Slinky Parallax PoS Chain

The Slinky Parallax is a scalable Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that offers full compatibility and interoperability with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It is a parallelized EVM-compatible chain, designed to optimize execution and enhance scalability. Built using the Cosmos SDK, Slinky Hyperloop operates on the Tendermint Core consensus engine. This architecture achieves rapid finality, high transaction throughput, and short block times (~5 seconds).

This setup enables users to conduct transactions in both Cosmos and EVM formats, allowing developers to scale EVM-based dApps cross-chain via IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication). This facilitates the movement of AI agent tokens across various supported networks.

Key Features of Slinky Hyperloop

  • Leveraging the Cosmos SDK: Utilizes the modular and extensible features provided by the Cosmos SDK to enhance functionality and scalability.

  • Implementing the ABCI (Application Blockchain Interface): Uses Tendermint's ABCI to manage blockchain operations effectively, allowing transactions to be processed in any programming language.

  • Incorporating geth: Integrates geth as a library to promote code reuse and improve maintainability.

  • Providing a Web3 JSON-RPC Layer: Ensures full compatibility with existing Ethereum clients and tooling such as MetaMask and Remix, allowing for seamless interaction.

Cosmos SDK

The Slinky Parallax Chain embraces the full composability and modularity of the Cosmos SDK. As a sovereign blockchain within the Cosmos network, Slinky Hyperloop has its own native token called SLINKY and can connect to other chains via IBC. It incorporates standard modules from the Cosmos SDK alongside Slinky-specific modules developed by our team.

Tendermint Core and ABCI

The Tendermint Core consists of two primary technical components: a blockchain consensus engine and a generic application interface. The consensus engine ensures that all transactions are recorded in a consistent order across all nodes. The ABCI enables these transactions to be processed in any programming language, offering flexibility and extensibility.

Tendermint Core has evolved into a versatile blockchain consensus engine capable of hosting a wide range of application states. It can be employed as a plug-and-play replacement for the consensus engines of other blockchains. The Slinky Parallax Chain achieves EVM compatibility by implementing various components that support all EVM state transitions while maintaining a seamless developer experience similar to Ethereum. These components include:

  • Ethereum's Transaction Format: Adapts Ethereum's transaction format to work within the Cosmos SDK Tx and Msg interfaces.

  • secp256k1 Curve: Utilizes Ethereum's secp256k1 curve within the Cosmos Keyring for cryptographic operations.

  • StateDB Interface: Provides an interface for state updates and queries, ensuring accurate state management.

  • JSON-RPC Client: Facilitates interactions with the EVM, allowing developers to use familiar tools and workflows.

By combining these advanced technical features, the Slinky Parallax PoS Chain offers a powerful and flexible platform for developers and users, enabling the creation and deployment of innovative AI agents while benefiting from the features of Web3.
