In a significant development for the Ethereum ecosystem, Arcology Network has introduced the first-ever EVM-equivalent, multithreaded rollup, aiming to revolutionize Layer 2 solutions. This innovative technology promises to deliver unparalleled performance and efficiency for developers building complex, resource-intensive decentralized applications (dApps).
Arcology’s cutting-edge parallel transaction execution engine and optimized storage enable the development of applications that were previously too complex or costly to run on-chain. The new rollup boasts impressive features, including EVM equivalence, parallel transaction processing, a 1.5-second block time, and the ability to handle 10,000 to 15,000 transactions per second (TPS). Additionally, it offers a 1.5 billion block gas limit and is designed to be resistant to Miner Extractable Value (MEV).
The introduction of Arcology’s parallel execution rollup addresses a critical challenge in the Ethereum ecosystem. As Ethereum transitions to a rollup-centric model, existing Layer 2 solutions have struggled with scalability issues due to their inheritance of Ethereum’s single-threaded design. This limitation has led to network congestion and significant fee spikes, sometimes rendering certain applications economically unfeasible.
Compared to popular Layer 2 frameworks like Optimism and Arbitrum, which still use Ethereum’s single-threaded design, Arcology’s multithreaded rollup offers substantially higher performance without the risk of fee spikes. While other Layer 2 solutions typically support only a few hundred TPS with a gas limit of 5 to 10 million, Arcology’s system can handle 10,000 to 15,000 TPS with a 1.5 billion block gas limit.
Arcology’s solution also presents a compelling alternative to high-performance Layer 1 blockchains like Solana. While Solana offers improved performance, it requires developers to move away from the Ethereum ecosystem. In contrast, Arcology maintains EVM equivalence, allowing developers to use familiar tools while benefiting from parallel execution and superior scalability.
The real-world impact of Arcology’s technology could be substantial, particularly in industries such as gaming, finance, and decentralized social networks, where fast, low-cost transactions are crucial. Developers can now create dApps that demand high computational power without being constrained by high fees or slow execution times.
Arcology achieves its performance gains by extending the original Ethereum Virtual Machine architecture to enable parallel transaction processing while maintaining 100% EVM equivalence. The system employs optimistic concurrency control to protect data integrity during simultaneous transactions. To further enhance performance, Arcology offers a Solidity library that helps eliminate contention in contract code, allowing developers to fully leverage the benefits of parallel processing.
The Arcology mainnet is expected to launch by June 2025, and the network is inviting developers to explore its capabilities and contribute to the next generation of decentralized applications. Early participants may have opportunities to be rewarded through future incentivization programs designed to encourage the development of high-performance, resource-intensive applications on the network.
As the blockchain industry continues to evolve, Arcology’s parallel execution rollup represents a significant step forward in addressing the scalability challenges faced by Ethereum and its Layer 2 solutions. By offering a high-performance, cost-effective alternative that maintains compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem, Arcology is positioning itself as a potential game-changer in the world of decentralized applications and blockchain technology.
