🔔Preface Summary:
Recently, the hot topics about rollups,#appchainsand RaaS are still online;
But are we ready for the modular stack that the next 1,000 appchains will need?
Are these appchains scalable enough?
Are we about to witness a truly modular future?
⏳First, let’s recall:
Ethereum was originally founded on the idea of bringing smart contract functionality to blockchain technology so that developers could build truly decentralized financial applications. Demand for these applications has skyrocketed, and so have transaction fees.
To address these issues, developers around the world started building new types of L1 and even L2 on top of Ethereum, but they don’t really solve all the problems#DeFibuilders face today.
Cosmos was one of the first L1s to propose the concept of a modular, scalable future and offer developers the opportunity to build application-specific blockchains that suit their specific needs, but the stack is still incomplete as developers still need to spend months deploying their own chain and finding their own set of validators.
🌟 $SAGA
Of course, there are some newer stacks on the market, such as Avalanche Subnet and PolygonCDK, but there is room for improvement.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a relatively simple way for application developers to easily access any stack and build on top of it easily?
I've been looking at all the major appchain deployments and RaaS platforms and @Sagaxyz__ is hands down the most impressive. They basically provide superpowers for all existing stacks and more.
structure
Appchains on Saga have infinite horizontal scalability, which means that even millions of appchains can be deployed on the Saga platform chain without causing any downtime to the platform chain and other appchains on Saga.
-> Deploy Avalanche subnet, Cosmos appchain, SVM chain, MoveVM chain?
Developers can deploy them through Saga without having to worry about setting up their own validator set. Appchains on Saga are full L1s, called chainlets, and leverage Saga’s consensus.
-> Deploy ETH EVM L2 using PolygonCDK, OP stack, etc?
Developers can deploy complete rollups through Saga while having an essentially decentralized sequencer. Rollups deployed through Saga are called Ethlets.
-> Developers will also have the opportunity to switch to new modular DA solutions such as Celestia, Avail, and EigenDA.
Saga adopts a similar approach to the recent popular Eigenlayer re-staking, which is to reuse a pledged asset to protect multiple chains.
So Saga contains an Eigenlayer inside.
Saga can be configured to use various virtual machines (i.e. EVM, SolanaVM, MoveVM).
Each Chainlet has a dedicated virtual machine deployed to a single chain. EVM is the first VM supported by Saga Chainlets.
🛑Wrapping up
Saga's stack is fully customizable and modular, meaning developers are free to plug different modular components into their chain to suit their specific needs.
In addition, Saga has launched an innovator program, with more than 400 projects being built on Saga, 80% of which are games. About 10% of the projects are NFT and entertainment, and 10% are DeFi.
