Next-generation infrastructure to settle value instantly. Built-in privacy. Agent-native. Currently in private development with partners.
How It Works
Both parties sign every state update. Transfers backed by locked funds. Netting compresses thousands of operations into one settlement.
DAG consensus with permissionless validators. Leaderless — no single sequencer. Settlement batches, MEV-free clearing, force-settlement adjudication.
Thousands of operations compress into a single settlement. The rest stays private.
Why Not a Blockchain?
Alice sends Bob $5. 1,000 validators vote on it. Why?
Single ordering = extraction. It's structural, not a bug.
Chain succeeds → token rises → gas rises. Users lose.
Technology
Fixed-price fees in stablecoins. The chain's success never makes it harder to use.
Batch clearing at uniform price. Ordering is irrelevant. Front-running is structurally impossible.
Leaderless. No single sequencer. Optimistic in 50ms. BFT final in 900ms. Formal proofs completed.
Protocol-level CLOB. Price-time priority. Sub-ms order management via edges. Not a smart contract.
Edge operations are private between two parties — root never sees them. Three tiers: transparent, confidential, and fully shielded with ZK proofs.
Scale
Every new edge adds capacity. There is no ceiling.
Privacy
Edge operations are invisible to everyone except the two parties — structurally, not cryptographically. For root-layer settlements, three privacy tiers let you control exactly what the world sees.
Thousands of operations between two parties net to one settlement. Root sees a fraction of the gross volume. The data simply doesn't exist anywhere else.
No encryption needed. No ZK overhead. Privacy is a consequence of the architecture.
Transparent for public DeFi. Confidential for hidden amounts via Pedersen commitments. Private for fully shielded operations through ZK proofs and a protocol-native shielded pool.
You choose per edge. The ratchet only tightens — never loosens.
Prove specific facts to auditors and regulators — "I paid invoice X" or "my balance exceeds Y" — without revealing anything else.
Cryptographic proofs. Unforgeable. Stronger than bank records.
Agent Native
AI agents need to transact thousands of times per hour with predictable costs. Ferros gives them sub-millisecond bilateral transfers, scoped delegation, and streaming payments — all enforced by the protocol.
Fast enough for real-time multi-agent coordination and x402 payments.
$100/day limit enforced by the protocol. Not the software. Not the agent.
Set rules. Go offline. The protocol executes. Your agent doesn't need 100% uptime.
Fixed stablecoin fees. No auctions. No surprises. Budget a year in advance.
Cudo Lang
Solidity doesn't know what contention is. Cudo does. Declare how your state is accessed — the compiler verifies it, the infrastructure routes automatically. Reentrancy, double-spends, and resource leaks are killed at compile time.
