ARTIS 2.0

ARTIS 1.0 <> ARTIS 2.0 Comparison

ARTIS 2.0 will start as a new blockchain network in Q3/2021.

ARTIS 1.0 will be stopped in April 2022.

Technical Base Layer

	ARTIS 1.0 (ARTIS ∑1)	ARTIS 2.0 (ARTIS ∑2)
1: Compatibility with Ethereum	100%	100%
2: Chain Type	Sisterchain (ATS*)	Sidechain (sEUR)
3: Token Structure	Single token (ATS*)	Dual token (sEUR | ATS)
4: Interoperability	TokenBridge	TokenBridge + OmniBridge
5: Staking	PoS for Validators	Public dPoS (POSDAO)
6: Staking Token	ATS* (not listed)	ATS
7: Mainnet Launch	Nov. 14, 2018	Q3/2021 (plan)
8: Block Time	5 sec.	1-2 sec. (typically)
9: TPS	135 (standard transactions)	450 (reported)
10: Metatransactions	Yes	Yes
11: Randomness	not available	Within the protocol
12: Consensus	AuRa	HBBFT (more details)
13: Censorship Resistant	No	Yes
14: Transaction Finality	Probabilistic	Instant
15: MEV	possible	unlikely / impossible
16: Network Synchrony	Synchronous / Asynchronous	Asynchronous
17: Transaction Fees	in ATS*	in sEUR (0-10 Gwei)
18: Streaming Money	not available	Within the protocol

ARTIS 2.0 is similar to the xDai Chain and uses the sEUR token from Synthetix as its coin and for payments on the network. The use of a stable coin like sEUR has the advantage of a better predictability of transaction fees calculated in Euro.

The outstanding technical difference to other blockchain systems is the use of the fully asynchronous Honey Badger BFT consensus and the native support of streaming money using the Superfluid protocol.

Security for ARTIS 2.0 will be delivered via the ATS token, which has to be staked by Candidates / Validators and is also used by Delegators in the dPOS like POSDAO system.

Operation & Governance

Transaction fees will be zero for whitelisted applications and otherwise will be paid in sEUR in order to make cost predictable for businesses.

	ARTIS 1.0 (ARTIS ∑1)	ARTIS 2.0 (ARTIS ∑2)
Number of Validators nodes	8	19
Number of Candidate nodes	n.a.	100 (max.)
Governance through	Validators	ARTIS DAO (gATS token)

Tokenomics

The total token supply for ARTIS 2.0 will be defined by the migration of ATS* coming from ARTIS 1.0 via the xDai Chain enabled for 1 year. The migration is described here.

	ARTIS 1.0 (ARTIS ∑1)	ARTIS 2.0 (ARTIS ∑2)
Total Supply	300m ATS* + 6,307,200 ATS* yearly block rewards	300,000,000 ATS (capped)
Circulating Supply	311,790,000 ATS* (Oct. 11, 2020)	90,000,000 ATS (estimated for the start in Q3/2021)
Emission	1 ATS* / block	via EasyStaking and PoS + dPoS Rewards (details to be defined)
Inflation	2.1% p.a	0% (planned deflation)
Validator / Delegator Stake	4.5m ATS* Validator	TBD
Staking Reward	about 15% p.a	TBD
