what's GIWA?

GIWA is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain constructed on the OP Stack, designed to enhance scalability and accessibility in Web3 applications. It addresses Ethereum's limitations in transaction speed and cost by processing transactions off-chain while settling on Ethereum for security. Key features include one-second block times for near real-time experiences, full EVM compatibility allowing seamless deployment of Solidity smart contracts, and support for familiar developer tools. This infrastructure aims to lower barriers for users and developers, fostering a more inclusive blockchain ecosystem. Built with enterprise-grade security, GIWA inherits Ethereum's decentralization and robustness while enabling faster, cheaper operations. It supports a range of applications from DeFi to RWAs, with an emphasis on simplicity and global accessibility. The network's architecture promotes innovation by providing an open platform for building dApps, backed by robust documentation available in multiple languages to onboard diverse communities.

GIWA added Chainlink Data Streams support on Sepolia testnet.
