Ephemeral Rollup (ER)

The Ephemeral Rollup is a high-speed sequencer that provides instant confirmations for social actions while ensuring eventual L1 finality.

Instant Confirmations

Every social action (follow, unfollow) is processed by the ER server in under 50ms. Users get immediate feedback in the UI without waiting for a blockchain transaction to confirm.

The Optimistic Flow

Frontend signs a message & submits to ER Server.

ER Server validates signature and updates local database.

Frontend receives "Success" and updates UI immediately.

L1 Settlement

The ER server batches all pending operations and settles them to Solana L1 every 10 seconds.

Batch Processing

Up to 4 operations are batched per transaction, significantly reducing transaction costs and network congestion.

Verifiable Authority

The ER server signs transactions with a registered sequencer wallet. On-chain programs verify this authority before updating state.

Failure Recovery

The ER server is designed to be highly available, but if it fails, users can always bypass it and interact directly with Solana L1.

"The ER server is a convenience layer, not a gatekeeper. If the sequencer is unreachable, the SDK automatically falls back to direct L1 transactions."
