Network
🌐 Network – Infraestructure Backbone
Orypton currently operates on the Base network, an Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack and developed by Coinbase. This foundational layer allows the protocol to deliver a fast, secure, and low-cost experience while remaining fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Base provides the optimal environment for Orypton's current phase of growth, offering:
Low Transaction Costs – Gas fees typically remain under $0.01, even during peak demand.
High Throughput – Built for scalability through the Optimism architecture, ensuring fast and reliable transactions.
EVM Compatibility – Full support for Solidity and Ethereum tooling, allowing seamless integration with wallets, DeFi protocols, and third-party infrastructure.
⮕ Network Security
Orypton's operations benefit from the security architecture of Base, which inherits the robustness of the Ethereum mainnet and the OP Stack design:
Rollup Security Model – Transactions are executed off-chain and periodically settled on Ethereum, inheriting Ethereum’s base-layer security guarantees.
Optimistic Proofs – Fraud-proof mechanisms ensure network integrity and verifiability of all transactions.
Non-Custodial Framework – All user interactions remain fully non-custodial: participants retain complete control over their funds, governance rights, and DAO identity.
⮕ Interoperability
Native Ethereum Bridge – Base provides a direct, low-cost bridge between Ethereum and Base, simplifying liquidity transfers and asset movement.
DeFi Ecosystem Ready – Fully compatible with MetaMask, WalletConnect, Uniswap, Aave, and other leading protocols.
Oracles & Indexers – Integrated with Chainlink, The Graph, and other essential infrastructure services to ensure reliable data and indexing.
⮕ Future Vision: Toward a Custom AppChain
While Base offers the ideal environment for Orypton's current operations, the protocol is designed for network-agnostic scalability and future modular expansion.
As adoption and protocol complexity grow, the community may choose to evolve toward launching a dedicated Orypton AppChain — a blockchain optimized for the ecosystem’s unique economic and governance dynamics, using the native token as its core asset.
AppChain Objectives:
Full infrastructure sovereignty
Custom gas fee logic (or zero-gas for specific DAO actions)
Built-in incentives for validators, voters, and contributors
Optimized throughput for vault strategies and governance operations
Technology options under review:
OP Stack (Custom L2 / Superchain integration with Base)
Cosmos SDK (sovereign chain with modular governance)
Substrate / Polkadot (shared security and parachain models)
Rollup-as-a-Service solutions (Celestia, AltLayer, etc.)
All major decisions regarding potential network migration will be proposed and approved through DAO governance.
Orypton’s multi-phase approach allows the protocol to scale with confidence—from a battle-tested Layer 2 foundation to a sovereign blockchain infrastructure that empowers every stakeholder in the ecosystem.
