Infrastructure

OpenLayer’s infrastructure choices focus on two aspects

• Making the service and data easily interoperable and available to everywhere

• Cost effectiveness and throughput for larger scale storage

Interoperability has been a problem for traditional data solutions, especially data solutions on-chain (Oracles). Every new platform will need to integrate, which incurs costs both financially and in terms of timeline. OpenLayer integrates with multiple interoperability solutions such as Avail, NodeKit, LayerZero, etc, to make our data solution automatically cover as many customers as possible.

Storage cost and availability is another area of focus, as the system will need to keep track of certain raw execution data to enable retroactive fraud proofs. Although our design will mostly eliminate the need of actual proof generation, the sources used to generate the proofs need to be available to serve as a meaningful threat to potential bad actors.
