📄️ What is HyMatrix
Imagine you have a complex computing task—like running an AI model to analyze images, performing large-scale data analytics, or executing backend logic across a global distributed network. You want someone to compute it for you, but you don’t want to fully trust that they won’t cheat or alter the results.
📄️ Storage-based Consensus Paradigm
As long as the input and execution process of a deterministic computation are fully recorded in immutable, traceable, and permanently available storage, anyone can verify the correctness of the computation—no matter where it was executed—achieving trustlessness.
📄️ Log-Driven Consensus
In traditional blockchains, the core of consensus is global synchronization and confirmation of state. All nodes must repeatedly execute the same transactions, produce the same state updates, and use voting or proof-of-work mechanisms to agree on a single version of the blockchain. While this ensures decentralization and security, it also introduces major performance overhead and scalability bottlenecks.
📄️ Flexible Consensus
In the architecture of HyMatrix, consensus is not a rigid, one-size-fits-all mechanism, but a capability that can be dynamically adjusted based on actual needs. This is known as Flexible Consensus.
📄️ Proof of Verification
PoV: From Proof of Work to Verifiability
📄️ Node Architecture
In the HyMatrix network, nodes are the core units of computation and communication. Each node is responsible not only for executing user tasks locally but also for managing virtual machine environments, forwarding messages, assigning transaction order, and generating verifiable logs—ultimately enabling a decentralized, verifiable, and high-performance computing network.
📄️ Virtual Machines and Execution Environments
In the HyMatrix network, virtual machines (VMs) are the isolated environments where computation tasks are executed. VMs provide standardized, reproducible, and verifiable execution contexts. They support diverse runtimes and hardware acceleration, enabling both Web3 smart contracts and high-performance Web2 computing such as AI and big data.
