Solidus Network

High-Performance Multi-Chain Perpetuals Exchange

A 16-chain hierarchical blockchain merging DAGKNIGHT consensus with POEM (Proof of Entropy Merge) mining into a multi-algorithm, multi-chain architecture. Solidus targets Hyperliquid-class performance on a fully decentralized, open-source blockchain — with an integrated on-chain perpetuals engine, sub-second order matching, and four mining algorithms ensuring fair participation from ASIC miners to mobile devices.

At a Glance

DAGKNIGHT parameterless confirmation — ~100ms finality via cascade voting
POEM mining — entropy-based block ordering enabling 4 algorithms to coexist without competition
16 parallel chains: 1 Prime, 3 Regions, 12 Zones (4 algorithms x 3 regions)
SHA-256 (ASIC), ProgPoW (GPU), RandomX-S (CPU), Panthera (Mobile) — no cross-class competition
ForumCore perps engine — on-chain order matching with high-throughput performance targets
Open-source Hyperliquid alternative with non-custodial, trustless asset security

16-Chain Hierarchical Architecture

DAGKNIGHT consensus at the zone level for ultra-fast throughput. Region and Prime chains use POEM entropic block ordering for coordination and global finality. Four mining algorithms ensure every hardware class participates without cross-class competition.

Core Technology

DAGKNIGHTParameterless Confirmation
Cascade voting — each block transitively confirms all ancestors
Sub-second confirmation latency targeting Hyperliquid-class performance
Sits on top of GHOSTDAG block ordering — complementary, not a replacement
Optimized confirmation tracking for high-throughput DAG consensus
POEMProof of Entropy Merge
Entropy-based ordering that works on any hash algorithm
Hierarchical block emergence — blocks naturally propagate through the chain hierarchy
Coincident blocks emerge naturally — never separately mined
Each zone has independent difficulty — no cross-algorithm competition
FORUMCOREOn-Chain Perps Engine
Native implementation — bypasses EVM overhead for exchange-grade performance
Continuous limit order book (CLOB) with on-chain matching
Full EVM composability for DeFi integration
High-throughput target with cross-margin and multi-collateral support
ETXCross-Shard Coordination
Cross-shard transactions route through the hierarchy with cryptographic confirmation at each level
Dedicated coordination layer routes transactions across shard boundaries
Coincident blocks establish synchronization points for cross-shard confirmation
Non-custodial asset security with on-chain state proofs (CoreAttest — planned)
