About us

Axion is carbon-neutral, high-speed, modular, SVM based, low-cost L1, with optional python contracts, designed for mainstream adoption, while being compatible with solana.

We are addressing issues such as congestion and the difficulty in writing programs, which are hindrances for Solana's mass adoption.

We are addressing the congestion issue through two methods:

Localized gas fees: Contracts that are experiencing above-average spamming are often the cause of issues. By increasing the gas fees for those contracts while keeping fees low everywhere else, we can deter spamming behavior.

App-specific L2: Any heavily-used and popular application should have its own blockchain. We'll facilitate this process, allowing these apps to share liquidity on the main L1 chain while keeping their specific logic separate. Setting up such chains will be straightforward as we'll maintain security and integrity.

Solana's programming difficulty stems from numerous constraints aimed at enhancing its speed and efficiency. Languages like Rust, commonly used, entail a steep learning curve.

We're addressing this challenge by introducing typed Python for writing smart contracts on Axion. These contracts will be converted to the same machine code as Rust, ensuring similar performance levels.

Python, a widely recognized language in the web2 space, boasts approximately 8.2 million developers, far outnumbering the 3000 Solidity developers worldwide. This means that developers accustomed to Python will find it remarkably straightforward to write for a chain that supports it
