System Architecture and High-Level Design

SourceLess takes pride in its meticulously built system architecture, designed to be robust, scalable, and secure.

• SourceLess Nodes: Our ecosystem thrives thanks to dedicated validators who propose and verify blocks, ensuring the blockchain’s integrity.
• Public Ledger: Your transactions are recorded in the public ledger, creating an unforgeable history of events.
• Distributed P2P Network: We’ve embraced decentralization by operating on a decentralized network of nodes. This enhances resilience and ensures the blockchain’s reliability.
• Cryptography: Security is paramount. We utilize SHA-512 for hashing and asymmetric cryptography for signatures, safeguarding your data.
• Rate-Limiting: To thwart potential DoS attacks, we’ve implemented rate-limiting mechanisms to ensure the blockchain operates smoothly.
• Monitoring and Alerts: Real-time metrics and alerts, powered by Prometheus and Grafana to keep you informed and secure.
• Dockerization: Each module is containerized, simplifying deployment and scaling while enhancing system stability.
• Multi-Signature Transactions: For high-value transactions, we’ve introduced multi-signature requirements, adding an extra layer of security.
• Data Sharding: an innovative data sharding approach that enhances scalability by breaking data into smaller, manageable chunks across multiple servers.
• Microservices Architecture: Embracing microservices ensures that each major component operates as a separate, optimized entity within the ecosystem.
• zk13 with zk-SNARKs: To maintain transaction privacy and validation while preserving transaction details, we’ve harnessed zk-SNARKs technology.
• Batch Processing: For efficiency, SourceLess blockchain validates and adds multiple transactions to a block in a single batch, reducing latency.

GHOST — Local Device Cache and Beyond

GHOST — Local Device Cache represents a significant advancement in blockchain technology. This innovation empowers nodes to locally cache transactions and blocks, streamlining the validation and propagation process. Instead of relying on a complete data download, nodes utilize cached data for faster validation. Here’s a glimpse of what GHOST brings to the table:

Data Retrieval: Upon the release of a new block, nodes efficiently retrieve only the block header for initial validation from their local cache. If it proves valid, the complete block is fetched for thorough validation.

Cache Maintenance: To ensure data freshness, an automatic aging mechanism invalidates older cache entries, guaranteeing data reliability.

Cache Synchronization: Regular cache synchronization keeps local caches in alignment with the global state, enhancing the blockchain’s integrity.
