Ava Labs is already implementing the scaling approach detailed in a research post published today. We plan to conduct benchmarks in the coming weeks.
The scaling approach will be enabled in the first HyperSDK testnet, targeted for mid-Q2. HyperSDK is a framework for building high-performance blockchains with virtual machines to deliver smart contracts. Vryx will be used to support blockchains built using HyperSDK, known as HyperChain, and the idea is that this technology will trickle down to major blockchain platforms over time.
“Since the launch of HyperSDK a year and a half ago, Ava Labs has been obsessed with providing best-in-class scalability for anyone building their own blockchain on Avalanche. Today we’re one step closer to that goal. Ava Labs A spokesperson announced the launch of Vryx.
‘Best performance in its class’
“Many of you have asked how Avalanche HyperSDK can achieve the high throughput goals we set when it was originally released,” he added, “and Vryx is a key mechanism that we believe can deliver best-in-class performance.”
The core idea of Vryx is the concept of splitting up parts of the trading process and executing them in a pipelined manner. This means that a block of transactions can be verified while the next block is already in development. This type of strategy has already been adopted by blockchain platforms such as Aptos and Sui.
“Vryx is expected to perform as well as other configurations replicating transactions prior to full verification in a benign environment and will outperform in a hostile environment as well,” the spokesperson said.
