Core Technology
The Protocol
Sahyadri is a sovereign Layer 1 blockchain built on SahyadriDAG — a directed acyclic graph architecture that enables parallel block production by independent miners. Every valid block contributes to the ledger, and Sahyadri Consensus orders them into a single deterministic history with absolute finality.
The protocol operates on a hybrid Account + Crest state model. While the Account layer handles atomic balance transfers at 10,000 TPS, the Crest layer natively anchors Web5 Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). This dual-layer architecture enables rapid settlement of digital money alongside a foundational layer for self-sovereign identity.

Flash Settlement
Native coin architecture allows for near-instant settlement across the entire network.
Web5 Sovereign Identity
Native DID integration allows users to own their data and enables seamless zero-knowledge KYC via Verifiable Credentials.
The Architecture: Layered Sovereignty
SahyadriDAG — dynamic, scalable, secure.
SahyadriDAG Flow
Multiple blocks mined simultaneously — no orphaned blocks
At its core, SahyadriDAG permits independent miners to produce blocks concurrently — every valid block is accepted into the graph and ordered by Sahyadri Consensus into a single canonical history. This eliminates the orphan block problem entirely.
With a max block mass of 30,000,000 and 1-second block times, the network sustains 10,000 TPS on Proof-of-Work.

Layered Security
Protocol-level security with SahyadriX Proof-of-Work
Sahyadri enforces security at the protocol level through SahyadriX — a memory-hard Proof-of-Work algorithm requiring 16 MB of random-access memory per hash operation. This compresses the performance gap between specialized mining hardware and general-purpose devices.
