Nomos is a cutting-edge protocol designed to solve one of chain abstraction’s most difficult and pressing problems: direct dApp connectivity across diverse blockchain networks. By leveraging the IBC protocol and other solutions, Nomos enables users and projects to effortlessly connect to different dApps from their home chain without requiring any changes to the dApp's code. It supports integration with multiple chains, including ETH L2, EVM, Cosmos, SVM, MoveVM, and more, providing a smooth and integrated experience with a wide range of dApps.
Nomos' vision targets three main objectives:
Users: Solve the UX problem on Web3, making blockchain applications more user-friendly and accessible.
Developers: Enable developers to build on the chain that technically fits their needs, rather than being constrained by user adoption and liquidity issues.
Chains: Allow blockchains to focus on what they do best and what they were built for, while connecting them to other ecosystems seamlessly.
Key Concept of Nomos: Seamless dApp Connectivity
The key concept of Nomos is seamless dApp connectivity. Nomos is built differently from other chain abstraction projects, enabling it to connect to any dApp seamlessly without requiring changes to the dApp's code. You can read more about this in the Seamless Direct dApp Connectivity page.
Core Developments
Our core developments are built around three concepts:
Account Accessibility: Accounts can connect seamlessly to every dApp, allowing one account from your favorite chain to control all your assets.
Tailor-Made Smart Contracts: Smart contracts are built for specific VMs to ensure modularity and adaptability to any use case.
Secure Implementation and Optimization: Our solutions are designed with security and optimization in mind to ensure robust and efficient operations.
Key Terms for the documents:
Controller Chain: The chain that the user is working on, also known as the main chain.
Host Chain: The chain that the user is connecting to for a dApp or other purposes, where the ICA/smart account is launched and executed.
Relayer: The entity responsible for moving messages/packets across the bridge, and also for paying the gas on the other side.
Packets: The data units transmitted across the bridge between chains.
With Nomos' unique architecture, we aim to create win-win situations for both chains using chain abstraction. The use of smart accounts on the controller chain provides active users and generates gas and dApp fees, while the host chain retains the user and liquidity, also getting paid in gas fees.
Seamless Direct dApp Connectivity is a method that allows decentralized applications (dApps) to connect and interact with dApps on different blockchain networks without requiring any changes to their existing code or the need to redeploy their contracts on other chains. This approach ensures that dApps can communicate and operate across multiple blockchains effortlessly, providing a unified and efficient user experience without the complexities of multi-chain integration.
Here is how direct connect not with Nomos looks like:
Unlike other chain abstraction solutions, Nomos architecture can connect with dApps without the dApp even knowing that Nomos is integrated with them. This is possible due to Nomos' unique design, which allows seamless integration and connectivity without requiring any modifications to the dApp's existing codebase. This approach simplifies the process for developers and enhances the overall user experience by ensuring smooth interactions across different blockchain networks.
