Determinism First, Performance as Consequence
IPPAN introduces a new primitive: deterministic ordering of transactions, blocks, and rounds, anchored to a network time aligned with UTC, independent of message arrival order. This turns time and order into verifiable infrastructure primitives.
Authoritative Network Time
Network time derived from protocol rules—not a single clock. UTC-anchored timestamps provide authoritative temporal ordering that all participants can verify and trust.
Deterministic Ordering
Same input produces the same ledger on all honest nodes. Transaction, block, and round ordering is deterministic regardless of message arrival order or network conditions.
Full Replayability
Complete auditability through replay from genesis. Every state transition can be independently verified, enabling regulatory compliance and dispute resolution.
Horizontal Scalability
Parallelism via lanes and DAG structure enables extreme throughput. Multi-million TPS class performance demonstrated in controlled benchmarks without sacrificing correctness.
Strict Determinism Guarantees
Canonical encoding, fixed-point arithmetic, and no runtime floats. Heterogeneous environments produce identical results—critical for cross-institution deployments.
Audit-Grade Infrastructure
Built for regulated environments. The ledger itself becomes the single source of temporal truth, reducing reconciliation, operational risk, and audit overhead.
Permissioned & Public Models
Supports both enterprise permissioned deployments (FinDAG-style) and public network configurations. Flexibility to match institutional requirements.
Working Implementation
Execution velocity demonstrated through working code, benchmarks, and tooling. Not theoretical—real infrastructure ready for integration and deployment.
Architecture
How It Works
DAG-Based Consensus
IPPAN uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure that enables parallel block production while maintaining strict deterministic ordering. Validators work in coordinated rounds to maximize throughput.
Time Anchoring
Network time is derived from protocol rules, not any single clock source. This provides authoritative temporal ordering that all participants can independently verify.
