what's yellow network?
Yellow Network is a Layer-3 decentralized protocol designed to unify fragmented blockchains into a single clearing network, enabling seamless cross-chain trading and settlement without traditional bridges. By leveraging state channel technology, it allows participants like brokers, exchanges, and traders to conduct real-time, off-chain interactions while ensuring on-chain security and finality. This architecture addresses key challenges in Web3, such as liquidity silos and high latency, by creating a mesh of collateral-backed connections that process billions of micro-transactions efficiently. The protocol operates through ClearNodes, specialized engines run by network participants, which synchronize balances and enforce rules via smart contracts. Security is provided by the Nitrolite framework, built on the ERC-7824 standard, which locks collateral to penalize misbehavior and guarantees trustless operations. Yellow abstracts underlying blockchains into a unified virtual ledger, supporting applications in high-frequency trading, instant payments, and gaming across ecosystems. As an infrastructure layer, Yellow facilitates plug-and-play integration for developers and businesses, powering features like account-based swaps and zero-gas interactions. Its chain-agnostic design promotes interoperability, turning isolated networks into a coordinated marketplace while maintaining decentralization and self-custody principles.
Yellow Network's Co-Founder Alexis Sirkia is scheduled to speak at Consensus Hong Kong 2026 in February.
