TantinChain: Creating "Solana" for Asian Users

User scale expansion and rich application scenarios still face numerous issues in the public chain track: even leading Layer 1 chains encounter problems such as network congestion, transaction delays, and soaring Gas fees when faced with large-scale user influx and high-frequency interactions. In the past few years, chains like Solana and ETH have experienced "chain congestion" and "user loss" during the peak of the bull market. Even during periods of low trading volume, a large amount of on-chain resources are statically allocated and wasted; once trading volume surges, the chain cannot quickly scale up. This disconnect between resource scheduling and actual demand has become a significant obstacle to the large-scale popularization of on-chain applications.

Globally, Asia has become a core region for cryptocurrency and Web3 adoption. According to a report by Foresight Ventures and Primitive Ventures, Asia accounts for 60% of global crypto users and contributes the largest share of global liquidity. Additionally, research from Consensus shows that by 2024, the adoption rate of digital assets in the Asia-Pacific region will reach 22%, nearly three times the global average, with Thailand, India, and the Philippines having adoption rates of 44%, 34%, and 32%, respectively, indicating a high acceptance of digital assets in the region.

Despite this, existing mainstream Layer 1 chains, although having some Asian faces in their teams and leaning towards Asian community building, still have their discourse power and scenario design predominantly led by Western faces. Truly localized public chains that adapt to the habits of Asian internet users and the high-frequency characteristics of transactions are extremely scarce—yet Asia has over 4 billion internet users globally, and these users should be considered and integrated into the Crypto world.

All these issues point to a core need:

A chain that can dynamically adapt to the demands of massive users and high-frequency interactions, possesses efficient resource scheduling capabilities, and truly centers on the Asian market, bridging digital traffic and on-chain economy as the next-generation infrastructure.

In response, Tantin Chain has proposed their solution: to create "Solana for Asian users."

Tantin: Creating "Solana for Asian Users"

The key to Solana's success is not performance, but rather that it accomplished two things:

• It made the "chain" run fast and cheaply.
• It enabled "users" to truly use it, from wallets, NFTs to games and memecoins.

Tantin Chain aims to achieve the same in Asia, but in a more authentic and grounded manner—Tantin Chain is built by an experienced core team, which includes core members from leading Web3 projects such as Binance, OKX, Optimism, and Movement (including early developers of the Movement mainnet), as well as elite personnel from traditional giants like Alipay, TikTok, SeaMoney, and J&T Express. Since its launch, the project has received strategic support from top family offices in Hong Kong and Singapore, as well as over 10 anonymous individual investors deeply involved in Web3. These investors not only provide long-term financial backing but also maintain close cooperation with the team in node construction, ecosystem expansion, and global resource coordination, placing Asia as the top priority from day one.

Through building blockchain laboratories with local universities and hosting hackathons, Tantin Chain will actively participate in local ecosystem construction in Asia, nurturing local developers and user communities. At the same time, Tantin Chain will support various local stablecoins and fiat channels in the future, such as USDT, USDC, XSGD, PHPx, etc., supporting local clearing and payment interfaces to facilitate cross-border payments and asset management, ensuring usability off-chain and trustworthiness on-chain.

Compared to traditional Western public chain projects, Tantin Chain will truly delve into every corner of Asia to hold events and build developer ecosystems on the ground, rather than stopping at Dubai or Singapore. Currently, Tantin Chain has planned or is planning developer meetups in the following regions:

East Asia: Tokyo, Fukuoka, Seoul, Hong Kong, Macau, Taipei

Southeast Asia: Singapore, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Hanoi, Da Nang, Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Manila, Cebu, Yangon, Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville

South Asia: Bangalore, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Dhaka, Colombo

Central Asia: Almaty, Nur-Sultan, Tashkent

Middle East: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh

…

Starting from the Five Core Architectures

In Tantin Chain's design philosophy, the chain is not just a tool for settlement and proof, but a "self-regulating real-time interaction platform."

To achieve this goal, Tantin Chain believes that a future-oriented public chain should possess the following three core capabilities:

• High-performance composable modules: dynamically adapt to different application scenario needs.
• User-friendly cross-chain experience: hide underlying complexity and enhance interaction smoothness.
• Future-oriented AI collaborative governance capability: achieve intelligent optimization and scheduling of the chain itself.

Based on this concept, Tantin Chain adopts a modular layered design and has constructed five core architecture modules:

Dynamic Sharding Engine (DSE):

Unlike traditional static sharding, which can easily lead to load imbalance and resource waste, Tantin Chain introduces machine learning models that can identify different types of transaction load characteristics (such as DeFi, NFT, GameFi) in real-time across different time periods, and dynamically adjust sharding boundaries every second using reinforcement learning algorithms. During peak periods, the chain can elastically expand to 256 shards and automatically reduce during low periods, truly achieving on-demand scaling. Additionally, through parallel asynchronous communication and Merkle cache optimization, even cross-shard transactions can maintain a latency of 250ms to 350ms, providing a smoother user experience.

PoSA+ Consensus Mechanism:

Tantin Chain combines the staking incentives of PoS with the high-performance advantages of PoA, while also introducing VRF random number generation and BLS multi-signature technology to effectively prevent collusion and manipulation among validating nodes. Node elections are based on governance voting and activity scoring, ensuring that the network is protected by the most reliable nodes. Furthermore, the AI scheduler will intelligently optimize the rotation rhythm and geographical layout of validators based on the actual operation of the chain, ensuring that the block generation process remains fast and stable while guaranteeing security.

Multi-Virtual Machine Parallel Execution Engine:

This component allows Tantin Chain to seamlessly deploy Solidity smart contracts from the Ethereum ecosystem (EVM++), support more secure and finely managed Move language contracts (MoveVM), and even provide a WASM programming environment close to hardware optimization for high-performance applications. Different virtual machines interoperate through a unified ABI bridge protocol, combined with a Gas abstraction mechanism, ensuring fair and reasonable resource allocation, allowing developers to freely choose the best development stack and quickly implement various complex applications, making Tantin Chain a truly open, compatible, and diverse development platform.

Intelligent Resource Scheduling System (IRS):

By continuously learning the changing patterns of on-chain transactions, the IRS can dynamically predict network load and adjust the allocation of computing, storage, bandwidth, and other resources in real-time, enabling rapid scaling in hot areas and automatic contraction in cold areas. This not only avoids resource waste but also ensures that DApps can still provide a stable user experience under high load, truly achieving the "water, electricity, and gas" style of basic support for the on-chain world.

Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CIP):

Breaking down the barriers between isolated chains, allowing assets, data, and messages to flow freely in a multi-chain world. Tantin Chain adopts a lightweight cross-chain verification mechanism and a decentralized relay network, combined with zero-knowledge proofs and off-chain pre-verification technology, significantly reducing the latency and cost of cross-chain transactions. At the same time, users do not need to switch wallets or manually configure cross-chain parameters, making the entire process nearly seamless, truly achieving "smoothness between chains as if they were the same chain."

Enabling Developers to Quickly Jump into the "Rabbit Hole"

The design and practice of technology ultimately serve users and the community, and on the developer side, Tantin Chain's mission is:

To enable any developer—whether familiar with Solidity, Move, or Rust—to deploy a DApp on Tantin Chain within 30 minutes and connect to cross-chain traffic and incentive systems within 24 hours.

To this end, Tantin Chain has built a highly compatible smart contract execution environment through EVM++ (enhanced Ethereum virtual machine), allowing developers to seamlessly migrate existing Ethereum DApps while gaining higher performance, lower Gas costs, and enhanced cross-chain interoperability. In addition to natively supporting Ethereum smart contract languages like Solidity and Vyper, Tantin Chain is also compatible with MoveVM and WASM (WebAssembly), achieving cross-chain multi-ecosystem contract execution capabilities. Developers only need to make minimal code adjustments to migrate existing smart contracts to Tantin Chain and enjoy faster execution speeds and lower transaction fees.

To incentivize the long-term development of quality DApps and their underlying teams, Tantin Chain has designed a Traffic Sharing Protocol (TSP), allowing developers to benefit not only from transactions and traffic themselves but also from the overall network growth. Through TSP, developers are encouraged to optimize product experience, enhance user activity, and increase on-chain interaction frequency, further promoting ecosystem vitality.

TSP measures the contribution of DApps through a transparent metric weight model, namely:

R_DApp = α·DAU + β·TVL + γ·Interaction Frequency

This comprehensively considers three core indicators: Daily Active Users (DAU), Total Value Locked (TVL), and on-chain interaction frequency. DApp teams can choose to directly receive or lock up rewards for accelerated release, adapting to the needs of different development stages.

To further promote innovation and development within the Tantin Chain ecosystem, the foundation has established multiple incentive mechanisms, including testnet incentives and liquidity support, to assist developers, teams, and researchers in their growth at various stages. Additionally, the foundation will hold global hackathons quarterly and collaborate with over five renowned universities in Asia to build blockchain laboratories, working together to expand the Tantin Chain ecosystem.

Allowing the Community to Truly Participate in Public Chain Construction

Decentralized governance was once seen as the core mechanism for protocol self-evolution and community co-governance. However, in reality, governance mechanisms are often manipulated by a small number of large holders ("whales"), leading to imbalanced governance decisions and even malicious attacks. For example, Compound faced a governance attack in 2024 when a small group of whales purchased a large amount of COMP tokens to forcibly push through a proposal worth $24 million—despite strong opposition from other community members. Similarly, Uniswap's governance structure has also raised concerns about decentralization due to concentrated voting power among a few large holders.

These events have exposed the vulnerabilities of current governance mechanisms, especially in the absence of effective checks and balances and transparency, where a few individuals can easily control the direction and resources of the protocol.

Therefore, Tantin Chain has proposed a more radical governance structure aimed at fundamentally addressing these issues. Its governance logic essentially constructs a "self-evolving" on-chain autonomous system characterized by rapid iteration, high transparency, and the integration of AI judgment and zk privacy protection. Through this design, Tantin Chain hopes to achieve the following goals:

• Allow key upgrades without waiting.
• Automatically handle disputes.
• Ensure the community truly owns the future.

To balance technological development and community autonomy, Tantin Chain adopts a dual-track voting model, namely Technical Governance Proposals (TGP) and Ecosystem Governance Proposals (EGP), which address protocol optimization and ecosystem operations, respectively.

Technical Governance Proposals (TGP)

Tantin Chain's Technical Governance Proposals (TGP) aim to address key technical decisions at the protocol level, including consensus mechanism optimization, virtual machine upgrades, data structure optimization, security vulnerability fixes, and performance parameter adjustments. The TGP process is initiated by the technical team or node operators, and after submission, it undergoes a security review by the technical committee (review time not exceeding 7 days). After the review, validating nodes vote based on their staking amount and historical block production performance, ultimately deciding whether to approve the proposal. Once approved, the proposal will be automatically executed on-chain without waiting for community voting. This process ensures the efficiency and security of technical updates, allowing Tantin Chain to iterate rapidly like Web2 while maintaining the decentralized characteristics of Web3.

Ecosystem Governance Proposals (EGP)

Ecosystem Governance Proposals (EGP) are the tools Tantin Chain uses to handle decisions at the ecosystem level, applicable to ecosystem fund management, traffic incentive parameter adjustments, DApp support policies, community resource allocation, and more. Any address holding 1,000 CTC or more can initiate an EGP proposal. After submission, there will be a 7-day public notice period during which discussions are open. Subsequently, CTC holders participate in voting through Quadratic Voting to prevent whales from controlling proposal outcomes. Once a proposal is approved, it will be automatically executed on-chain, with full transparency and traceability. The design of EGP makes Tantin Chain's governance more democratic and transparent, ensuring that the community's voice can be efficiently translated into actual actions.

AI + zk Arbitration System

As the Crypto ecosystem continues to grow, the frequency of on-chain disputes has also significantly increased. These disputes may arise from transaction anomalies, incorrect reward allocations, or smart contract vulnerabilities. Traditional governance mechanisms often fail to provide timely and effective solutions to frequent and complex on-chain disputes, especially since manual handling can lead to delays and subjective errors.

To address this pain point, Tantin Chain will introduce AI automatic arbitration and zero-knowledge privacy verification (zk) mechanisms in the future, aiming to achieve automation, efficiency, and privacy protection in dispute resolution. The core goal of this system is to enable on-chain disputes to receive rapid responses without human intervention while ensuring that user data is not leaked, thus safeguarding privacy. The execution process of this arbitration system includes the following key steps:

Dispute Submission

In the event of an on-chain dispute, users or DApp developers can submit the dispute through Tantin Chain. During submission, users need to provide sufficient background information, including but not limited to transaction hashes, relevant contract addresses, and event logs. This information forms the basis for resolving the dispute and helps the system identify the context of the dispute. At this stage, the system will record the detailed content of the dispute and provide all necessary data for subsequent arbitration. The submitter's task is to ensure that the background information provided is complete and accurate, allowing the system to smoothly initiate the subsequent processing flow.

AI Initial Screening

After the dispute is submitted, Tantin Chain's AI arbitration model will conduct an initial screening of the case. This AI model combines machine learning (ML) with a preset rule engine to analyze the content of the dispute and determine whether it meets the processing standards. The system will automatically assess the reasonableness of the dispute and categorize it. If the dispute is deemed valid and worth resolving, the system will include it in the subsequent arbitration process. If the dispute is invalid or cannot be resolved, the system will automatically close the case. The core of this process lies in using AI technology for efficient screening, quickly identifying qualified cases and avoiding delays caused by manual intervention.

zk Proof Generation

Once the dispute is deemed valid, Tantin Chain will use zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) technology to generate proof. The key step here is to verify whether the data on the chain has been tampered with and ensure that all involved transactions or state changes are correct. During this process, zk-SNARKs can generate cryptographic proofs that ensure the on-chain data related to the dispute has not been modified while not exposing any private information. Through this technology, the system can verify the validity of all data while protecting user privacy, ensuring the security and fairness of the entire arbitration process.

AI Judgment

After generating the zk proof, the AI system will make a judgment based on historical data, the rule library, and the real-time state of the chain. The AI model combines deep learning and a rule engine to analyze the specifics of the dispute and provide solutions. Common solutions include compensation, state rollback, and reward distribution. The accuracy of AI judgments comes from its historical pattern learning and adherence to existing rules, enabling it to make logical judgments in complex dispute scenarios. AI judgments are not only efficient but also avoid biases or misunderstandings that may arise during manual processing.

Automatic Execution

Once the AI makes a judgment, the smart contract will automatically execute the judgment content. Through the automated execution of smart contracts, the entire judgment process does not rely on human intervention, ensuring the swift implementation and immutability of the judgment. The results of the execution will take effect immediately, and the state and data on the chain will be updated in real-time. The execution of smart contracts ensures the transparency and fairness of governance, with every step being traceable and verifiable by anyone. This automatic execution mechanism greatly enhances the efficiency of dispute resolution while reducing the risk of human error, further improving the stability of the blockchain ecosystem.
