Solution and Vision
We're creating a future where blockchains can rely on their peers to bootstrap and scale. Canopy is the first seed in a peer-to-peer security future, where chains recursively spawn new L0s, each receiving and providing security dynamically.
Canopy offers a flexible approach to independence, viewing sovereignty as a fluid spectrum rather than a binary choice. Security transforms into an organic network, moving away from legacy hierarchies. As barriers to independence are removed, this fosters greater autonomy and integration. With Canopy, the era of rigid blockchain layers ends. Instead, chains grow like ecosystems - starting as sprouts that depend on their peers for security, then mature into sovereign networks, and seed the next generation.
Why Recursion Matters
The ideal Web3 future consists of peer-to-peer blockchains that consume and supply security. This solution changes how the decentralized applications scale.
Convert the success of dApps from a problem to the solution.
Changing apps from resource sinks to sources.
Transforming nested tech from internal to interoperable.
With Canopy, chains start with a dependent architecture to make bootstrapping accessible, but enable progressive sovereignty to contribute to the peer-to-peer security mesh once mature.
This design removes the financial and technical barriers to entry, while pre-defining a track to sovereignty to eliminate the significant costs of escaping the host protocol.
This architecture cross-pollinates tokens and uniquely positions validators and token holders to benefit from the world's first generational asset distribution system.
Our Vision
Canopy open-sources the recursive blockchain framework to allow new chains to build easily.
Canopy's chain acts as a seed peer for the recursive L0 protocol, providing a security shelter for new chains to Nest.
Nested chains grow their community, validator set, and total locked value - all while being secured by the Security Root and interoperable with any blockchain.
Nested chains can leave the Nest or change Security Roots anytime during their lifecycle.
Any chain built on Canopy can recursively support the peer-to-peer security future.
