Omni is an Ethereum-native interoperability protocol designed to establish low-latency communication among all Ethereum rollups, enabling Ethereum to function as a highly cohesive system in the modular era. Developed by a team with rich industry experience, Omni aims to unify Ethereum's fragmented rollup ecosystem and features the following significant characteristics:
(1) Security: Interoperability protocols have long struggled to address security challenges. First-generation protocols relied on a set of trusted participants to validate and relay messages between networks, but over the years, these protocols have been breeding grounds for numerous vulnerabilities, resulting in cumulative losses exceeding $1 billion. Second-generation protocols improved upon this design by applying cryptographic economic security to the network. However, reliance on native assets may lead to unstable security guarantees. Omni introduces a new security model that leverages re-staked ETH to secure its validator set, allowing security to scale according to Ethereum L1's security budget, thereby achieving greater stability and synchronously growing with Ethereum's modular ecosystem.
(2) Sub-second verification: In order to compete with integrated blockchain platforms, Omni adopts a novel protocol architecture that achieves sub-second cross-rollup message verification. At the core of this architecture is Octane, which combines EVM with CometBFT consensus. Octane utilizes Ethereum engine APIs and ABCI++ to create clear separation between the execution and consensus environments of Omni nodes, isolating the component bottlenecks in the existing EVM<>CometBFT architecture. |
