Architecture

LycanChain’s architecture is meticulously designed to deliver high performance, scalability, security, and interoperability. It leverages a multi-layered approach that integrates advanced blockchain technologies and innovative protocols. Here’s a detailed breakdown of LycanChain’s architecture:

1. Layered Structure:

   • Consensus Layer: At the core of LycanChain’s architecture is the consensus layer, which utilizes the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) mechanism. This layer is responsible for validating transactions, securing the network, and maintaining the integrity of the blockchain. DPoS ensures high throughput and energy efficiency, making it ideal for large-scale applications.

   • Network Layer: This layer manages communication between nodes, facilitating data propagation and transaction broadcasting. It ensures that all nodes are synchronized and that information is disseminated efficiently across the network.

   • Data Layer: The data layer stores blockchain data, including transaction histories, smart contracts, and state information. LycanChain employs advanced data structures and storage solutions to ensure data integrity, accessibility, and scalability.

   • Smart Contract Layer: This layer provides the environment for deploying and executing smart contracts. It is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing developers to port their Ethereum-based applications to LycanChain seamlessly.

   • Application Layer: The top layer hosts decentralized applications (dApps) and user interfaces. It interacts with underlying layers through APIs and SDKs, providing developers with the tools and resources needed to build and deploy their applications.

2. Modular Design:

   • LycanChain’s architecture is modular, allowing for flexibility and adaptability. Each component can be upgraded or replaced independently, enabling the platform to evolve and integrate new technologies without disrupting existing operations.
