CORE TECHNOLOGY
The Protocol
Sahyadri is a sovereign Layer 1 blockchain built on SahyadriDAG — a directed acyclic graph architecture that enables parallel block production by independent miners. Every valid block contributes to the ledger, and Sahyadri Consensus orders them into a single deterministic history with absolute finality. Secured by SahyadriX — a memory-hard Proof-of-Work combining Blake3 hashing with a 16 MB memory loop — the network ensures that security remains accessible to a broad population of participants while maintaining resistance against specialized mining hardware.
The protocol operates on an Account + Object state model, where each address maintains a unified balance and nonce rather than tracking individual unspent outputs. This enables direct atomic transfers between accounts at 10,000 TPS with 1-second block times and sub-second propagation. The strictly capped supply of 21,000,000 CSM with disinflationary halving every four years provides a predictable, transparent, and auditable monetary foundation designed to function as neutral settlement infrastructure at global scale.

SahyadriDAG — dynamic, scalable, secure.
SahyadriDAG Flow
Hover to accelerate — multiple blocks mined simultaneously
At its core, SahyadriDAG permits independent miners to produce blocks concurrently — every valid block is accepted into the graph and ordered by Sahyadri Consensus into a single canonical history. This eliminates the orphan block problem entirely, ensuring that no mining effort is ever wasted. Network integrity is verifiable at any moment by any participant through full node validation.
The SahyadriDAG structure dynamically adapts to network conditions — as more miners join, more blocks are produced in parallel, and throughput scales accordingly without compromising security or transparency. With a max block mass of 30,000,000 and 1-second block times, the network sustains 10,000 TPS on Proof-of-Work.
Sahyadri functions as a sovereign settlement layer. Developers can build financial primitives and payment rails directly on the protocol, inheriting its full PoW security by default, creating an independent and trust-minimized digital economy.

Layered Security
Protocol-level security with SahyadriX Proof-of-Work
Sahyadri enforces security at the protocol level through SahyadriX — a memory-hard Proof-of-Work algorithm requiring 16 MB of random-access memory per hash operation. This construction compresses the performance gap between specialized mining hardware and general-purpose devices, ensuring that mining remains accessible and decentralized. The Account + Object state model provides a second security layer — each address carries a unique nonce, balances are validated atomically at block confirmation boundaries, and double-spend protection is enforced across four independent layers: mempool lock, balance re-check, nonce sequence, and deterministic finality. Every transaction, every block, and every application built on Sahyadri inherits this protocol-level security by default.
