L28

🎯 What is L28?

L28 is a revolutionary blockless distributed ledger that achieves instant transaction finality without using blocks. Unlike traditional blockchains that bundle transactions into blocks and wait for confirmations, L28 processes each transaction independently through a distributed hash table (DHT) and Avalanche consensus mechanism.

🚀 Why Blockless?

The Problem with Blocks

Traditional blockchains have inherent limitations:

• Block Time: Bitcoin takes ~10 minutes per block, Ethereum ~12 seconds
• Block Size: Limited transactions per block creates congestion
• Confirmation Delays: Need multiple blocks for security
• Wasted Computation: Mining/validation happens even with no transactions

The L28 Solution

L28 eliminates blocks entirely:

• DHT-Based State: Distributed hash table locates transaction state instantly
• Sharding: Network partitioned into shards for parallel processing
• Avalanche Consensus: Each transaction achieves consensus independently
• Event-Driven: Only processes when there are actual transactions

🏗️ Architecture

Layer 1: DHT (Distributed Hash Table)

The DHT layer provides instant state location. When a transaction arrives, the system uses consistent hashing to determine which shard handles it, then queries the DHT to find the responsible node.

Transaction → Hash → Shard Assignment → DHT Query → Node Routing

Layer 2: Sharded State

The network is partitioned into 4 shards (expandable). Each shard handles a portion of the transaction space, enabling parallel processing.

Layer 3: Avalanche Consensus

Each transaction achieves finality through Avalanche's sub-sampled voting protocol. Nodes query random peers and reach consensus in milliseconds.

Layer 4: Autonomous Agents

Three autonomous agents maintain and evolve the system:

• CrawlerAgent: Discovers and validates network participants
• SeoAgent: Optimizes system visibility and content
• AutoDevAgent: Generates code and system improvements
