Problem
Existing blockchain infrastructures struggle to provide the low latency and high throughput required for real-time Web3 applications, hindering user experience and limiting scalability. Traditional blockchains often face congestion and high transaction fees, making them unsuitable for applications requiring frequent, low-value interactions.
Solution
Linera addresses these limitations with a multi-chain architecture based on microchains, enabling Web3 applications to achieve real-time interactions with virtually unlimited transaction throughput. Each application operates on its own microchain, allowing for parallel processing and minimal latency. Linera wallets enhance security by replaying transactions and executing web queries instantly in a local Web Assembly (Wasm) VM, providing applications with trusted data. The platform supports first-class interoperability through proof of execution for every block and direct querying of external web services from transactions, making it suitable for multi-chain and multi-system applications.
Target Audience
Linera targets Web3 developers building decentralized applications that require high throughput, low latency, and seamless interoperability, including DeFi platforms, on-chain games, and real-time payment systems.
