Yona Architecture

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.
