Protocol Architecture

High-fidelity 5-layer execution stack for industrial throughput.

The 5-Layer Stack

01

Solaris

Optimized QUIC transport layer for block propagation and transaction gossip.

02

DPoH Timing

Decouples timing from transaction processing via SHA-256 looping.

03

Tower BFT

A sub-second finality engine utilizing DPoH for ultra-low latency voting.

04

Sealevel

The world's first parallel smart contract runtime.

05

Cloudbreak

Horizontally scaled account database.

Solaris Networking

Kortana achieves its speed through **Solaris**, a proprietary networking protocol that replaces traditional Gossip with a directed, broadcast-optimized structure.

  • QUIC UDP Transport
  • Dynamic Sharding

Sealevel Runtime

Unlike single-threaded runtimes, Kortana's **Sealevel** runtime processes millions of transactions simultaneously.

Parallel Ops

Executing transactions in parallel across thousands of cores.

Cloud Scoping

Optimizing storage access for high-frequency RWA trades.
