Substrate Core
The Root Network uses Substrate at its core. Substrate has two major advantages: a large, well-established developer community, and the technical capability to customize the chain runtimes to optimize for user experience.EVM Support for Smart Contracts
Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) runs within The Root Network protocol and is able to read Solidity smart contracts and execute them. This gives The Root Network developers access to smart contract functionality and also means that any code previously written for Ethereum can now run natively on The Root Network. The EVM development ecosystem provides the broadest possible support for smart contracts and dapps, as well as compatibility with existing collections and collectibles in the NFT ecosystem.Custom Runtimes
Our custom runtimes for Non-Fungible Assets, Gas Economy, Fungible Assets, Decentralized Exchange, Oracles and more, will provide the ingredients for creators to build applications and content without being a smart contract developer. They also provide a world-class onboarding experience.Non-Fungible Assets Runtime
The Root Network NFT runtime provides a single unified network-wide experience for NFTs. In other networks, NFTs exist at the individual contract layer. In The Root Network, NFTs exist in a core network runtime. This provides a common standard to build interoperability. A uniform approach to minting, royalties and structuring, especially in the metadata and content formats, is essential for delivering the asset interoperability people imagine at the application layer. The NFT runtime also has unique features like:- Network-wide royalty enforcement
- Native multi-wallet split and tiered royalties for creators
- Native NFT to NFT swaps
- Native Static and cold minting options
- Build NFT dapps without needing to develop or deploy smart contracts
- Fees from the NFT runtime are distributed to network stakers and validators
