Every contract deployment, every user transaction is processed by Ethereum’s decentralized network of validators, eliminating the centralized sequencers common with other L2s.
Consensus via Ethereum
Facet transactions are embedded as data “payloads” within Ethereum transactions - inheriting Ethereum’s native consensus mechanism.
Sovereign State Management
Facet is sovereign because it operates independently of L1 contracts, with no upgradeable contracts or privileged wallets.
Immutable Code
Facet’s code is immutable, guaranteeing consistent and unalterable functionality. The only way to upgrade Facet is through social consensus and a hard fork - just like Ethereum.
Upgradeable Code
L2s rely on permissioned wallets (security councils) that can upgrade protocol contracts, introducing centralization and security risks.
Deterministic Compute
Like other rollups, Facet off-chains deterministic smart contract compute operations to achieve scale.
Think Outside the Block
With transaction history immutably secured on Ethereum - Facet’s deterministic, EVM-equivalent execution ensures state derivation is consistent and verifiable.
Facet is EVM-compatible in all the ways you would expect, and more.
Effortless Migration
Facet is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Smart contracts and applications designed for Ethereum can be deployed on Facet without modification.
No Learning Curve
Ethereum developers will find it easy to build on Facet.
Familiar Ethereum Tools and infrastructure will work directly with Facet.
Transactions on L1
Facet transactions are natively Ethereum transactions.
Users don’t need to connect to a different network – they can transact directly on Ethereum.
Based Finality
Facet achieves block finality in direct sync with Ethereum’s own finality.
There is no need for lengthy waits and complex bridging process typical of L2 solutions.
