🧰Overall Architecture

As a multichain platform, Armonia has adopted a unique mother-and-child-chain model, as compared to the star-like models which have been adopted in many other multichain technologies like Cosmos or Polkadot:

Core Design

• AMC adopts an innovative consensus algorithm called APOS and high-performance WASM virtual machine, requiring extremely low transaction cost. AMC also adopts an account name rather than an address based onchain addressing model;

• ACC chains can be rapidly built with layer-0 and layer-1 template SDK modules and can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous;

• Other public chains like Bitcoin or Ethereum can also be included in the multichain environment to co-exist with other ACC chains; and

• All chains within the Armonia multichain environment can mirror or bridge their assets from one to another.
