Layer 1 Blockchain

GAYA is a robust Layer 1 blockchain that employs a sophisticated architecture to achieve scalability, security, and decentralization. At the heart of its design is the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which ensures efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Key aspects include:

  • Validator Network: GAYA’s decentralized network of validators is responsible for securing the blockchain and validating transactions. Validators stake GayaCoin to propose and confirm new blocks, aligning their incentives with the network’s integrity.

  • Energy Efficiency: Unlike Proof-of-Work (PoW) systems, PoS eliminates the need for energy-intensive mining. This significantly reduces the blockchain’s carbon footprint, supporting a sustainable operational model.

  • Scalable Infrastructure: The architecture supports high throughput, enabling the blockchain to process thousands of transactions per second (TPS) while maintaining low latency and high reliability.

This Layer 1 design provides a strong foundation for decentralized applications (dApps), eliminating the reliance on intermediary chains and delivering a seamless blockchain experience.
