Vision

DeFi will become the default venue for all finance. The scarce resource will not be blockspace. It will be distribution and access. Onboarding today is broken: users fight through KYC, fragmented ramps, and endless venue hopping. Liquidity is stranded in single-venue silos and retail vaults that cannot behave like real multi-venue market makers. Hotstuff L1 tackles both sides at the protocol level.

System Architecture

ComponentPurpose
DracoBFT EngineOptimized for orderbook state with sub-second finality.
Validator SetCompetitive financial access points, not just block producers.
Vault LayerMulti-venue trading firm behavior, not single-venue silos.
Routing FabricDistribution graph of users, validators, venues, and rails.
This is why Hotstuff L1 is not “another perp DEX” or “just another L1.” It is an opinionated DeFi operating system for global finance:
  • A DracoBFT engine optimized for orderbook state.
  • A validator set upgraded into financial access points.
  • A vault layer designed to behave like a multi-venue trading firm.
Perpetual and spot markets are just the first surface area. The real asset is the routing fabric: the distribution graph of users, validators, venues, and rails that sits underneath every DeFi integration that wants zero-friction onboarding and deep, multi-venue liquidity.
