Description
HyveDA is a middleware data availability layer built on Ethereum, designed for decentralized networks like Layer2s and Validiums. It delivers a modular DA solution achieving 1 GB/s bandwidth and sub-second response times, ideal for decentralized infrastructures with high-volume data requirements. HyveDA aims to provide high data publishing throughput for applications with intense data needs such as Layer 2s, DePIN, Decentralized AI, DeFi, rollups, and parallel execution environments, enabling limitless scale and seamless performance. The protocol operates on a permissionless network and features a data availability committee (DAC) where anyone can participate by staking through Symbiotic, a shared security protocol. This model eliminates the need for a centralized proposer, removing bottlenecks and security assumptions. The network is designed for horizontal scalability and high throughput, and malicious behavior by nodes is penalized through slashing to ensure network reliability.
