On January 26, Ava Labs shared a brief overview of the development, which is designed to make the blockchain smoother and faster. The upgrade, called Vryx, will help process 100,000 transactions per second (TPS). This development addresses one of the most important and long-standing challenges of blockchain technology: scaling networks to handle larger transactions without sacrificing security or decentralization. Ava Labs plans to deploy this technology on the HyperSDK testnet, a set of tools for building high-performance blockchains, by the second quarter of 2024.
The key to this upgrade is a complex system called Decoupled State Machine Replication (DSMR). Essentially, DSMR changes the way transactions are processed. Usually transactions and their verification are tightly linked, now they will be separated. Typically, blockchain transactions are verified and approved (or executed) through a step-by-step process called State Machine Replication (SMR). Vryx’s DSMR will change this by allowing transactions to be distributed and sequenced before they are verified. This will help increase transaction speed (or throughput), allowing more transactions to perform simultaneously.
This system can allow invalid transactions (transactions that should not be processed because there are no fees charged for them) to propagate throughout the network, which can clog it with unnecessary data. Vryx plans to solve this problem by ensuring that only fee-paying transactions circulate, saving resources and maintaining system efficiency.
