As we conclude Q3 and enter the year’s final stretch, Conflux is thrilled to present its tech roadmap for the coming years. From enhanced blockchain solutions to pioneering AI integrations, this roadmap is designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Enhanced Authentic Storage
Conflux is undertaking a significant update of its internal data structures to enhance data management efficiency. The current landscape of blockchain storage, particularly seen in Ethereum’s Merkle Patricia Trie (MPT) structure, faces significant bottlenecks due to heavy Input/Output (I/O) operations that affect transaction speed and network reliability. Conflux aims to address these challenges by adopting innovative ideas from Multi-Layer Versioned Multipoint Trie (LVMT) and RainBlock. LVMT is a novel high-performance blockchain storage with significantly reduced I/O amplifications. It uses the authenticated multipoint evaluation tree (AMT) vector commitment protocol to update commitment proofs in constant time.
Layer 2 Support Expansion
Conflux will be extending its support for Layer 2 solutions with built-in native support and first-party multi-chain architecture. This initiative enhances scalability, interoperability, and security across various blockchain applications. The new approach includes built-in solutions and native support for Layer 2 extensions using diverse trust models, such as PoS, federated voting, fraud proof, and ZK proof. This enables scalability, adaptability, and endogenous interoperability across various blockchain applications.
Multiple VM and Its Integration
Conflux is breaking new ground by planning to introduce more VM spaces and then merge all spaces into a single unified space, SuperVM, allowing multiple VMs to operate on the same state space. This architectural shift simplifies the development process, enabling developers to build complex applications without deploying and maintaining contracts in multiple spaces. Users, on the other hand, will benefit from seamless account management and unified liquidity. The integration of multiple VMs offers compatibility with different programming paradigms and enhances cross-VM interactions, reducing transaction latency through VM parallelization.
Conflux’s roadmap marks a major advancement in blockchain technology, focusing on key areas like privacy, scalability, efficiency, and interoperability. These efforts are laying the groundwork for a more connected and secure blockchain ecosystem.
