Core Features

GAYA’s platform stands out through its unique blend of scalability, sustainability, interoperability, and decentralized governance, addressing key challenges in the blockchain industry. These core features enable GAYA to provide a cutting-edge blockchain experience for developers and users alike.

Layer 1 Blockchain

At the heart of GAYA’s infrastructure is a robust Layer 1 blockchain, built to achieve scalability, security, and decentralization. The network employs a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to:

• Validate Transactions: A decentralized network of validators stakes GayaCoin to propose and confirm blocks, ensuring network integrity and security.

• Enhance Sustainability: By eliminating energy-intensive mining, PoS significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional Proof-of-Work systems.

• Support High Throughput: The blockchain processes thousands of transactions per second (TPS) with low latency, ensuring seamless operations for dApps across gaming, DeFi, and SocialFi domains.

This architecture eliminates intermediary chains and provides a scalable foundation for decentralized applications.

Eco-Conscious Blockchain Design

Sustainability is deeply integrated into GAYA’s design. By addressing environmental concerns, the platform promotes responsible blockchain adoption through:

• Carbon Tracking: Monitoring and recording the carbon impact of every transaction to encourage eco-conscious decisions.

• Sustainability Incentives: Rewarding users who support or participate in green initiatives with eco-rewards.

• Energy-Efficient Operations: Utilizing a low-energy PoS mechanism to minimize energy consumption while maintaining robust security.

These features align GAYA with global sustainability goals, reinforcing its position as an environmentally responsible blockchain platform.

Interoperability and Gaya Virtual Machine (GVM)

The GAYA Virtual Machine (GVM) is the computational engine of the platform, fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This compatibility fosters:

• Seamless Migration: Developers can port Ethereum-based dApps to GAYA without extensive modifications, using familiar tools like Solidity.

• Enhanced Interoperability: GVM enables interactions between GAYA and Ethereum-based solutions, promoting collaboration across ecosystems.

• High Performance: The GVM ensures low-latency execution of smart contracts, supporting real-time transactions and complex logic.

• Developer Scalability: Built to handle large-scale dApps, the system delivers consistent performance as user demand grows.

By lowering barriers for developers and enhancing interoperability, GAYA drives innovation and expands the potential of decentralized applications.
