Google Patents WO2009015623A1 - Biological effect monitoring by means of transgenic hydra More information on Hydra will be available at the Cardano Summit scheduled to happen on the 25th-26th of September 2021.WO2009015623A1 - Biological effect monitoring by means of transgenic hydra “Hydra is a layer 2 scalability solution that seeks to address all these concerns and aims to maximize throughput, minimize latency, incurring low to no costs, and greatly reducing storage requirements.” A Layer 2 solution like Hydra will mitigate against these problems in the future. Hydra will help to set these fees to a low enough point that it is not a problem for its users, while also preventing the fees from being low enough to encourage Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.Īs the transaction history grows on the Cardano network, storage will become a problem over time. This comes in the form of setting a fee structure that is both acceptable for the stake pool operator community, given that Cardano runs on proof-of-stake and fees that users deem acceptable. The Layer 2 protocol will not only help to scale the network but will also help to bring down fees to a sustainable level. Why Hydra Is Important For CardanoĪs things like decentralized finance (DeFi) make their way into the Cardano ecosystem, it is imperative for the network to provide suitable fee structures and security on the blockchain. Hydra will work side by side with Cardano’s existing Layer 1 solution to provide a smooth user experience.

This Layer 2 solution will provide the much-needed scalability that is required for networks with high use rates to maintain the required throughput for applications built on the blockchain. This puts things like NFTs, native assets, and Plutus scripting directly into a Hydra Head, which acts basically as an extension of the current existing system.

These are referred to as Heads by the developers. Hydra uses isomorphic state channels which basically will use the same ledger representation over and over again to provide uniform, off-chain ledger siblings.

Hydra is a Layer 2 blockchain solution built to run on top of the existing Layer 1 blockchain on Cardano. This is why the release of the Hydra Layer 2 solution is important to the ecosystem. Even as developers outside of the main Cardano project develop their own solutions and protocols that run on the network, IOHK is continuing its work in making the network more scalable and safe for its users. The Cardano hard fork brought to the forefront the possibilities for more development. Following the launch of smart contracts on the network as part of Alonzo hard fork, it has moved on to other projects to make sure that the network meets all of the needs of its developers. Hydra is a new layer 2 solution for Cardano network, announced by the Cardano developer IOHK.
