Introducing Ragno Network
Ragno Network is revolutionizing the way cross-chain protocols interact with Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2) blockchains. Built to solve critical challenges like fragmented liquidity, complex cross-chain integrations, and suboptimal user experiences, Ragno provides a decentralized node marketplace that powers blockchain data for the Dojima cross-chain protocol and beyond. Our Vision: To become the leading decentralized data provider for L1 and L2 chains, enabling efficient, scalable, and secure cross-chain interactions for validators, light clients, and other network participants.The Problem
Cross-Chain Complexity and Infrastructure Costs
As cross-chain protocols grow, they need to interact with multiple Layer 1 blockchains, each with their own unique infrastructure requirements. Validators face two major challenges:- Maintaining Multiple RPC Endpoints: Validators must set up and manage multiple RPC nodes to track data across several chains.
- Running Full Infrastructure Nodes: Validators may need to operate full infrastructure nodes for each L1 blockchain, incurring significant operational costs.
- Running a single L1 node costs approximately $500 per month.
- Validators interacting with 10 L1 blockchains may face costs of up to $5,000 per month.
- For a decentralized network with 100 validators, this can add up to $500,000 per month—just for basic infrastructure.
The Solution: Ragno Network
Ragno Network tackles these inefficiencies head-on by providing a shared infrastructure for cross-chain protocols and light clients. Instead of validators managing costly infrastructure for each L1 blockchain, Ragno offers pre-existing, decentralized L1 infrastructure that validators can leverage.Key Benefits
- Cost Savings: Validators can reduce infrastructure costs by 10x to 100x. No need to run or maintain separate nodes for each blockchain.
- Increased Efficiency: Ragno’s decentralized network enables secure, reliable cross-chain data interactions without the complexity and high costs of running multiple L1 nodes.
- Decentralized & Secure: Built on strong cryptographic principles, Ragno Network is designed for high levels of decentralization and security. This ensures trustworthy cross-chain data interactions.
- Modular Infrastructure: Ragno Network offers true modularity by decoupling the data layer from execution. This allows for:
- Flexible, Efficient Data Indexing: Optimized for different chain integrations.
- Faster Transaction Mapping: Streamlining the process for reduced transaction costs and faster integration with new blockchains.
