Real Blockchain Old

Overview

The Real blockchain is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain designed to support high-volume, low-cost transactions optimized for digital assets, marketplaces, and creative applications. It leverages the Ethereum mainnet for security while providing its own environment for scalable, efficient execution.

Key Features

  • Ethereum Security with Layer 2 Scalability: Built on OP Stack, Real operates as an Ethereum zk-rollup Layer 2 blockchain, inheriting the security guarantees of Ethereum’s decentralized validator network while introducing faster block times and lower transaction fees.

  • Future-Proof Infrastructure for Mass Adoption: Powered by Conduit, Real chain can handle spikes up to ~13–25 TPS and ~25,000 RPC calls per second, with autoscaling features ensuring stability during high demand.

  • Optimized for Marketplaces and Tokenization: Real is designed for token creation, trading, and ownership transfers at scale. It is ideal for use cases where a high frequency of transactions is expected, such as marketplaces, collectibles, real-world asset tokenization, and experimental financial products.

  • Native Minting and Protocol-Level Support: Real includes built-in support for minting assets directly at the protocol layer. This allows developers and businesses to create tokens without needing external contracts, simplifying workflows while maintaining compatibility with ERC standards.

  • Low-Cost Transactions: The network is optimized for affordability, with transactions priced in ETH but designed to remain consistently cheaper than Ethereum mainnet. This cost structure supports creators, businesses, and users operating at scale.

  • Open and Composable Ecosystem: Real is fully EVM-compatible, ensuring seamless integration with existing Ethereum tooling, wallets, and developer environments. Builders can deploy applications and interact with contracts as they would on Ethereum, while benefiting from faster performance and lower fees.

Technical Architecture

  • Execution Layer: Real provides an EVM-compatible execution environment, enabling contracts and applications written for Ethereum to be deployed without modification. Real provides an EVM-compatible execution environment, allowing contracts and applications written for Ethereum to be deployed without changes. It supports Solidity and Vyper smart contracts. There is real-time finality on the chain, with periodic settlement to Ethereum for added security.

  • Rollup Framework: Real uses an Optimistic Rollup model that allows future migration to zk-rollups. Transactions are aggregated off-chain and then submitted to Ethereum in a compressed format. Fraud proofs enable anyone to challenge invalid transactions, maintaining integrity without requiring the re-execution of all computations on Ethereum.

  • Data Availability: All essential transaction data is recorded on Ethereum for verifiable transparency. This guarantees that even if Real infrastructure becomes inaccessible, the state can be reconstructed from Ethereum’s data.

  • Consensus and Sequencing: Real uses a single-sequencer model with a plan for decentralization. The sequencer is responsible for ordering transactions and creating blocks on the Blockchain. Users send transactions directly to the sequencer, which executes them immediately with low latency. Occasionally, transaction batches are sent to Ethereum for settlement.

  • Bridging and Interoperability: A native bridge contract on Ethereum facilitates asset transfers between Ethereum and Real. Assets locked on Ethereum are represented 1:1 on Real. Developers can create cross-chain applications that enable seamless movement of assets between Ethereum mainnet and Real.

Transaction Lifecycle

  1. User Transaction: User submits a transaction via wallet (e.g., MetaMask) directly to the Real sequencer.

  2. Execution: The sequencer orders and executes transactions in the EVM-compatible execution layer.

  3. Batching: Transactions are aggregated into a batch.

  4. Settlement: The sequencer posts the batch to the Real rollup contract on Ethereum.

  5. Dispute Window: Fraud proofs allow anyone to challenge invalid batches.

  6. Finality: After the dispute window closes, transactions are finalized on Ethereum, inheriting its security.

Component Breakdown

  1. Sequencer

    1. Orders and executes transactions with low latency.

    2. Provides instant confirmations to users.

    3. Submits batches to Ethereum for settlement.

  2. Execution Layer

    1. EVM-compatible environment (Solidity, Vyper, tooling).

    2. Supports token minting primitives (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155).

    3. Smart contracts work out of the box with Ethereum.

  3. Rollup Contract

    1. Resides on Ethereum mainnet.

    2. Stores compressed transaction batches.

    3. Handles fraud-proof challenges and finalization.

  4. Fraud Proofs

    1. Ensures the validity of transactions through optimistic rollup design.

    2. Anyone can submit proof during the dispute window.

    3. Disputes resolved directly on Ethereum.

  5. Finalization

    1. Once a batch passes its dispute window, it becomes final and cannot be reversed.

    2. Real inherits Ethereum’s trust guarantees.

Gas and Fees

Benefit
Description

Gas Currency

ETH or Real are used as the gas token for transact

Fee Structure

Real transactions are priced dynamically based on block demand but remain significantly cheaper than mainnet.

Revenue Distribution

A portion of fees goes to the sequencer; the remainder is used to support ecosystem growth and future validator incentives.

Security Model

Benefit
Description

Ethereum as the Settlement Layer

Final state commitments are posted to Ethereum, ensuring Real cannot diverge without detection.

Fraud Proofs (Optimistic Rollup)

Any actor can submit a fraud proof if they believe a batch has invalid transactions. Disputes are settled on Ethereum, ensuring correctness.

Roadmap to Decentralization

A trusted entity can operate the initial sequencer. Future upgrades will add multi-sequencer models and shared sequencing with other L2s.
