About ENI
ENI sets a new standard for scalable EVM and interconnected blockchain ecosystems with its parallel execution, high throughput, and unified virtual machine capabilities.
With its dual-turbo consensus and ENI-DB technologies, ENI achieves block times in seconds and offers customized transaction throughput for high-demand blockchain environments. These performance enhancements position ENI as a key player in interdisciplinary distributed computing, redefining the capabilities of the EVM. Its design not only supports complex real-world decentralized applications but also sets new performance benchmarks for blockchain technology.
ENI’s architecture provides seamless interoperability and offers native access to the Cosmos ecosystem for EVM developers. By directly integrating precompiled contracts into the EVM, ENI further enhances EVM’s capabilities, allowing developers to build and deploy applications more efficiently.
What is EVM?
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is used to process transactions on blockchains like Ethereum. Most crypto-native developers are very familiar with EVM.
Unfortunately, the EVM has relatively low efficiency — on Ethereum Layer 1 (L1), it cannot handle more than about 20 transactions per second (TPS).
This leads to:
High transaction fees for users, with simple transactions often costing hundreds of dollars.
Limited design space for developers, making it difficult to build high-performance applications.
What is Parallelization?
Parallelization allows you to process multiple tasks simultaneously (i.e., parallel processing). In software engineering, this technique is commonly used to leverage modern hardware with multiple cores to handle several workflows at the same time.
For ENI, parallelization is used to process multiple independent transactions simultaneously.
What Optimizations Did ENI Introduce?
ENI introduced four major innovations to enhance performance and scalability:
Dual-Turbo Consensus:This feature enables ENI to achieve the fastest finality time of any blockchain — only 400 milliseconds, unlocking a Web2-like experience for applications.
Optimistic Parallelization:This feature allows developers to unlock parallel processing for their Ethereum applications without any additional work.
Efficient Database:This major upgrade enables ENI to handle higher data storage, read, and write rates, which is crucial for high-performance blockchains.
Interoperable EVM:This allows existing Ethereum ecosystem developers to deploy their applications, tools, and infrastructure to ENI without any modifications, while enjoying a 100x performance improvement provided by ENI.
All these features together unlock a new, scalable design space for the Ethereum ecosystem.
ENI Performance Metrics
Through these optimizations, ENI can achieve:
1-second finality time.
10,000 transactions per second (theoretical maximum of 12,500 TPS).
What Are the Advantages of ENI?
100x improvement over traditional EVM.
Unlocks a new design space for application developers.
Significantly reduces costs for everyday users to access EVM.
