All blockchain solutions are designed with cryptographic primitives, but their designs vary in terms of speed, security, and decentralization. Most have had to face the dilemma of choosing a trade-off between these qualities. Our research team’s core focus has been to devise protocols that resolve this dilemma once and for all. We’re building solutions that harness better performance at lower costs with higher degrees of decentralization and security. That’s the principal problem we’re cracking at the cryptographic and protocol design level.
Explore our solutions and how they apply with our growing series of Whitepapers.
Appchain Model
Presenting Supra Containers, a unique appchain model that creates flexible pockets of dedicated blockspace within Supra L1, reserved for current and future throughput needs of dApps. Containers gives builders a great deal of freedom and control to customize their gas fees, gas tokens, and governance. It lets them create appchain-like experiences at a fraction of the cost, with a much simpler setup process.

Oracle Protocol
Presenting our novel Distributed Oracle Agreement (DORA) protocol - a highly resilient and efficient oracle protocol.
In this paper, we describe how agreement distance allows us to redefine agreement among nodes and how leveraging State Machine Replication (SMR) allows us to tolerate Byzantine failures of up to 49% in our DORA protocol.

dVRF Protocol
Presenting Supra dVRF Service for generating verifiable random values in the Web3 ecosystem. We provide a smart-contract based flexible dVRF service framework, that is fully decentralized via a threshold cryptographic architecture.
It offers several new features - among them output-privacy, which enhances the utility of dVRF in the blockchain space and reduces the gas cost significantly.

Consensus Protocol
Introducing Moonshot, a new family of high throughput, low latency blockchain-based SMR protocols characterized by Optimistic Proposal. We primarily cover Chained Moonshot, a variant of Moonshot that relies on vote broadcasting and QC Chaining.
In our experiments, Chained Moonshot produced 54.9% higher throughput and 41.1% lower latency than Jolteon, a state-of-the-art blockchain-based SMR protocol.

Cross-chain Bridgeless Consensus
HyperNova is a trustless bridge design wherein the bridge nodes only act as relayers and NOT as validators of information so that the source and destination chain themselves validate the events from the other chain. This removal of the possibility of the corruption by the (middlemen) bridge nodes yields a higher level of security than of multi-sig bridges, of the level of source and destination chains.

Supra will be a cross-chain IntraLayer, enabling automation across Web2 and Web3 via secure and scalable smart contract interoperability — with the $SUPRA token harmonising incentives of all network participants.
In this document, we highlight Supra’s overarching vision and the expanded utility of the $SUPRA token.
We’re working on multiple, interconnected areas.
