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.
