Muta is a layer 2 on CKB, which uses CKB as the value and security anchor to extend user scenarios and scalability.
Performance: Being tested on a network with 21 nodes, Muta achieved a steady TPS of 4000 with finality of 3 seconds, and the network can keep processing at this speed. This is much better than any other PoS network or blockchain using BFT consensus. For example, EOS once achieved a peak rate of 3500 and sustained at a steady rate around 1000. However, for finality they need to wait 180 blocks, while Muta only requires 1 block.
Customizable: Developers can customize PoA, PoS or DPoS chains based on Muta, and use different economic models and governance models. Developers can also develop different application chains (such as DEX) based on Muta to implement any specific business logic. (e.g. the regulator-friendly Huobi finance chain)
Interoperability: Muta supports different virtual machines, including CKB-VM, EVM, and WASM and it has interoperability across these VMs. Different virtual machines can be used in a Muta-based blockchain at the same time.
As a highly customizable high-performance blockchain framework, Muta provides a basic core component that a blockchain system needs, and developers can customize the functional parts of the chain freely. We hope Muta can play a pioneering role in the adoption of CKB.
