in the 3rd/4th quarter.

Partisia Blockchain’s Complete Sharding

Partisia Blockchain’s Complete Sharding

Scalability has been something that architects have been grappling with for many years. In the technology space, being able to scale both vertically (adding capacity) and horizontally (adding instances) has been grappled with in all parts of the technology stack. Do you add more transistors in a CPU or add cores to work together? Do you add more space in a hard drive or add multiple hard drives to work together? Do you build a faster computer, or create a software architecture to use multiple computers in sync?

One thing is for certain however. Scaling vertically has limits. There is only so much CPU, memory, storage you can add to a single system before it runs out of capacity.

Blockchain space is no exception. As adoption grows, so must the ability for a blockchain to handle the additional transaction on chain as a result. And in the blockchain space, we call it TPS (transactions per second) This is a combination of two metrics;

  • Time it takes for a block to be finalized and appended to the chain
  • Number of transactions in a block

Different blockchains use different architectures to try and achieve faster throughput. For finalization, there are things like probabilistic and deterministic finalization. To achieve a higher number of transactions, blockchains have turned to sharding, and added on different rollup technologies like ZK or optimistic roll ups.

What makes Partisia Blockchain different?

To create the fastest blockchain, you have to first look at what can theoretically be achieved for the above two factors. For the finalization time, the fastest is instant. As soon as the block is created, you want it to be finalized as fast as possible. For the number of transactions in a block, you want to be able to put the number of transactions in a blockchain can handle to be as much as possible. The more transactions you can process at the same time, the faster your chain will be. And all of this needs to be done in a secure manner. So how does Partisia Blockchain handle these two challenges?

PBC’s “Speed of light” finalization

For finalization, PBC has implemented a unique consensus model that consists of three parts.

  • Proof-of-Verification (PoV): Ensure that the signed blocks came from validators who actually executed all transactions included in the new blocks. In other words, a PoV is a guarantee that a validator personally verified the content of a block.
  • FastTrack consensus: A rapid consensus process with pure finalization.
  • An incentive scheme that incentivizes propagation and connectivity in the P2P network.

This unique finalization model allows for blocks to be created and finalized in real time with the only limit being the time it takes for the verification signatures to propagate throughout the network. (More info in PBC’s yellow paper section 3.1)

PBC’s “complete sharding”

While the term “sharding” has been popularized by blockchain, its actually a term that was coined back in the 1990s, by an online video game company, of all places. During the initial popularization of MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing games) the company building the game Ultima Online ran into a scalability problem. To solve the problem of scaling out huge worlds for hundreds of thousands of users to interact with, they came up with a database scaling architecture and coined it “Sharding” This sharding architecture caught on and is now actively being used by many different database products, including MySQL, Oracle DB and MSSQL.

Blockchain has borrowed the term but if you look at the general architecture of most blockchains, it does not conform to the general principles of what sharding really means. In blockchain sharding, while blocks may get created in parallel, it still gets appended to the end of a single chain.

Through “speed of light” finalization we tackled the issue of creating finalization instantly. For the transaction per block issue, we looked to architect the sharding model according to the definition of what sharding really is; True parallel processing of data.

Just like how it is in traditional databases, in Partisia Blockchain, each shard is an independent blockchain. And each shard ,or blockchain, is capable of independently creating, validating and confirming a block. This architecture goes back to the original definition of what a shard is and allows for true parallel processing of blocks. And in the event congestion is detected, the system automatically creates a new shard adding additional capacity dynamically. Through this dynamic scalability architecture, Partisia Blockchain can theoretically scale infinitely, only limited by the number of nodes in the blockchain.

By creating a programming language that allows for developers to use MPC in a generic way, Partisia Blockchain Foundation has made the creation of applications that can harness the power of MPC for different use cases a possibility. Partisia has been at the forefront of providing private MPC solutions since 2008. And by layering this technology on top of an interoperable and scalable blockchain, Partisia Blockchain is paving the way for anyone to create blockchain solutions that can balance privacy and transparency to build trust and ensure integrity.

Monadi — The Blockchain Validated Platform for Sustainability Data Management and Reporting for CSRD Compliance

Monadi — The Blockchain Validated Platform for Sustainability Data Management and Reporting for CSRD Compliance

Guest blog by Vilma Catani and Radu Pavel, Co-founders of Monadi.

Monadi is a platform for managing sustainability data and reporting in compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This EU-imposed regulation mandates companies to disclose information regarding their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) impacts. With the CSRD set to come into effect in 2024, approximately 50,000 companies in the European Union will be obligated to report their ESG data. Monadi aims to simplify and streamline this process while also leveraging the business opportunities it presents.

Sustainability reporting requires management of a vast amount of data, which is a complex task. Firstly, sustainability data is often scattered throughout various departments and external sources within an organisation. Monadi aims to consolidate all of this data into a unified platform. Secondly, the timeline for achieving sustainability goals can extend for several decades, even as far as 2050. We want to be the go-to solution for managing both short-term and long-term sustainability goals.

Monadi has chosen Partisia Blockchain to help ensure safe, credible, and transparent management of data, enabling comparable results across organisations. Leveraging systems like Multi Party Computing and Zero-Knowledge proofs, Partisia Blockchain offers solutions for data transparency, credibility, and encryption. Given the sensitivity of sustainability data, many companies are reluctant to share it. However, the highly secure solutions offered by Partisia Blockchain provide a game-changing approach for ensuring data protection and privacy.

The Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is expected to be released by the end of this summer, offering the public access to the first use case: “Male-female pay gap” which adheres to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards and utilises Partisia’s Multi Party Computing (MPC) capabilities to privately collect and calculate the pay gap data between genders within the organisations, which is then added on-chain. The platform also provides dashboards and other features to monitor progress and generate reports ready for CSRD reporting.

In summary, Monadi is an innovative platform for management and reporting of sustainability data for companies operating under the CSRD. By leveraging Partisia Blockchain’s technologies and ensuring data privacy, Monadi offers a solution that simplifies compliance and empowers organisations to progress towards their sustainability goals.

Muwpay — the ultimate “smart wallet” experience on Web3

Muwpay — the ultimate “smart wallet” experience on Web3

Guest blog by Dhruv Malik, Sr Smart Contract Engineer and Gael Bokongo CEO and Co-founder at Muwpay.

Muwpay, founded by an educated and innovation-driven team, is on a mission to dissolve the barriers of cross-chain universes by designing a flexible, interoperable user experience. The team has been developing their pioneering protocol called MUWP (Multi Underlying Wrapped Payment), a multi-token protocol adaptable to a variety of formats such as smart wallets, smart widgets, or SDK.

We are privileged to be trusted by Partisia Blockchain, one of the key players in the blockchain space known for secure and private computation services. This partnership has led to the creation of a smart wallet specific to the Partisia community. Thanks to the technical support and global vision of the Partisia Blockchain Foundation, a secure environment has been established where users can experience cutting-edge solutions. This collaborative approach holds vast potential for the future.

We were thrilled to be interviewed by the Partisia Blockchain team to explain our journey so far on our first partnership with such a significant figure in the blockchain industry. Check it out here.

Muwpay is developing the smart wallet and cross-DEXliquidity aggregator protocol with the aim of:

  • Add tokens from multiple wallets in a few clicks.
  • Reducing the burden of relying on multiple bridges and DEX aggregators to manually do the transfers.
  • Providing best price and low slippage trades by making the on-chain orderbook resistant to front-running.
  • Ensuring that your funds do not get exploited by keeping features such as transferring limited allowance tokens, possibility to revert tokens.
  • Support for both hardware and software wallets.
  • Being able to search other wallets using ENS like naming service.

Thus, we provide full end-to-end wallet as a service for Partisia ecosystem

This will be the cross-native wallet that works as follows:

  1. Create your account on Partisia using an external hard wallet and soon from a traditional Web2 account
  2. Create smart account (on-chain smart contract wallet working similarly in terms of multi-sig)
  3. Integrate various wallets and their tokens that you want to use in order to pay other accounts
  4. Define the destination address that you want to pay the amount along with the destination token address and the constraints (maximum percentage of slippage, minimum amount out etc.)
  5. Click on transfer (aka Muwped)

And then see the benefits of paying instantaneously in stablecoins using multiple denominations and low slippage.

For us, Partisia Blockchain ecosystem’s main characteristics were critical to launching our project on this ecosystem, services such as:

  1. Bring Your Own Coin using Hermez Bridge: this allows wallets to reduce the challenge of onboarding collateral tokens from the Ethereum ecosystem. All of the tokens will be represented as 1:1 wrapped versions of the underlying asset, which can be transferred P2P between the wallets, and then redeemed into the original amount. Thus. bringing significant adoption.
  2. ZK MPC compute and possibility for segmenting public and private parameters in contracts: This has been of significant help in developing contracts that keep certain computations private (like computation of gas fees and transaction ordering in the order book), but allowing possibility to generate the proofs regarding the nature of data. This helps us to resolve the issues regarding front-running, keeping information about the users sub wallets private, etc.
  3. Dynamic scalability of producing shards: helps to significantly scale our capacity of our transactions and not being usually blocked due to the bottlenecks introduced due to the periods of intense usage, and, thus, providing more stability.
  4. Having decentralized consensus of oracles to insure safety from malicious price and providing high availability of the pricing feeds for the mainnet tokens.

MUWP offers extensive benefits for crypto holders. It streamlines the conversion of tokens, reduces operational risks through secure and private computation services, and decreases gas fees by enabling any token for payment. The shards feature also improves transaction throughput. As such, MUWP enhances the overall cryptocurrency user experience, taking it a notch higher.

Thus, we have been progressing to build the smart contract protocol layer and also the mobile wallet, and are poised to release the beta test version around July. Feel free to follow the website muwpay.com for more information.

Overall, the partnership between Muwpay and Partisia Blockchain, and the innovations they are set to introduce, demonstrates a clear vision for a more efficient, secure, and user-friendly future in the world of blockchain technology.
