Introducing Termina: the End State of SVM Scaling
TLDR; Deploy custom Solana blockspace on Solana, with Solana, or anywhere.
Solana will eventually eat all demand for blockspace.
Solana's vertically-integrated tech stack has resulted in a high-quality product for end users. The centerpiece of its architecture is the SVM, which enables maximum capacity through parallel processing.
It has the best on-chain experience with ease of use, low fees, and industry leading performance. It’s clear that Solana is the main rival to Ethereum for demand for global blockspace.
Solana blockspace demand is outpacing vertical scaling.
Solana is in the best position to become a decentralized global asset ledger. But it takes time for disruptive technology to mature to its end state.
The chain still suffers from congestion and outages. This materially impacts Solana protocols that need guaranteed uptime to grow their user bases. Demand for blockspace and need for optimizations are outpacing the ability for the Solana L1 to scale vertically.
Solana developers are already creating valuable Solana blocks, serving their users through SVM forks, side chains, and rollups. Builders want higher TPS, lower costs, and greater protocol revenue from their apps. It's evident that Solana’s traction has led to valuable innovations which cannot be implemented on mainnet alone.
Consequently, for Solana to grow further it will inevitably become an integrated ecosystem just like the internet. New Solana blockspace will lead to novel use cases and unique solutions that accelerate the overall vision of a global distributed state machine.
Enter Termina, the end state for Solana blockspace scaling.
What is Termina?
Termina is the first SVM cloud platform unlocking brand new design space for Solana developers. Its core offering is SVM+, an extended version of the base SVM, powering new gaming, trading, and DePIN use-cases. Solana builders can seamlessly deploy customizable blockspace, with the flexibility to choose block production, transaction sequencing, and state management system. Termina serves as a gateway connecting SVM rollups, chains, and new implementations to Solana.
Looking Forward
Termina is rapidly approaching devnet. Nitro Labs is looking for ambitious teams looking to deploy applications that are only possible on the SVM. We want to work closely with hardcore builders that are perpetually online and have a desire to push the boundaries of the SVM. Our mission is to make Termina the most accessible SVM platform for builders. Register for the Termina waitlist, hop in our Discord, or join our team!
The Team
Nitro Labs is composed of former Lyft, Microsoft, SpaceX, RBC, and Sei veterans dedicated to bringing the next billion users into crypto. The team is excited to innovate, advance, and onboard contributors to the Solana ecosystem.
