Introducing delta

delta is a new distributed network which separates execution from asset storage and security.

Overview

The delta network exists in two layers:

• Domains are independent execution environments where users transact and applications run, built as web services with cryptographic guardrails. Domains manage their own transaction ordering and execution, and send state updates to the base layer for finalization.

• The base layer is a shared state machine that secures all assets. Validators ensure that balance updates from domains are valid according to delta's global laws and any applicable domain local laws. Since all assets are global, users can move seamlessly between any domain on the network; no bridging required.

This architecture lets domains scale like traditional backends while inheriting the security of the base layer.

The delta network at a glance: Users transact on domains, which post verified state updates to the global base layer.
