# About ENI ENI is an enterprise-grade, ultra-high performance modular L1 featuring infinite TPS, built specifically for mass commercial adoption. At its core, the ENI Matrix architecture (Mainnet + Hub + AppChain) works in tandem with a proprietary Hyper-ordered Parallel Engine to enable global-scale parallel execution and real-time on-chain settlement. As a Quantum-Computing-Grade L1, ENI decouples business logic from regulatory requirements, empowering enterprises to deploy custom AppChains under a unified governance framework. Beyond the protocol, ENI serves as the "Chief Architect" for enterprise on-chain migration. We provide a full-stack suite of strategic consulting, custom development, regulatory compliance, and business expansion services, ensuring a frictionless transition for real-world assets and operations to move on-chain. ## 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
