Imagine you're driving through the city where every intersection forces all cars into a single lane.

But what if each intersection had multiple lanes, and smart traffic lights could coordinate them all to run simultaneously?

Welcome to parallel execution ↓

Parallel execution means running multiple transactions simultaneously instead of processing them one by one.

Tasks get distributed across multiple CPU cores and resources to reduce execution time and improve performance.

So why aren't all blockchains parallel?

Keeping consensus while splitting transactions is hard. Until Altius.

The problem with current "parallel" blockchains is like having multiple highway lanes that all merge into one toll booth.

The moment two transactions need the same smart contract or data, everything bottlenecks again.

You're still stuck waiting.

This is why Altius focuses on instruction-level parallelism, so users can finally experience the speed and efficiency they deserve.

No unnecessary bottlenecks, no wasted processing power, no compromises.

This is the power of true parallel execution.

Altius breaks each transaction into individual steps: validate signatures, read balances, execute logic, update state.

These granular operations run simultaneously when they don't conflict, maximizing processor efficiency while maintaining security.

What does this mean for us, the users?

→ Apps that respond instantly like Web2;
→ Lower fees from eliminating wasted computation;
→ Consistent performance even during network congestion;

The responsive blockchain experience that was always promised.

Everyone talks about onboarding billions of users, but most blockchains struggle with current demand.

Altius bridges that gap as the execution engine upgrading today’s chains and enabling tomorrow’s scalable blockchains.

Galvenie secinājumi no sarunas pie ugunskura ar Annabelle Huang, Altius Labs izpilddirektori.

Lielākā daļa lietotāju nedomā par to, kā blokķēdes darbojas, līdz veiktspēja sabrūk. Kad lietas palēninās, gāzes cenas pieaug un darījumi neizdodas, izpildes slāni kļūst neiespējami ignorēt.

REDeFiNE Tomorrow 2025 pasākumā Annabelle Huang dalījās ar iemesliem, kāpēc Altius Labs vēl neizlaiž vēl vienu L1 vai L2, bet drīzāk koncentrējas uz izpildes slāņa pārveidošanu, to daļu no blokķēdes struktūras, kuru daudzi izvairās pieskarties.

The difference.

Let me explain.

Rollups speed up Ethereum.

But they still process transactions sequentially, one by one.

That’s like using a multi-core processor… and running everything on a single thread.

Altius redefines execution through 4 breakthroughs:

1️⃣ Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP)
• Not transaction-by-transaction, Altius runs instructions in parallel
• Non-conflicting operations are executed concurrently
• Only conflicting instructions are re-executed (saving gas, reducing delays)

2️⃣ Scalable Parallel Storage
• State is sharded and cached across nodes
• Enables concurrent read/write without I/O bottlenecks
• Throughput scales with demand (no need for specialized hardware)

3️⃣ Developer Incentives (ACA)
• Smart contracts are assessed for parallelism and efficiency
• Optimized code earns rewards
• Developers are nudged toward scalable, high-performance design

4️⃣ VM-Agnostic by Design
• Works with EVM, MoveVM, WASM and more
• Plug-and-play execution for L1s, L2s, appchains
• Upgrade performance without rewriting your stack

What this means:

For devs → faster dApps, lower gas, no rewrites
For chains → execution upgrade, zero consensus changes
For users → instant UX that feels like Web2

Rollups scale blockspace.
Altius scales execution.

Only one unlocks real throughput.
