About Us

Revolutionizing Blockchain Scalability with Sky Protocol

Sky Protocol proposes a universal scalability architecture for Cardano side chains. Scaling side chains on Cardano necessitates a robust Data Availability Solution. Sky Protocol offers a capital-efficient approach to address this challenge, ensuring all Layer 2 decentralized applications on Cardano can function smoothly and effectively.

Power of Sky Protocol

Key Benefits for Sky Protocol Users

stars
Data Availability

We will publish crucial data in a manner that simplifies validation of Plutus and Aiken contracts, allowing seamless integration with Layer 1 contracts. For Cardano users, this means enhanced reliability, efficiency, and scalability in executing smart contracts, leading to faster, more secure transactions and a more streamlined user experience across the network.

stars
Cohesive Network

Our network will enable Cardano DApps to share the same Data Availability network, pooling the costs of software development and immobilized capital required for network validation. This approach is more cost-effective and efficient compared to each application building its own network, ultimately benefiting Cardano users with reduced expenses and faster development.

stars
Censorship Resistant

Our network will eventually include additional censorship-resistant features, such as time-locked blinding of data, ensuring that committee members cannot selectively censor information. This enhancement will provide Cardano users with greater security and trust in the network, as data integrity and accessibility will be safeguarded against potential censorship attempts.

stars
Layer 2 Versatility

Our network will support DApp validation using both "optimistic" methods through interactive games and "pessimistic" methods through zero-knowledge proofs. This dual approach offers Cardano users flexible and robust validation options, ensuring the integrity and reliability of decentralized applications while enhancing the overall security and efficiency of the network.

stars
Continuum of Validation

Sky Protocol offers a continuum of validation options, ranging from complete trust in the network to complete validation of the data with zero-knowledge proofs. This flexibility allows developers to choose the level of validation that best suits their application's requirements, balancing security, scalability, and performance.

stars
Improved Scalability

With Sky Protocol, Cardano can handle a larger number of transactions per second, leading to faster and more efficient transaction processing. This means users experience shorter confirmation times and reduced congestion on the network, resulting in a smoother and more responsive user experience.

stars
Lower Transaction Costs

By increasing scalability and efficiency, Sky Protocol may lead to lower transaction fees for users. Reduced fees make using Cardano more affordable, particularly for small transactions, micro-payments, and everyday transactions, ultimately benefiting end users.

stars
Security and Privacy

The customizable validation options offered by Sky Protocol allow for increased security and privacy measures tailored to users' preferences. Users can choose validation settings that align with their desired level of security and privacy, providing greater control over their personal data and financial transactions.

stars
Expanded Functionality

The ability for developers to build more complex and feature-rich decentralized applications (DApps) on Cardano's Layer 2 using Sky Protocol means end users gain access to a wider range of services and functionalities. This can include features such as decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), gaming platforms, and more, providing users with diverse and engaging experiences.

stars
Interoperability

Sky Protocol's architecture ensures seamless integration with existing Cardano infrastructure, preserving interoperability and compatibility with Layer 1 while introducing enhanced capabilities. This means users can continue to access and interact with their existing Cardano assets and applications while benefiting from the added scalability and features enabled by Layer 2.
