User Sovereignty and Data Permanence
ITRIX deeply leverages Solana’s technological advantages and adopts a “Solana-Native First” strategy in its architecture design, ensuring users fully control their identity, social relations, and content data. Even if the protocol stops operating, user data remains permanently accessible.
Solana-Native First Architecture
Design Goal: Maximize use of Solana’s low cost, high throughput, and high performance, while ensuring cross-chain compatibility for critical components, to provide an excellent developer experience.
Technical Implementation (Underlying Infrastructure):
Transaction Processing: Built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and Sealevel parallel execution framework, delivering outstanding performance and supporting 2000+ social interaction transactions per second (e.g., likes, comments).
Data Storage: User content is stored permanently on Arweave via the Bundlr Network with SOL payments, reducing costs by ~90% compared to Ethereum-based solutions. Metadata is anchored to Solana mainnet accounts (SPL Accounts), with content hash state updates in under 0.5 seconds, significantly improving real-time performance.
Censorship Resistance (Leveraging Solana Features): Integrated Solana validator node QUIC protocol to replace traditional libp2p for decentralized content propagation, directly interfacing with the Solana validator network. Using a Geyser plugin to listen to on-chain social events in real time, we built an efficient decentralized indexer. Cross-Chain Compatibility: (Future-proofing slots reserved; currently focusing on Solana first.) (Technical comparison snapshot:)
| Functional Module | Solana-Native Solution | Advantage Over Alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Identity Auth | Solana DID (SIP-99 standard) | Lower gas fees, supports mobile biometrics |
| Social Asset Issuance | Token-2022 + Compressed NFTs | ~90% storage cost reduction (~0.001 SOL/account) |
| Payment Channels | Solana's ERC-4337 account abstraction + SPL streaming payments | Supports real-time micropayments (e.g., tipping), greatly improving UX |
Data Storage Solution and Technical Implementation
Design Goal: Ensure users have complete control of identity, social relationships, and content such that even if the protocol stops, their data remains accessible forever.
Data Storage Scheme:
| Data Type | Solana-Native Solution | Advantage over Cross-Chain Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| User Content | Arweave via Bundlr (paid in SOL) | ~90% cost reduction vs. Ethereum+Arweave |
| Social Graph | Shadow Drive (Solana native decentralized storage) | No IPFS bridges needed; uses SOL for storage rent |
| Metadata Anchor | Solana mainnet account (SPL Account) | State update ~50x faster than Ethereum, enabling real-time social interactions |
Technical Implementation:
Decentralized Storage Layer: User-generated content (text, media) is permanently saved via Shadow Drive (Solana’s native storage) or Arweave, with hashes anchored on Solana mainnet to achieve data perpetuity.
Data Recovery: Integrated threshold cryptography (TSS) via the Lit Protocol, allowing users to securely recover private keys through their social relationship network. On-Chain Social Graph Optimization: Utilized a SeaLevel-ORM framework to efficiently handle the on-chain social graph. This reduces query latency from about 2 seconds on Ethereum-based platforms (like CyberConnect) to under 200 milliseconds, a significant performance boost for a smoother and more efficient social interaction experience.
