Hetu Ecosystem

Hetu is a modular, multi-chain blockchain ecosystem designed to provide developers with efficient and low-cost solutions for building application chains, while offering users a seamless multi-chain interaction experience. Through layered design and resource sharing, Hetu achieves an optimal balance between security and scalability.

Core Architecture

Layered Model

1. Hetu Main Chain:

• Function: Manages validator nodes, handles cross-chain consensus, and generates state snapshots (Checkpoints) periodically anchored to Ethereum.

• Features: Supports thousands of transactions per second (TPS) and is compatible with EVM smart contracts.

1. APP Chains (Application Chains):

• Function: Developers can build vertical scenario-specific chains (e.g., AI chains, enterprise chains) with fully customizable business rules.

• Features: Zero node maintenance costs, leveraging the main chain’s shared security and cross-chain protocols.

Cross-Chain Components

• Standardized Cross-Chain Bridge: Enables two-way circulation of ETH and ecosystem assets, completing cross-chain operations in 3 minutes.

• Checkpoint Mechanism: Anchors the main chain’s critical state to Ethereum every 30 minutes, ensuring censorship resistance and traceability.

Dual-Token Economy

Synergy Logic: ETH drives daily transactions, lowering user barriers. HETU captures long-term ecosystem value, ensuring decentralized governance.

Token	Core Use Cases	User Value
ETH	- Gas fee payments - Cross-chain base asset	- No need to learn new tokens - Seamless integration with the Ethereum ecosystem
HETU	- Governance voting rights - Node staking - Ecosystem incentive distribution	- Participate in governance decisions - Share in the network’s growth dividends

Developer Advantages

1. Simplified Development

• Modular Toolkit: Offers pre-built consensus modules, asset bridging templates, and data indexing services, saving 90% of underlying development time.

• Flexible Customization: Developers can define gas rules, storage structures, and privacy policies to meet diverse scenario needs.

1. Low-Cost Launch

• Shared Validators: Developers can leverage Hetu’s global validator network without recruiting or maintaining nodes.

• Free Cross-Chain Integration: Built-in standardized cross-chain protocols enable instant interoperability between application chain assets and ETH.

User Experience

1. Unified Entry Point

• Single Wallet Management: Users can manage all application chain assets through wallets like MetaMask.

• Cross-Chain Transparency: The system automatically handles cross-chain operations, providing a single-chain-like experience.

1. Cost Advantages

• 80% Lower Gas Fees: Significantly reduced transaction costs compared to Ethereum mainnet.

• Multi-Currency Payments: Supports ETH or HETU for gas fees, with real-time recommendations for the optimal option.

Governance Mechanism

• On-Chain Voting: HETU holders stake tokens to participate in proposal decisions, including parameter adjustments and ecosystem fund usage.

• Tiered Response:

  • Regular Proposals : Community voting (7-day cycle, 20% circulating supply participation required).

  • Emergency Proposals: Rapid response by the validator committee (e.g., security fixes, effective within 2 hours).

• Incentive Binding: Proposal initiators and voters share rewards from the governance pool based on contributions.

Ecosystem Vision

Hetu aims to become the infrastructure layer of the Web3 era by:

• Lowering Blockchain Development Barriers: Enabling developers to build application chains as easily as creating websites.

• Breaking Chain Barriers: Allowing users to explore the multi-chain world without technical concerns.

• Democratizing Value: Ensuring fair distribution of ecosystem benefits through decentralized governance.
