Layer 2 Architecture

Trayon is a decentralized Layer 2 built with Polygon CDK (Chain Development Kit), optimized for high-availability data capture and validation, real-time AI oracle processing, and low-cost transactions secured by Ethereum through ZK-proofs.

The layered stack

The protocol is organized into four layers, top to bottom:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Application Layer                              │
│  GovTech · Corporate · Judicial · Markets       │
└────────────────┬────────────────────────────────┘
                  │
┌─────────────────▼───────────────────────────────┐
│  Trayon Smart Contracts (Solidity)               │
│  Oracle Manager · Validator Registry · TRAY      │
└─────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘

Sequencer node

The sequencer orders incoming transactions, builds batches (capped at 2,000 transactions per batch), computes the resulting state root, and coordinates the consensus round with validators before finalizing a block.

Mempool Manager → Block Producer → Consensus Coordinator → Settlement & ZK Proving
   (order, fee)     (batch, root)     (broadcast, quorum)     (proof, L1 batch)

Validator node

Each validator runs an EVM-compatible state machine, a consensus handler, a stake manager with slashing logic, and an AI processing pipeline that independently verifies proposed data before signing off with a BLS partial signature.

Settlement to Ethereum

Batches are proven with ZK-SNARKs and submitted to Ethereum L1 through Polygon CDK, inheriting Ethereum's security guarantees while keeping transaction costs low and throughput high on Layer 2.

See Consensus for the full round timing and slashing conditions, and Oracle & AI Validation for how data is verified before it reaches the sequencer.
