Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! The CLAYER blockchain is 100% EVM compatible at the bytecode level meaning contracts from ETH mainnet, or other fully EVM compatible networks will work out-of-the-box without requiring any code changes.
Simply deploy your EVM smart contracts on the CLAYER blockchain to experience game-changing cost reduction and performance.
CLAYER's database is purpose-built for the EVM. The EVM requires data to be stored in a special cryptographic data structure, known as a Merkel Patricia Trie (MPT), which allows for succinct verification of blockchain data.
Our database leverages the latest advancements in Linux kernel technology to support parallel state access, greatly reducing the overhead of database access and allowing system resources to be used elsewhere during parallel execution.
In contrast, off-the-shelf databases are largely suboptimal for storing MPT data, which may result in applications downloading significantly more data for verification, or otherwise pose significant challenges to blockchain scalability.
The CLAYER client is built with a monolithic architecture, optimized for high performance and security. Our implementation leverages proven technologies to deliver reliable blockchain infrastructure.
CLAYER is based on Geth (Go Ethereum) and is written in Go (Golang), a memory-safe and performant language that provides excellent concurrency support. This proven implementation ensures compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem while delivering the performance needed for high-throughput applications.
The CLAYER network is a full stack solution for developers, allowing access to a highly composable ecosystem without compromising on real-time censorship resistance.
While L2 solutions may offer one way to compress data stored on the base layer, the CLAYER blockchain is a scalable base layer for the EVM itself at it's most fundamental layer.
A highly-performant base layer gives application developers the best of both worlds, with a high degree of composability and real-time censorship resistance in the name of scalability.
