Blockchain Architecture

These values represent the initial mainnet configuration. Testnet deployments may use different parameters to facilitate experimentation, and all network settings remain subject to adjustment through on-chain governance.

Network Architecture

• Framework: Cosmos SDK

• Execution Layer: Ethermint EVM

• Consensus: CometBFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerance)

• Native Token: IRL (denom: irl, 18 decimals)

• Core Modules: Asset Passport, Global Orderbook, Compliance, Staking, Native Stablecoin, Governance

• Interfaces: Ethereum JSON-RPC, WebSocket, Cosmos RPC, REST, gRPC

Consensus & Validator Set

Integra uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) model:

• Active validator set: up to 100 validators

• Bonding denom: IRL

• Minimum self-delegation: 1 IRL

• Unbonding period: 21 days

• Block time: ~6 seconds

• Finality: deterministic BFT finality at block commit, assuming less than one-third of voting power is Byzantine; in normal operation, committed blocks are not reverted.

Validators produce blocks, participate in consensus, and enforce network security. Delegators stake IRL to validators and share rewards and governance rights.

Slashing, Liveness & Security Parameters

To maintain integrity and reliability, Integra enforces strict slashing rules:

• Signed-blocks window: 100 blocks

• Minimum signed per window: 50%

• Jail time for downtime: 10 minutes

• Slash for downtime: 1% of stake

• Slash for double-signing: 5% of stake

These values may evolve, but they reflect a production-ready, institutional-grade configuration.

Developer Environment

• Solidity 0.8+ support

• Full compatibility with Hardhat, Remix, ethers.js, web3.js

• MetaMask support

• Gas estimation compatible with EVM standards

• Faucet & devtools available for testing environments

Recommended Validator Hardware

For stable validator operation:

• CPU: 4+ cores

• RAM: 8+ GB

• Storage: 500+ GB SSD

• Network: 100+ Mbps

• OS: Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+ recommended)

Validators should follow strict security practices: HSM-backed key management, sentry-node topology, hardened firewall rules, VPN-restricted access, and continuous monitoring.
