Protocol Architecture
A deep dive into the layered architecture that powers Maya Blockchain, from application logic to Ethereum settlement.
Maya Blockchain — Layered Architecture Visualization
Layer Breakdown
Application Layer
Decentralized applications, smart contracts, and user-facing interfaces built on top of Maya Blockchain.
DeFi ProtocolsNFT MarketplacesDAO GovernanceToken Bridges
Execution Layer
The EVM-compatible execution environment that processes transactions and executes smart contract bytecode.
EVM RuntimeAccount Abstraction (ERC-4337)Custom PrecompilesState Management
Consensus Layer
The optimistic rollup mechanism that batches transactions and submits fraud proofs to Ethereum for final settlement.
SequencerFraud Proof SystemBatch SubmissionChallenge Protocol
Data Availability Layer
Transaction data is posted to Ethereum via EIP-4844 blobs, ensuring anyone can reconstruct the chain state.
