A high-performance, Rust-native Layer-1 blockchain forked from the Solana validator codebase,
optimized from the ground up for high-frequency financial workloads.

1024Chain is an independent Layer-1 blockchain derived from the Solana validator codebase. It is designed to be lighter, faster, and more execution-focused than the Solana mainnet, with architectural and parameter choices tailored specifically for high-throughput trading, low-latency matching, and rapid settlement.
Built for Finance from Layer-1:
Unlike general-purpose blockchains that retrofit financial applications, 1024Chain is engineered from the protocol layer to support sub-second order book matching and sub-second settlement.
Solana pioneered a high-performance, Rust-based blockchain architecture. However, as the Solana mainnet evolved into a general-purpose, large-scale ecosystem, its validator design necessarily optimized for broad compatibility, long-term stability, and heterogeneous workloads.
1024Chain takes a different set of trade-offs.
Instead of serving all use cases, we focus on a narrow but demanding domain:
High-frequency financial execution
This includes on-chain order books, derivatives, arbitrage, market making, and latency-sensitive financial infrastructure.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Sub-second Matching | Order book matching engine achieves sub-second confirmation |
| Sub-second Settlement | Trade settlement completes in under 1 second end-to-end |
| High Throughput | Optimized for sustained high-TPS under trading workloads |
| Deterministic Execution | Predictable transaction ordering for fair trading |
-
Faster Block Production
Higher tick rate delivers higher TPS and shorter confirmation times. -
Optimized Scheduler
Transaction scheduling prioritized for trading patterns and account access locality. -
Reduced Confirmation Latency
Faster finality for time-sensitive financial operations. -
Parallel Execution
Aggressive parallelization leveraging account isolation for maximum throughput.
- 100% SVM Compatible — All Solana programs, tools, and SDKs work out of the box
- Familiar Tooling — Use Anchor, Solana CLI, web3.js, and existing Solana development workflows
- Battle-tested Runtime — Built on the proven Agave/Solana validator codebase
- Lighter Validator Footprint — Reduced complexity for easier deployment and maintenance
- Lower Infrastructure Costs — Optimized resource usage for cost-effective node operation
- Simplified Architecture — Focused feature set means fewer moving parts and failure modes
1024Chain powers a suite of high-performance financial applications, all benefiting from protocol-level optimizations for speed and reliability.
A next-generation decentralized exchange built natively on 1024Chain, offering CEX-like performance with full on-chain transparency.
- Perpetual Contracts — High-leverage perpetual futures trading
- Spot Trading — Instant spot execution with deep liquidity
- Options — On-chain options trading with real-time pricing and settlement
- Millisecond Matching — Ultra-fast order book matching engine

| If You Need... | 1024Chain Delivers |
|---|---|
| Fast order matching | Millisecond matching engine |
| Quick trade settlement | Sub-second on-chain finality |
| High transaction throughput | Optimized for trading workloads |
| Solana compatibility | 100% SVM compatible |
| Professional trading infra | Built for institutional use cases |
| Lower operational costs | Lighter, more efficient validators |
- Execution over generality — Prioritize deterministic execution and throughput over maximal flexibility
- Low latency first — Optimize block production, scheduling, and confirmation paths for fast feedback loops
- High parallelism — Aggressively leverage parallel execution and account isolation to maximize throughput
- Rust-native, systems-first — Treat the validator as a real-time distributed system, not an application framework
1024Chain is:
- A Solana-derived Rust blockchain optimized from Layer-1 for finance
- A high-performance financial execution layer
- A system designed for professional trading infrastructure
- 100% SVM (Solana Virtual Machine) compatible
- The foundation for 1024EX and other financial applications
1024Chain is not:
- A general-purpose smart contract platform for all applications
- An official Solana network or upgrade
- A replacement for the Solana mainnet

1024Chain pursues higher performance while strictly maintaining full SVM compatibility.
What we optimize:
- Network layer, scheduler, execution parallelism
- Storage layer, consensus parameters
What we never touch:
- Transaction/message format, Address Lookup Table behavior
- Syscalls / Loader / ABI / Compute semantics
- Account ownership / Rent semantics
Solana proved that high-performance blockchains are possible. 1024Chain is optimized from the protocol layer for high-speed financial scenarios.
We focus on high-frequency financial execution — on-chain order books, derivatives, arbitrage, market making, and all latency-sensitive financial infrastructure.
The future of finance is on-chain, and 1024Chain is the infrastructure built for it.
