IV. Technical Architecture & Advantages

Tondi's reference implementation for next-generation PoW settlement chains

Tondi is a reference project for next-generation PoW settlement chains, combining GHOSTDAG, P2TR, Blake3, and Schnorr batch signatures to redefine throughput and privacy standards.

Core Architecture Components

Module Key Features
Consensus GHOSTDAG (parallel blocks + Blue Block weighting)
Hashing Blake3, far superior to SHA256, SIMD support
UTXO Model BTC-homomorphic, P2TR supported
Signatures Schnorr batch signatures + parallel verification
Block frequency Dynamic โ‰ฅ10 blocks/sec, auto-adjust
Transaction processing Parallel mempool ordering & validation, supports 10k+ TPS

Performance Characteristics

Consensus Layer

  • GHOSTDAG Protocol: Enables parallel block processing with Blue Block weighting
  • Dynamic Block Frequency: โ‰ฅ10 blocks per second with automatic adjustment
  • Parallel Validation: Supports 10,000+ transactions per second

Hashing & Security

  • Blake3 Algorithm: Significantly superior to SHA256 with SIMD support
  • Schnorr Signatures: Batch signature processing with parallel verification
  • UTXO Model: Bitcoin-homomorphic structure with P2TR support

Transaction Processing

  • Parallel Mempool: Concurrent ordering and validation
  • High Throughput: 10,000+ TPS capability
  • Low Latency: Sub-second confirmation times

Comparative Analysis

Vs. Bitcoin (BTC)

Advantages:

  • Throughput: Tens of times higher (7 TPS vs. 15,000โ€“25,000 TPS)
  • Privacy: Unified privacy structure, no path leakage
  • Anchoring: Only commitments submitted, ideal for RGB & Taproot assets

Investment Highlight: Optimal L2 settlement platform for BTC-native assets

Vs. Solana

Advantages:

  • No Account Model: No global state sync, low hardware requirements
  • Confirmation Independence: Independent of state scheduling, no GPU dependency
  • Decentralization: Maintains PoW architecture

Investment Highlight: Solana alternative under decentralized PoW architecture

Vs. ETH Rollups

Advantages:

  • No General-Purpose VM: Focuses on state anchoring & throughput optimization
  • Independent Cost Structure: Independent of ETH Gas costs
  • Client Execution Support: Supports RGB / SBT / DAO client execution

Investment Highlight: Flexible anchoring base layer for high-frequency scenarios

Technical Advantages

Performance First Design

  • Minimal Script Support: No general-purpose VM, only Taproot-compatible script paths
  • Covenant Primitives: CTV, Vault, and other covenant-based security models
  • Client-Side Validation: All channel and L2 protocol execution is wallet-side

Hardware Efficiency

  • Resource Efficiency: Superior to Solana in resource usage
  • Low Operating Threshold: Extremely low hardware requirements
  • Privacy Enhancement: Better privacy characteristics than existing solutions

Scalability Solutions

  • Native Channel Support: Built-in support for APO + Eltoo + Channel Factories
  • Signature Aggregation: CISA reduces transaction size by 30โ€“50%
  • Privacy Payments: PTLC enhances privacy and conditional payment capability

Architecture Benefits

For Developers
