Using Cosmos as an Orchestration Network for Flexible and Efficient Automation Execution
The Cosmos blockchain plays a crucial role in Ditto's architecture by providing a flexible and synchronized environment for operators to coordinate automation tasks. Here’s how Cosmos enhances Ditto's orchestration network:
Centralized Storage for Automation Data Cosmos chain stores all automation tasks within its state, allowing operators to retrieve up-to-date information on which tasks need execution. This centralized storage ensures that each operator has the same view of pending automations, reducing discrepancies and enabling seamless task distribution across the network.
Operator Synchronization Cosmos’s consensus mechanism ensures that all operators are in sync regarding the automation tasks. By keeping automation data within the chain’s storage, operators don’t need to rely on external sources or complex data-fetching processes to understand the tasks they need to execute. This synchronization is essential for maintaining consistent and reliable automation execution across the network.
Flexible Consensus for Performance Evaluation Cosmos allows Ditto to implement custom consensus policies to evaluate operator performance based on historical execution statistics. For instance, performance metrics like execution timeliness, accuracy, and consistency can be analyzed and recorded on the Cosmos chain. This performance-based consensus can support a more refined slashing and reward mechanism, incentivizing operators who perform reliably and penalizing those who fail to meet network standards.
Fraud-Proof and Fail-Safe Mechanisms The Cosmos framework also supports flexible fraud-proof mechanisms. Validators on Cosmos can assess fraud proofs submitted by Fishers, cross-checking historical data to verify if an operator failed to execute a block they were assigned. This mechanism strengthens the fail-safe system and enhances trust in the network’s automation execution.
Storage Fetching from Target Networks Cosmos's built-in capabilities to fetch storage data from target EVM-compatible networks enable the orchestration network to access external data seamlessly. This built-in mechanism is ideal for fetching and validating state data required by automation tasks, eliminating the need for complex bridges or additional integrations.
By leveraging Cosmos as an orchestration network, Ditto gains a robust and flexible framework for managing automation workflows, synchronizing operators, and applying dynamic consensus policies. This integration makes Cosmos an ideal backbone for ensuring that operators can reliably execute automations while maintaining high standards of security and performance across the network.
