Introduction to Cipherem

Welcome to Cipherem 🚀🔗

Cipherem is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain that leverages Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) within our core technology to provide unparalleled scalability, privacy, and interoperability. By innovating further on zkEVM, zkTrie and a couple other innovations, we can accelerate towards unparalleled performance and security. It is built to support a wide range of applications and aims to meet the needs of the next billion users.

EVM-Compatible vs EVM-Equivalent

EVM-Compatible

An EVM-compatible blockchain supports interoperability with Ethereum's smart contracts and tools but does not replicate the entire EVM environment. Cipherem supports Ethereum’s smart contract languages and tools to facilitate easier porting of applications and assets, though some differences in functionality, performance, or security may exist.

EVM-Equivalent

An EVM-equivalent blockchain replicates the full functionality of the Ethereum Virtual Machine, providing a seamless transition for developers and users from Ethereum. Cipherem's zkEVM ensures full compatibility with Ethereum's ecosystem, making it easy to migrate dApps, smart contracts, and assets with minimal changes.

Specs and Key Features

Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM)

Cipherem introduces the zkEVM, which integrates the scalability benefits of zk-rollups with the functionality of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This combination enhances privacy and exponentially increases scalability without compromising Ethereum's programmability.

zkTrie Data Structure

Cipherem innovates beyond traditional Merkle trees with zkTrie, a new data structure that offers unmatched efficiency and security. By using zero-knowledge proofs for data verification, zkTrie ensures fast and secure transactions while maintaining network integrity and privacy.

Off-Chain AI Network Monitoring

Cipherem incorporates off-chain AI to monitor network performance. AI bots automatically detect and respond to anomalies, ensuring optimal network health and demonstrating Cipherem's commitment to integrating cutting-edge technologies.

More Key Features

• Optimized Parallel Transaction Processing: Cipherem can handle many transactions at once both horizontally and vertically, significantly improving throughput and efficiency.
• zkEVM-Powered Performance: By integrating zk technology with EVM, Cipherem enhances transaction privacy and reduces computational load, while maintaining compatibility with existing Ethereum smart contracts.
• Toolchain Compatibility: Developers can use familiar Ethereum tools and programming languages, making it easy to create and deploy applications on Cipherem without disrupting existing workflows.
• Interoperability: Cipherem's General Messaging Protocol (GMP) enables seamless cross-chain operations, allowing different blockchains to exchange data and execute transactions efficiently.
