Core Architecture
Supernova's architecture consists of several key components:
- Consensus Layer - Implements the hybrid PoS/renewable energy validation mechanism
- Execution Layer - Processes transactions and smart contracts
- Data Layer - Manages blockchain state and history
- Network Layer - Handles peer discovery and communication
- API Layer - Provides interfaces for interacting with the blockchain
These components work together to create a scalable, sustainable blockchain platform capable of supporting enterprise-grade applications while maintaining a negative carbon footprint.
Design Principles
The core components of Supernova were designed with the following principles:
- Sustainability - Environmental impact is a first-class consideration
- Scalability - Architecture supports high transaction throughput
- Security - Forward-looking security against classical and quantum threats
- Simplicity - Clean interfaces between components
- Interoperability - Designed to work with existing blockchain ecosystems
The documentation in this section provides details on how these principles are implemented in the core architecture.
