Ditto Protocol is a decentralized protocol designed to execute intent-driven workflows and event-driven automations across blockchain ecosystems. By leveraging shared security, Ditto ensures trustless, reliable execution of workflows across EVM-compatible chains. The protocol empowers builders to create and execute complex workflows under predefined conditions, unlocking new possibilities for decentralized automation.

​
How Ditto Protocol Works

​
Account Abstraction

Ditto Protocol employs an abstraction layer for user accounts, enhancing privacy and security. Users can perform transactions and launch workflows without exposing unnecessary details, ensuring a safer and more confidential blockchain experience.

​
Randomized Node Groups (Committees)

  • Every workflow or transaction is processed by a randomly selected group of nodes (a committee).
  • Randomization is ensured via the RANDAO verifiable randomness mechanism.
  • Committees are formed from RANDAO participants to eliminate predictability and reduce attack risks.
  • A committee leader is chosen based on verifiable randomness and stake size for added fairness.

​
Secure Workflow Execution

  • Workflows require validation and signing by a majority of committee members using Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT).
  • Process completes upon majority consensus, ensuring robustness even if some nodes act maliciously.

​
Rewards for Participants

Validators, operators, and keepers are rewarded with transaction fees for:
  • Maintaining network stability
  • Ensuring protocol integrity
  • Incentivizing honest participation
