Router Protocol

The Router chain is a Layer 1 Proof-of-Stake blockchain that leverages Tendermint’s Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus engine. The Router chain is built using the Cosmos SDK. Therefore encapsulating all the features of Cosmos, including fast block times, robust security mechanisms, and, most importantly, CosmWasm. Router chain also aims to provide a solution to the current interoperability challenges of blockchains. Validators running on the Router chain can also keep an eye on state changes on other chains and validate state changes on the Router chain. Applications on the Router chain can create their own logic to set off events in response to these changes in the external state. A trustless network of relayers can also be used by apps on the Router chain to update states on external chains. Simply explained, the Router architecture enables secure, decentralized communication between contracts on one chain and contracts on other networks.
