Solon Chain · Technology | Layer-1 EVM

L1 vs L2Layer 1 or Layer 2? — Layer 1

This is the most fundamental question about Solon's positioning, and the answer is unambiguous:

Solon Solon is an independent Layer-1 blockchain — not an Ethereum Layer 2, and not an L2 of anything else.

Own block production — Solon Solon runs its own validators (Singapore + Seoul), its own ledger, its own Chain ID (51051），Transactions are packed and confirmed by Solon validators directly — Ethereum is never involved.
Own settlement — Finality comes from Solon's own consensus (PoA blocks are final on arrival) — no waiting for Ethereum mainnet.
No bridges — L2 An L2's assets are effectively receipts locked on Ethereum circulating on layer two, and bridges are the most attacked component in crypto; RWA assets on Solon are issued and transferred natively — no bridge risk exists.
Sovereign compliance layer — Whitelists (KYC), freezing and forced transfer are written into Solon's protocol-layer contracts, jointly controlled by issuers and the chain — unaffected by any external sequencer or governance.

Dimension	Solon（L1 independent chain)	Ethereum L2 (rollup)
Transaction confirmation	Solon Validators produce blocks directly — confirmed within 1 second, final on arrival	Routed through a sequencer, then waits for Ethereum finality (minutes to days)
Asset model	Native assets, issued on-chain	Bridge receipts, dependent on bridge security
Single point of failure	No sequencer; dual validators across datacenters	Most L2s run a single-operator sequencer
Compliance control	Whitelist / freeze / forced transfer in the protocol layer	Constrained by base layer and sequencer
Best for	RWA securitization needing asset sovereignty and compliance control	General transactions seeking Ethereum security

ConsensusConsensus & security

Solon adopts Clique PoA（Proof of Authority) consensus: permissioned validators take turns producing final-on-arrival blocks — the standard choice for institutional RWA (same family as Polygon PoE, early BNB and most consortium chains), because securities settlement demands determinism， — not probabilistic bets.

Dual validators · cross-datacenter resilience

Validator A — Singapore datacenter（also runs the faucet)
Validator B — Seoul datacenter（also runs the portal and RPC)
Both nodes produce blocks in turns，if either goes down the other keeps producing blocks — the chain never stops

Deterministic finality

PoA final on arrival, no reorgs
confirmation latency ≈ 1–2 seconds (1–2 blocks)
vs PoW: no 6-confirmation wait of ~1 hour (Ethereum)
Mainnet plan: validator admission committee + multisig governance, opening after dual audits and penetration testing

The following are measured testnet parameters (reproduce them with JSON-RPC in the

Metric	Value	Notes
Block time	1 s	fixed 1 second per block (verified live above)
Transaction confirmation latency	1–2 s	final on arrival (PoA deterministic finality), no 6-confirmation wait
Block gas limit	30,000,000	measured value, same spec as Ethereum mainnet
Theoretical peak throughput (transfers)	≈ 1,400 TPS	30M ÷ 21,000（ERC-20 gas per transfer) × 1 block/s
Contract-interaction throughput	≈ 150–600 TPS	estimated at 50K–200K gas per call (RWA transfers with compliance checks)
EVM compatibility	London	bytecode-compatible with Ethereum; MetaMask / ethers / Hardhat work out of the box
Chain ID	51051	hex 0xC76B
Validators	2（testnet)	mainnet will scale to a validator committee

ArchitectureNetwork architecture

The execution layer is Geth (Go-Ethereum, same lineage as Ethereum nodes) with the EVM London instruction set; Singapore and Seoul form the consensus network.

Native TokenNative token SLN

Symbol / decimals：SLN · 18 decimals (ETH-equivalent, zero tooling changes)
Current stage：Testnet token, no value，10 free SLN per address per day from the faucet
Uses：Pays gas for on-chain transactions; on testnet, used to verify deployments, transfers and contract interactions
Mainnet plan：SLN SLN will be the gas token and on-chain governance credential; allocation and vesting rules ship with the mainnet whitepaper (after dual audits)
Note：RWA tokens circulating on-chain (e.g. the STT sample) are independent contract assets — distinct from SLN

Why SolonWhy 'Solon'

「In 594 BC, Solon's Seisachtheia abolished debt bondage; 2,600 years later, we write the same conviction into code.

Solon Chain Bonds, credit and receivables flow compliantly, transparently, 7×24 — debt is a tool, not shackles.
