Silvana Architecture Layers

Silvana Architecture Layers

Settlement Layer​

The Settlement Layer handles consensus, where transactions with provable records must be validated by a validator set on L1 or L2 solutions supporting ZKP technology, including:

  • Mina
  • Zeko
  • Aleo
  • Ethereum
  • Sui
  • Solana

Silvana Core​

This layer is where the Silvana magic happens, consisting of:

Prover​

Generates ZK proofs for mutated states of provable records

Verifier​

Checks generated proofs on the verifier's (counterparty's) side

Router​

Interface for users to interact with provable records, including public schemas showing record mutable states. Links data providers with customers, intermediaries, employees and users.

Database​

Storage for provable records

ABI & API​

  • ABI handles transaction building
  • ABI API shares transaction data with clients

Silvana Network​

A decentralized network of proof-generating nodes with rewards for provers, given the substantial CPU requirements.

Application Layer​

The execution layer representing business logic for end users through modular design:

Initial Modules​

  • Transactions
  • NFT
  • Fungible Tokens
  • Mina Names (name service)

Additional basic modules will be added over time. Modules are deployed as accessible code in a mono repo. Customers and integrators can add custom modules to extend functionality.

Execution Environments​

Private Execution Environment (PXE)​

  • Local deployment of Silvana modules and Prover
  • Local proof calculation and program execution
  • On-device or local cloud deployment

Cloud Execution Environment (CXE)​

  • Access to Silvana modules and core functions in public cloud

Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)​

  • Secure cloud enclave with limited user access
  • Protection from third parties and unauthorized insiders

Integration Layer​

End users can integrate through:

  • Direct application layer access
  • API integration
  • System integrators specializing in specific domains

Silvana Agents​

AI agents enable automated interaction with Silvana modules and Core, providing:

Key Features​

  • Account abstraction with built-in user signatures
  • Scheduled transactions
  • Pre-paid transactions
  • Event-triggered transactions for event-based architecture

Agent Operation​

  1. Makes copy of module repo
  2. Uses module code and ABI for transactions
  3. Accesses zkProgram for proof rules
  4. Utilizes Prover and Verifier functions
  5. Can deploy via PXE, CXE, or TEE
