Core Features

The Altius architecture is defined by proprietary engineering breakthroughs that resolve the fundamental limitations of traditional digital ledgers. By optimizing the relationship between software logic and hardware utilization, Altius achieves institutional-grade performance on commodity infrastructure.

High-Concurrency Engine

The Altius engine delivers granular parallelism that transcends traditional simultaneous execution models. By utilizing an advanced Resolver, the system identifies transaction dependencies at the individual instruction level.

When a data conflict occurs, the engine isolates and re-executes only the specific conflicted instructions rather than restarting the entire transaction. This process is managed by the OCCDA Coordinator to minimize wasted computation and resource locking, enabling a level of throughput that is unattainable through sequential or coarse-grained parallel methods.

Scalable State Merkle Trie (SSMT)

Input and output operations represent the primary performance bottleneck in high-density networks. The Altius Scalable State Merkle Trie (SSMT) architecture resolves this by holding the network state in memory.

By sharding the data across a cluster of commodity hardware, the system eliminates disk-access latency and provides the speed of in-memory computing. This sharded, memory-first approach ensures the platform remains performant on affordable hardware, preventing the centralization risks associated with high-cost specialized servers.

VM-Agnostic Architecture

Altius is designed for a diverse technological landscape where multiple execution standards coexist. The Interpreter functions as a universal abstraction layer that allows various virtual machines, such as EVM, WASM, or MoveVM, to be integrated as modular components.

The execution engine remains agnostic to the internal logic of these machines as it focuses exclusively on the state access requirements. This architectural flexibility future-proofs the network and ensures universal compatibility across different development environments.

Open Execution Network (OEN)

The Open Execution Network is an economic model designed to align developer incentives with systemic performance. Facilitated by the OCCDA Coordinator, the network provides deterministic proof of how and why computational conflicts occur. This transparency allows the system to economically reward developers who write efficient and parallel-friendly code. Applications designed to avoid state-access locks benefit from lower execution costs, creating a feedback loop that optimizes the entire ecosystem for high-speed concurrency.

Deterministic Throughput and Latency

The combination of granular parallelism and sharded memory storage results in a system optimized for extreme operational demands.

• High Throughput: By removing the I/O bottleneck and maximizing processor utilization, the engine handles an unprecedented volume of operations per second, suitable for large-scale settlements.

• Predictable Low Latency: Execution is no longer constrained by slow disk access or the requirement to wait for sequential processing. The in-memory design ensures that transactions are finalized at near-network speeds, providing the responsiveness required for real-time applications.
