Armonia Overall Architecture — — Multichain Model

 

As a multichain platform, Armonia has adopted a unique mother-and-child-chain model, as compared to the star-like models which have been adopted in many other multichain technologies like Cosmos or Polkadot:

Core Design

AMC adopts an innovative consensus algorithm called APOS and high-performance WASM virtual machine, requiring extremely low transaction cost. AMC also adopts an account name rather than an address based onchain addressing model;
ACC chains can be rapidly built with layer-0 and layer-1 template SDK modules and can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous;
Other public chains like Bitcoin or Ethereum can also be included in the multichain environment to co-exist with other ACC chains; and
All chains within the Armonia multichain environment can mirror or bridge their assets from one to another.
Multichain Model
With Armonia’s layer-0 and layer-1 template software and SDK modules, users can rapidly build many versatile child chains with their uniqueness in consensus algorithm, block interval, virtual machine and finality choices, etc., to meet the various needs of the ecosystem.

ACC use have their own native tokens or directly utilize $AMAX which can be bridged from the AMC chain. It is highly encouraged to implement ACC that runs on a gas model and utilizes $AMAX for gas or transaction fee payment. By increasing the demand of $AMAX, ACC will help to add value to AMC, and even the entire ecosystem.

Basically, every single blockchain can be highly abstracted or characterized as the capital letter “T” whereby the horizontal line stands for all transaction and block data broadcasted throughout the network and the vertical line represents the state database (for example, account balance state) that is only constructed after execution of transactions produced from the horizontal line. Furthermore, a dotted line circle is used to represent an open and public blockchain network while a solid line circle represents a private blockchain. AMC can serve as trust anchor to all other ACC chains which collectively form the following multichain universe:
