The Mathematics of Trust
Sahyadri Core is a high-throughput, decentralized engine designed to solve the Scalability Trilemma without compromising on security.
The DAG Ledger
Unlike traditional blockchains that process one block at a time (Linear Chain), Sahyadri Core utilizes a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). This allows multiple blocks to be mined and validated simultaneously — fundamentally redefining what's possible in decentralized systems.
Sahyadri Consensus
Our proprietary consensus ordering algorithm ensures that every block has a unique, deterministic position in history — even when blocks are created in parallel. Each new block references multiple parents, creating a rich topological structure that maintains total ordering without sacrificing parallelism.
Conflict Resolution
Mathematical consensus determines transaction order with 100% certainty through our "Multi-Parent Chain Selection" algorithm. The consensus structure itself prevents double-spends through cryptographic linking and cumulative weight calculations.
Consensus Mechanism
Three layers working in harmony to deliver security, speed, and adaptability.
Proof-of-Work
The network is secured by a lightweight, ASIC-resistant hashing algorithm optimized for both CPU and GPU hardware. This ensures that anyone with a standard computer or graphics card can participate in securing the network, preventing mining monopolies and maintaining true decentralization.
The Finality Layer
Transactions reach mathematical finality within seconds through the DAG structure itself. The parallel chain architecture ensures that once a block is referenced by subsequent blocks, it becomes permanently settled — no additional layers needed.
Adaptive Difficulty
The network adjusts its mining difficulty in real-time based on the global hash rate to maintain a steady 5-10 second block interval. This ensures predictable block times regardless of network participation.
Network Topology
Sahyadri uses an advanced P2P gossip protocol. Information spreads through the network like a ripple in water, ensuring that every node is updated within milliseconds.
The protocol reduces data overhead by 40% compared to standard blockchains, allowing nodes to run on low-bandwidth connections while maintaining full network participation.
Propagation time: 180-220ms · Redundancy factor: 3x · Max peers: 64
Smart Execution Layer
Core is not just for moving value — it's for executing logic. We are building a highly optimized execution environment that supports high-speed smart contracts.
By leveraging the parallel nature of its consensus design, Sahyadri can process multiple transactions and execution flows simultaneously. Traditional blockchains process transactions sequentially — one after another. Sahyadri’s parallel architecture enables true concurrency, resulting in higher throughput, lower latency, and faster finality.
Security & Cryptography
Encryption
Industry-standard secp256k1 and Ed25519 curves are used for digital signatures. The hashing layer is designed with a forward-compatible upgrade path toward post-quantum cryptography as standardized algorithms mature.
Immutability
Once a block reaches sufficient confirmation depth (≥12 blocks), it becomes computationally impractical to alter. The DAG-based structure further strengthens immutability by referencing multiple parent blocks, increasing the cost of reorganization as confirmations grow.
DDoS Protection
Sahyadri implements native throttling at the node level to mitigate spam and denial-of-service attacks. Adaptive rate limiting is applied based on peer behavior, with optional proof-of-work required for transaction submission during periods of high network load.
Node Requirements
Sahyadri nodes are designed to run across a wide range of hardware, from low-power devices to enterprise-grade infrastructure.
