How Zebec Labs’ latest project is revolutionizing blockchain architecture
Nautilus Chain is on the verge of being launched as the first production-level L3 chain. But what does that mean, and how will Web3 users benefit? This article explores the top six ways Nautilus’ revolutionary L3 architecture is pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology.
Zebec Protocol’s Latest Project
Nautilus is the latest project to come out of Zebec Labs. Community members can participate in the launch through Operation Horizon and Zepoch Node NFTs, which give holders access to many different rewards already. But with the launch of Nautilus, Zepoch Node holders will also start to receive special airdrops from Nautilus and the dozens of projects already signed up to launch on it. Over 2,000 Zebec community members have purchased Zepochs as a part of Operation Horizon.
When it launches, Nautilus Chain will be the most technologically advanced chain in the Web3 industry. As an L3, it has a modular architecture in which each layer can be customized to suit the specific needs of the dApps built on it.
Before Nautilus goes live, let’s take a closer look at the specific advantages it brings to the blockchain space. Here are the top six advancements represented by Nautilus Chain:
Six Key Advantages of Nautilus Chain
1. The First Modular Blockchain
As a modular chain, the consensus, data storage, settlement, and execution layers are all handled separately. By separating out the layers, Nautilus is highly scalable, customizable, and interoperable.
Nautilus was designed to integrate with Eclipse, a universal L2 rollup whose security is anchored in Ethereum. Nautilus itself is an optimistic rollup chain, but will eventually move to ZK-rollups for faster settlement for greater efficiency. For interoperability, Nautilus Chain will be built on Celestia and connect to the Cosmos ecosystem via the IBC protocol.
A modular architecture, like Nautilus’, means developers have more control of the tech stack — or chain stack — on which they build their dApps. Through Celesita and Eclipse, Nautilus’s ecosystem will be the first one built on a modular blockchain
2. EVM Compatibility
Nautilus Chain will be the first parallel EVM rollup in Web3. Many other L2 parallel EVM environments have difficulty synchronizing data and working with other chains, but through Celestia, Nautilus is fully EVM-compatible and interoperable with other chains. Being EVM compatible wil make it easy for developers to build on Nautilus because they can use Solidity.
3. Privacy
Nautilus is designed to provide private payments — and moving to ZK-rollups will enable even greater privacy capabilities. Privacy is essential for many commercial applications and the mass adoption of Web3 for payment infrastructure.
To further facilitate adoption and compliance, Nautilus will implement ZK-based anti-money laundering controls that won’t violate on-chain privacy. This will let Nautilus protect consumers as well as comply with auditors as it becomes a more important part of global payment systems.
4. Scalable Transaction Rates
Unlike other EVM chains, which need to process transactions in sequence, Nautilus allows for parallel processing of transactions. Parallel processing of transactions makes Nautilus the fastest EVM chain to date, with an initial TPS of 2,000 with faster speeds soon to come.
5. A Friendly Chain
Because of its modular design, Nautilus is “lightweight,” meaning it is highly interoperable, extensible, and customizable. Developers will be able to choose, in the future, which other major chains to use in the modular chain stack deciding between which VMs and execution layers to use. This not only aids developers but also helps other chains reach a higher level of performance and functionality.
6. A Web3 System for Web2 Application
Nautilus Chain was built to be used. Its modular design makes it ideal for replacing existing payment infrastructure because it makes Nautilus more reliable, secure, and scalable than other chains. Real-world application has always been the focus of Zebec Labs, whose flagship product, Zebec Pay, is currently the best tool for issuing cryptocurrency payments in a tax-compliant way. Zebec’s ecosystem has been expanding in the Web2 world, replacing traditional finance systems with Web3 ones.
Nautilus is also built with utility in the Web2 world in mind. It gives Solidity developers a place to build next-gen financial dApps so that Web3 tech can replace Web2 systems in global payment infrastructure.
Next Steps
Nautilus Chain will be launched on the mainnet in the next few days. Nautilus will allow Zebec’s payment streaming technology to transition from protocol to public chain, giving it a platform tailored to its needs. Nautilus will also provide a solid foundation for other Web3 payment dApps, and its launch will be a major milestone for the industry.
