The next Sunrise protocol
The blockchain thatrises on demand.
Sunrise Edge is the world’s first serverless Layer 1 — a blockchain designed to run on demand across edge functions, cloud functions, and traditional servers.
The next-generation Sunrise protocol is currently under active development.
Built for the edge
A lighter way to run a Layer 1.
Sunrise Edge separates blockchain safety from process lifetime. The result is an architecture made for elastic infrastructure, high-throughput execution, and open contract development.
Validators become event-driven state machines instead of always-on processes. Run only when work arrives, keep infrastructure lean, and spend less time maintaining idle servers.
The throughput mindset of Solana meets the object-centric clarity of Sui. Declared state access unlocks deterministic conflict detection and scalable parallel transaction processing.
Deterministic, metered WebAssembly gives developers a portable contract target with a Rust-first SDK — without binding the protocol to one cloud or execution environment.
Previous Sunrise
At the v2.0.0 upgrade on 5 October 2026, height 6,504,000, the network, app, and explorer stop. The existing app will no longer be available after shutdown.
Holdings on that network are carried over to Sunrise Edge. You do not need to move funds or use the previous app before shutdown. The previous site remains available at cosmos.sunriselayer.io until then.
