📄️ Design
Ten is architected as an L2 protocol, leveraging the rollup pattern to store transaction data on the L1 chain. While most rollup implementations aim for scalability, Ten's primary objective is confidentiality. The rollups encapsulate the entire encrypted transaction data.
📄️ System Components
Cryptography
📄️ Consensus Mechanism
Ten combines Ethereum's L1 security, rollup efficiency, Secure Enclave privacy, and the POBI mechanism for a unique consensus approach.
📄️ Interaction with Ethereum
Ten serves as a confidential extension to Ethereum, enabling assets to move seamlessly between the two networks. While many sidechains and L2 solutions have developed bridges to address mismatches between different network models, Ten's approach is distinct, ensuring a decentralized and secure interaction.
📄️ Governance
Ten's governance is explicit, transparent, and draws inspiration from the experiences of Bitcoin and Ethereum. In a decentralized system, control can be:
