Having a high-performance blockchain system is a challenge - some would even say it’s impossible. Various consensus algorithms have been invented to solve the trilemma, but no substantial lift up has been achieved. Asensys attacks (and conquers) the trilemma with a unique perspective. We have identified that the root cause of the blockchain performance issue is repetition -- every single node is duplicating the workload of the entire network, unless decentralization is sacrificed.

Our solution divides and conquers the workload of the entire network with consensus zones. Transactions are processed in parallel and ledgers are maintained in partitions. Both throughput and ledger capacity scales linearly with number of zones, with just constant overhead, which makes it possible to have 10k+ TPS and carry billions of users and their activities. This goes beyond sharding, without reliance on beacons or root chain. All zones are equal, independent, homogeneous and fully decentralized.
