SVM Protocol Design
2025-06-12 , Side Stage - Cinema 6

The SVM is a powerful engine that enables low-cost, high-speed, high-performance, and high-throughput capabilities through parallelism. A scaling-with-hardware strategy allows performance enhancements to be captured within a monolithic design. However, the key challenge is designing the protocol to ensure decentralization scales in tandem with performance.


This talk focuses on the key protocol design parameters essential for balancing high network performance with decentralization. It addresses specific considerations to ensure censorship resistance, combat PoS centralization, and support scalable consensus participation. Additionally, it covers the democratization of MEV capture and the importance of correctly pricing block space for a high-throughput blockchain.
