What is Ditto Protocol?
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
