Omni Network is a blockchain platform that enables developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) across multiple Layer 2 networks while benefiting from Ethereum’s security. It utilizes Cosmos SDK tools and EigenLayer infrastructure to enhance interoperability and security between different Layer 2 ecosystems.

The rapid growth of Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, along with the introduction of Layer 3 networks (like Optimism, Arbitrum, and StarkNet), has led to liquidity fragmentation across ecosystems. Developers currently face two challenges when building dApps:

1. Deploying on a single chain: This requires users to bridge assets across chains, creating complexity and reducing user adoption.

2. Building multichain applications: While this enables smart contracts to interact across chains, it introduces security risks and adds design complexity.

Omni Network addresses these challenges by offering a blockchain with seamless interoperability across ecosystems. This solution allows applications to access liquidity and users from multiple networks without modifying existing smart contracts.

1. Dual Staking Model
   Omni Network uses a dual-layer architecture comprising:

   • Consensus Layer: Focuses on achieving agreement among validators across connected rollups. It is powered by CometBFT and uses a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) mechanism. Users can stake liquid restaking tokens (such as ezETH or pufETH via EigenLayer) to enhance network security and earn rewards.

   • Execution Layer (Omni EVM): Responsible for processing transactions using Ethereum-compatible infrastructure (e.g., Geth, Besu). This layer also supports EIP-1559 fee models, optimizing transaction costs for users.

2. Integrated Consensus for Scalability

   • Omni separates consensus from transaction execution, reducing network congestion and increasing transaction reliability. Validators manage the state of transactions uniformly across networks using tools like ABCI++ and Engine API.

3. Cross-Rollup Validation

   • Omni validator nodes use CometBFT to validate cross-rollup messages and transactions. These nodes ensure secure interactions by utilizing OMNI tokens and liquid restaking tokens from users.

• Interoperability Across Layer 2s: Enables easy integration with various ecosystems without modifying existing contracts.

• High Throughput and Low Fees: Omni EVM processes transactions efficiently, preventing network overload and minimizing transaction costs.

• Enhanced Security via Liquid Staking: Users can delegate staking tokens to validators, boosting network security while earning staking rewards.

• Seamless Cross-Network Transactions: Omni’s architecture ensures smooth interactions between rollups and eliminates liquidity fragmentation.

Omni Network offers a scalable, interoperable solution for developers, overcoming the challenges of liquidity fragmentation and complex multichain design. By utilizing a dual-layer model with integrated consensus, Omni ensures high performance, security, and easy access to liquidity across multiple networks.
