Architecture

Yona Network is Bitcoin's fastest Layer 2, powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). Yona Network utilizes modular architecture, combiningthe best pieces of the stack:

  • Settlement: Bitcoin - Yona settles to Bitcoin and uses BTC as its gas token.

  • Execution: Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) - Yona runs the highly performant SVM as its execution environment.

  • Data Availability - Yona Network posts its data to DA for scalable data availability (DA).

  • Proving: RISC Zero - Yona uses RISC Zero to implement ZK Bitcoin Light client and verify ZKPs for the light node proofs.

Components

There are three classes of actors in the Yona rollup architecture:

  1. Execution nodes.

  2. Historical nodes.

  3. Bridge nodes (information about this type of node - in the section ‘Yona BTC Canonical Bridge).

  4. Prover nodes.

  5. Spreading module.

  6. Proofs aggregation and comparison module.
