pBFT + Reputation Channels (L1) — This new architectural component will process transactions in parallel, using reputation as an additional weight to provide higher security. The transaction speed of L1 channels will vary based on the risk that a merchant wishes to assume, ranging from sub-second speeds to 5 seconds. For higher value transactions, it will be recommended that they receive additional weight from validation on the next consensus layer: L2, reducing transaction speed to 15 seconds plus.

Network Data Sharding — Data sharding is an essential facet of our ledger design in order to achieve long-term scalability. Amine will provide the opportunity for nodes to run in “shard” mode, which will lower their disk and memory usage, even when the network is under high load.

LLD Global File System  — The LLD global file system will support secondary files that record assets to be stored and retrieved through network operations, providing a seamless interface for managing assets and data.

Domain Specific Languages — Contract-specific programming languages will be provided that will include internal safety mechanisms such as catching overflows to allow more complex contract development, while remaining less prone to error.

DAO Voting Groups — This feature will extend the DAO functionality of Tritium++ by adding more groups to the consensus mechanism. Groups will be formed of individuals that share a common interest in order to create a diverse voting structure that reflects many interests in the determination of decisions that affect the entire network. Each group will have a single vote in the DAO.

pBFT + PoS Trust Network (L2) —  As an extension to the existing Proof of Stake system, L2 will form the second layer of consensus above the L1. The L2 layer ensures safety and liveness, cross-shard communication, and resolves conflicts from the L1 layer. It represents the horizontal chaining of the L1 channels, and is a major step towards a truly decentralized and scalable ledger.

LISP Multicast Links for (L1) and (L2) — Using LISP, the L1 and L2 layers will have their own Multicast links, therefore packets and transactions will route in constant time no matter how many nodes are part of the system.

Application Store — Here applications and modules will be able to be shared and sold in a decentralized marketplace. Modules will provide developers the building blocks to create applications.
