Abstract vs Sirius

Abstract is a Layer 2 (L2) network built on top of Ethereum, designed to securely power consumer-facing blockchain applications at scale with low fees and fast transaction speeds.

Built on top of the ZK Stack, Abstract is a zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup built to be a more scalable alternative to Ethereum; it achieves this scalability by executing transactions off-chain, batching them together, and verifying batches of transactions on Ethereum using (ZK) proofs.

Abstract is EVM compatible, meaning it looks and feels like Ethereum, but with lower gas fees and higher transaction throughput. Existing smart contracts built for Ethereum will work out of the box on Abstract (with some differences), meaning developers can easily port applications to Abstract with no or minimal changes.

Sirius aims to offer a suite of primary services including blockchain, storage, streaming, and Supercontract. Its architecture allows for the seamless addition of future services without compromising performance. These services are managed and governed by robust consensus protocols, ensuring network integrity while incentivizing decentralized participation. With its parallelized services and protocols organized into distinct layers, Sirius is flexible, easy to adopt, fast, and secure. Packaged within an all-in-one extensible framework, the Sirius ecosystem is well-suited for a range of applications including dApps, DeFi, NFTs, Web3, and beyond.
