Description
ValueChain is a Layer 1 blockchain built for high-throughput financial applications using a containerized chain architecture. The base layer (HostChain) runs the consensus algorithm and hosts multiple guest chains stored within its blocks. An EVM-compatible system chain (syschain) manages overall account state and supports standard EVM-compatible decentralized applications. Application-specific chains (appchains) maintain isolated execution environments for individual applications, enabling deterministic high-performance processing. Guest chains are colocated within HostChain blocks, allowing low-latency message passing between appchains without external bridges. The current deployment includes a spot order book appchain, a perpetual order book appchain powering SoDEX, and the EVM syschain as the unified account layer across all appchains.
