Sunrise

The Next Generation of Liquidity and Sovereignty

Sunrise is a specialized data availability layer for proof of liquidity, which enhances liquidity and sovereignty for developers.

Build with Sunrise

Sunrise is the data availability layer with unique functionalities that enhance modular blockchain development and provide a comprehensive solution to scalability for modern blockchains.

Monolithic blockchains can't scale.

A monolithic chain is a generalist blockchain that performs all tasks. Overall, the monolithic approach is to “do everything yourself”. However, this approach is expensive, not customizable, and not scalable. It's extremely slow to build and deploy modern applications directly on monolithic chains. It's an outdated formula, ready for disruption.

The modular paradigm is already here.

A modular blockchain differs from a monolithic chain in that its four main functions can each be offloaded to a separate layer. Sunrise is an example of a blockchain that specializes in fulfilling the function of data availability (“DA”) and consensus, while offloading the responsibility of execution and settlement to a different network. By using this structure, Modular Blockchains are more efficient, customizable, scalable, sovereign...

What will you build in a modular future?

Sunrise provides a fast and secure data and consensus layer that gives you all you need to launch a sustainable modular blockchain. Sunrise is a global DA layer, originating in Japan. The Japan blockchain ecosystem is robust, but it is also technologically insulated. By introducing modularity to Japan, Sunrise will promote a modular future and become the chief DA Layer for Japan before expanding globally. With Sunrise, your chain can become scalable and sovereign, giving you the freedom to build your chain anyway you want. Sunrise’s DA layer supports any execution environment, empowering you to create next-gen blockchain solutions.

The unique value of Sunrise

Sunrise brings further innovation to the modular paradigm by introducing unique functionality like DA Fee Abstraction and Sovereign Proof of Liquidity. Sunrise resolves singular token dependency by allowing users of its DA layer to pay for gas fees with “any token”. Tokens received by Sunrise are locked in long term, preventing selling pressure against fees received and earning yield for Sunrise stakers. Sunrise also resolves the liquidity issue faced by sovereign rollups by “Sovereign Proof of Liquidity”, which incentivizes governance participants and liquidity providers. Pairing the LST of Sunrise token with the sovereign rollup’s native token creates a mutual feedback loop that simultaneously enhances liquidity and security for both the Sunrise DA layer and any rollup deployed onto it. Together, these unique functions supercharge Data Availability while enhancing liquidity and sovereignty for developers.

Build better blockchains, more easily and efficiently than ever before.

Building blockchains doesn't have to be complicated. Develop intuitively with data availability for the modular future.

Easy to use

No need to bootstrap your own validator set, deploy easily onto Sunrise and benefit from shared security.

Scalable

Modular blockchains scale easily so developers using Sunrise will not have to worry about infrastructure.

Flexible

Sunrise supports any blockchain execution environment, enabling devs to innovate.

Sovereign Proof of Liquidity

Projects can incentivize both those who participated in governance and who provided liquidity for the tokens.

Fee Abstraction

Sunrise enables projects to pay any tokens as gas fees for using Sunrise.

What you can build with Sunrise

Sunrise is the comprehensive solution to problems faced in modern blockchain development.

Optimium / Validium

A type of zero-knowledge rollup that posts its data off-chain rather than to its parent chain. The off-chain environment that data is posted to a separate chain, such as Sunrise. They save up to 90% of gas fees when compared to rollups that post data directly to Ethereum and they can pay any tokens as gas fees for AltDA.

Sovereign Rollups

A sovereign rollup is a type of blockchain that publishes its transactions to another blockchain, typically for ordering and data availability, but handles its own settlement. The Sovereign rollups are responsible for execution and settlement, while the DA layer handles consensus and data availability.

Sovereign Proof of Liquidity

The LST of Sunrise and the AMM LP share of the Sovereign Rollup native tokens will be the voting power of the Sovereign Rollup Settlement Committee. In other words, LP rewards and Proof of Stake rewards are given to users for LPing and improved security. (e.g. GLU/stSR)
