How Dymension works

RollApps can maintain an average processing time of 0.2 seconds with a maximum TPS of approximately 20,000 transactions. The operating mechanism of the platform is carried out in turn according to the following steps:

  • Users execute trading orders on RollApp.

  • Transactions will be verified by Sequencer and automatically included in a block.

  • The Sequencer sends the block containing the transaction as Call Data to the Dymension Hub and sends the transaction proof to the DA layer.

  • After the DA layer returns the path to the stored evidence, the Sequencer will confirm the current state of the RollApp and send the state root information and the evidence path to Dymension Hub.
