RedStone

Modular architecture is quickly becoming the dominant design pattern in blockchain infrastructure, separating execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability into discrete layers. But while modularity offers scalability and flexibility, it has also fragmented liquidity and composability across dozens of rollups.

Redstone enters this environment not as another monolithic L1 or another rollup, but as a modular execution layer specifically built to unify rollups under a shared state and communication model.

Unlike traditional L2s that compete for usage and silo their users, Redstone offers a model where multiple rollups can interoperate as if they live on the same state machine, while still scaling independently.

Design Philosophy and Vision

Redstone was designed by developers steeped in the realities of rollup fragmentation. Rather than abstract execution into yet another chain, Redstone embraces a rollup-as-a-primitive architecture. That means:

• Each rollup shares security, data, and communication rails

• Developers retain control over execution environments

• Liquidity and contracts can interact synchronously across domains

This makes Redstone fundamentally rollup-native, rather than rollup-compatible. Its goal isn’t to host dApps directly, but to coordinate modular applications across rollups in a shared state environment.

Technical Architecture

At the heart of Redstone’s architecture is the integration with Celestia for data availability. This relationship defines how Redstone handles throughput, validation, and rollup interaction.

• Celestia Blobstream
  Redstone consumes Celestia’s Blobstream via Ethereum, allowing rollups to post their data off-chain while maintaining data availability guarantees. This offloads the data burden while preserving verifiability.

• Enshrined Rollup Settlement
  Redstone treats rollups as first-class citizens. They aren’t third-party users—they’re embedded into the protocol. This allows for:

  • Synchronous state reads and writes across rollups

  • Shared sequencer layers

  • Atomic execution across rollup contracts

  • Native fee markets at the rollup level

• State Access Coordination
  Unlike asynchronous bridges, Redstone enables rollups to call each other in the same block, making composability real-time and dependable.

• Settlement Without Centralization
  Rollups publish state roots and proofs directly to Redstone, avoiding reliance on centralized sequencers or trust assumptions. This ensures neutrality and censorship resistance.

This model dramatically improves UX and developer flexibility without compromising modularity.

What It Enables

Redstone is not meant to be a home for basic token transfers. It’s a coordination layer for modular applications that need trust-minimized interoperability.

Use cases include:

• Synchronous Multi-Rollup DeFi
  Liquidity pools spread across multiple rollups can rebalance and execute trades atomically.

• Composable NFT and Gaming Logic
  Asset ownership on one rollup can trigger in-game mechanics or achievements on another with no latency or bridging complexity.

• ZK-based Privacy Chains
  Privacy-preserving rollups can submit shielded transactions and proofs that interact with public rollups in real-time.

• Distributed Appchains
  Teams can launch their own rollups as appchains while retaining composability with the broader ecosystem—no fragmentation required.

The key is that execution happens where it’s needed, but state is shared where it’s strategic.
