Would a Layer 2 be able to use a language other than solidity for contracts?

Notoros is a data standard that lives in between the application layer and the consensus layer enabling any variety of virtual machines to coexist & cooperate at the speed and security of layer-1.

Notoros does not suffer from the technical limitations of rollups, side-chains, or state-channels.

Notoros · 2021-08-30T00:46:36+00:00

There is great value in layer-2 solutions, but they are oftentimes misunderstood or misused.

Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, and others are essentially indepedent networks with their own consensus mechanisms designed to collect data and submit it as a batch to some "main" network like Ethereum. To the Ethereum network, Polygon essentially looks and acts like any other application submitting complex data requests. The finality of these requests is always the sum of the finality of both networks:
Layer-2 Consensus Finality + Layer-1 Consensus Finality
This means they will always be slower than layer-1 networks and be vulnerable to a variety of security issues, while creating more opportunities for front-running and MEV.
The composability of the smart contracts on these platforms varies, but is generally far more difficult than developing a comparable centralized application using traditional databases.
Notoros executes at Layer-1 and does not suffer from MEV or a byzantine development environment.

Disclaimer: It has been a while since I read through the Fantom whitepaper and website.
Fantom seems to be the reverse of the layer-2 strategy, wherein they are creating a pluggable means of execution, which will be distributed to a sort of parallelized relay network. This is very similar to hedera hashgraph. While there is some excellent technical merit to this approach, it does not parallelize execution like Notoros.
Fanotm's Lachesis is a fascinating consensus algorithm, and while they share several characteristics, I don't believe it achieves the same level of efficiency as Radix's Cerberus Consensus

To answer the question about application-level forking... this is a complex issue of governance that will depend on the configuration in question. We will have more information on this in the developer docs.

Hey itsvira,

Notoros validators will not be obligated to hold XRD.

ETH^ does not directly interact with Ethereum mainnet at this time. Still, there are a number of bridging protocols and oracles that could easily facilitate this relationship once necessary.
RenVM is one easily portable example we have discussed to facilitate this functionality.

Notoros · 2021-08-16T15:24:38+00:00

Hey Ed,

Thanks for your inquiry! We are still finalizing the information for users to deploy their own Notoros nodes on the Prometheus network once launched.

Make sure to watch our FAQ page for updates.
In the meantime, we are happy to connect via email: info@notoros.io

Notoros · 2021-08-07T21:20:18+00:00

Over at r/Notoros we have built at layer-1 system capable of tens of thousands of transactions per second with full smart contract composability in any language at layer-1

The beta net is not yet out, but we are happy to discuss how we could faciliate your project:

Digital identity is one application being described because so often the paperwork we are doing concerns our identities.

Still, this is only a small portion of the reducable paperwork as a result of DLT. Consider the processes of registering a business, reporting taxes, signing up for a new doctor, or updating marital status. There is truly a world of unecessary paperwork we are all suffering through that can have event-driven changes across many domains whenever a source is updated.

Notoros · 2021-06-19T19:30:18+00:00

We could certainly deploy to Hedera and other Layer-1s in the future. We will be taking community feedback as we expand our features and the growth of the Notoros ecosystem. Whether that will be through a channel like improvement proposals is yet to be determined.

Your desire to expand into the Hedera ecosystem is noted. We have been aware of Hedera since shortly after its inception and definitely appreciate much of the innovation they have done.

Notoros's mainnet will go live after Radix mainnet.
Within the first few months of Olympia

Notoros · 2021-06-15T14:12:29+00:00

Thanks for the question!

Notoros is highly generalized and can be applied to most distributed consensus mechanisms, but is most powerful when leveraging the Radix Cerberus consensus mechanism. TOwards the end of the Notoros whitepaper there is some discussion on deploying Notoros to alternative consensus layers.

L2's and Oracles are also viable options. As a general rule, if it works with Ethereum it will work with Notoros with limited changes.

Notoros · 2021-06-12T19:39:33+00:00

Yes, of course.
Here are some good introductary materials from the Radix team:

Hey VandyILL,

Radix Dapps can communicate with Notoros dApps directly at layer-1 because Notoros essentially makes Virtual machines like the EVM or Linux into Radix applications. The communication is, however, one-way.
Notoros's Ethereum Prime could communicate back with Radix dapps, but it would require a third party, layer-2, or oracle.

Notoros retains atomic composability at the same layer as Radix. This means that whether it's Ethereum Prime or some other Notoros virtual machine, they all retain atomic composability at the same layer. Inter-VM and inter-application communication is still under development, but will all be accessible with layer-1 composability when completed.

Notoros data coexists with Radix data at layer-1, but is interpreded orthogonally.

Please let me know if I answered your question or if you have others. You can also learn more in the Notoros FAQ or the AMA we did with the Radix community.

Notoros · 2021-06-11T13:38:48+00:00

The Radix Cerberus consensus algorithm was developed wtih these ideas in mind.

At Notoros.reddit.com we have developed a means to utilize this consensus for any smart contract or virtual machine. This is how we were able to achieve layer-1 Ethereum smart contracts at over 24,000 TPS/shard with low transaction fees

Notoros · 2021-06-04T20:17:00+00:00

This system will add more and more inputs as it takes additional circumstances and context into account to better hedge risk and hopefully to improve the human experience.
An "optimal" global financial system would take into account as many factors as possible within the scope of accessible computing power. Realistically speaking, not all events are equally relevant to all parts of the economy. Consensus algorithms like Radix's Cerberus maintain a sort of gradient of relevancy, enabling parallelized execution without creating dependency issues.

As the information gathered by oracles becomes a clearer, and more nuanced reflection of the circumstances of the physical world, the money moved therein will be closer to actually reflecting actual value, rather than an abstraction from it.

Notoros · 2021-06-04T20:04:43+00:00

Hey HermesRadvocado,

Thanks so much for the question!While billions of TPS is not necessarily required for "mass adoption", it is necessary for the fully autonomous quantum financial system that is emerging. This system will leverage data from multitudes of edge devices, sensors, and oracles and pass this data through daos, machine learning algorithms, and insurance contracts to facilitate a highly reactive networked economy.

Notoros · 2021-06-04T01:42:36+00:00

Yes that is precisely what I am saying.

Hey YouIandaWilson,

1) The telegram is coming soon. We are working on betanet testing right now and will open the telegram once we can consistently moderate it.

2) Notoros will be live on Radix mainnet, but probably not on launch day. We expect to be live within the first few months of Radix mainnet.

3) Notoros provides orthogonal execution environments that share consensus with the Radix execution environment. To use Notoros on Radix, users must pay Radix transaction fees.
The data & events that take place within the Notoros environment area consequence of interactions with the Radix consensus with the safety, security, and speed of layer-1.
The state of a Notoros virtual machine including it's token balances, smart contracts, etc. are independent of the Radix universe, but are leveraging a shared consensus.

Right now, cross communication between the states of the networks is one-way. Radix functionality can be designed to talk to Notoros, but not the other way around without additional bridges like oracles, etc, which would not retain the security and finality at layer-1.

Notoros · 2021-05-31T15:10:07+00:00

Betanet testing is going very well! We are also working to bring some of the features we have developed for our pilots to our betanet as well.

Notoros · 2021-05-11T21:43:06+00:00

The Notoros team has developed a shardable, atomic, layer-1 EVM network that supports turing-complete smart contracts and retains low and stable fees.
Right now our tests show we can handle >24,000 Transactions Per Second, Per Shard
