The Technology Behind Torus Chain
An innovative EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain combining aBFT, DAG, and DPoS for unmatched speed, security, and scalability in the digital media landscape.
How Torus Works
Torus Chain combines three proven technologies — Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance, Directed Acyclic Graph, and Delegated Proof-of-Stake — into a single, cohesive consensus layer that delivers enterprise-grade performance with decentralized security.
Asynchronous BFT (aBFT)
Provides Byzantine fault tolerance without relying on timing assumptions, ensuring consensus even with malicious nodes.
Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)
Transactions are structured in a DAG for parallel processing, enabling massive throughput without bottlenecks.
Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS)
Token holders delegate their TQF to validators, creating an energy-efficient and democratized consensus mechanism.
EVM Compatibility
Full Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility means your existing Solidity contracts deploy without any modifications.
Chain Architecture
A three-layer architecture designed for maximum throughput and developer experience.
Network Layer
P2P networking, node discovery, transaction propagation, and DAG-based block ordering.
Consensus Layer
aBFT + DPoS consensus, validator management, epoch handling, and reward distribution.
Execution Layer
Full EVM compatibility, smart contract execution, state management, and gas processing.
TQF Token Economics
TQF is the native utility token powering the Torus Chain ecosystem, meticulously designed to promote fairness, stability, and long-term value appreciation.
