Push Chain Proposal
Push Chain is a shared-state Layer 1 blockchain built to support scalable consumer applications and universal apps. Utilizing Proof-of-Stake, it serves as a shared settlement layer across multiple L1s, L2s, and L3s, enabling seamless cross-chain transactions. With gas and wallet abstraction, it simplifies onboarding for web3 users and web2 newcomers alike.
The chain introduces consumer transactions, optimized for unordered, non-financial operations, enabling fast finality and scalability. Advanced features such as orderless blocks, parallel block execution, and dynamic sharding deliver unmatched efficiency, while a blockchain-agnostic architecture ensures compatibility across ecosystems.
Phase 1 establishes infrastructure for consumer-centric apps, including decentralized social platforms, gaming apps, utility services, and AI-based tools. It incorporates blockchain-agnostic wallet addresses, transaction support from any chain, fee abstraction, wallet abstraction, and Push ID for unified identity. Dynamic sharding and parallel validators ensure true scalability.
Phase 2 enables seamless interoperability through liquidity bridging, smart contract message passing, and cross-chain state access. Applications such as unified DEXs, cross-chain DeFi platforms, NFT trading, and interoperable Al agents emerge from this phase.
Phase 3 introduces universal smart contracts and a shared state, enabling a unified app experience by abstracting web? complexities. Users can seamlessly interact across chains with a single identity and simplified interfaces, unlocking the full potential of decentralized applications.
Push Chain’s phased development sets the foundation for a new era of scalable, user-friendly, and interoperable blockchain applications.
