Technology overview
Architecture of Cyclone Blockchain
Cyclone blockchain is built upon an open Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocol, leveraging Bitcoin addresses and cryptography for its operations. This innovative architecture combines the security of BFT with the familiarity and robustness of Bitcoin's network.
Basic Principle and Consensus Mechanisms
At its core, Cyclone operates on the principle of decentralized consensus, ensuring agreement among network participants on the validity of transactions and the state of the blockchain. The consensus mechanism employed by Cyclone is an open BFT protocol, which allows for high fault tolerance and resilience against malicious actors.
Utilized Technologies
In terms of underlying technologies, Cyclone integrates Bitcoin-like addresses and cryptographic techniques to ensure secure and transparent transactions within the network. By leveraging these well-established technologies, Cyclone inherits their proven track record of security and reliability.

Speed & Usability
Contemporary platforms built on blockchain technology, though not being blockchains themselves, often tout their enhanced capacity for handling large volumes of transactions as a key selling point. Yet, the boasted TPS only becomes a factor of importance if the platform achieves a level of utilization that necessitates such high transaction capacity. To draw a parallel, constructing a vast arena capable of accommodating 300M spectators in a remote location where there's no demand is illogical.
Therefore, the primary challenge that needs immediate attention is devising a way for developers to seamlessly craft applications that not only attract users but also ensure a lasting value creation for the developers themselves and provide them with fundamental technology that offers flexible growth potential and scalability based on demand.
Although some improvements can be implemented at the application layer, the foundational adjustments that truly matter must occur at the base protocol layer of the technology and cannot simply be added as an afterthought.
Scalability
Consensus FBFT (Federal Byzantine Fault Tolerance), which has proven itself in Monolithic architectures like Ripple and Stellar Lumen, is potentially unlimited in scalability given the correct implementation and especially within the context of Microservices architecture.
To achieve scalability and ensure sustainability for the long term, a protocol needs to efficiently distribute both its storage requirements and computational tasks. This becomes critical as a platform gains widespread usage, making it impractical for a single server to manage the entirety of the blockchain's data or validate every transaction.
The Cyclone employs a strategy of Sharding, enhancing the network's throughput as more nodes join in. This method involves the network's automatic segmentation into several shards when the activity levels necessitate such division, allowing for computations to occur in parallel across these shards. Consequently, the network's capacity to handle transactions expands in direct response to growing user demand and potentially unlimited.
Recent advancements in blockchain sharding have focused on differentiating transactions that occur within the same shard from those that cross shards, optimizing the process for the former while the latter experiences slower processing times. Cyclone Protocol, however, anticipates that transactions will typically involve multiple shards, especially in the case of complex smart contracts, and has tailored its performance optimization strategies with this assumption in mind.
Flexibility
Cyclone has the ability to modification of system components, including the transport layer, consensus protocol, storage, and virtual machines. If necessary, we are capable of making radical changes even within the context of a network that is already runed.
Interoperability & Cross-Chain
Cyclone offers a seamless and rapid way to build integration with the most popular crypto platforms, ensuring fast and easy adoption. Cyclone adaptability for fust integration with various third-party systems is unmatched.
