Photon Messaging

Photon Messaging is an omnichain protocol that facilitates secure and efficient cross-chain communication for both EVM and non-EVM blockchains. It enables developers to send customized messages across diverse blockchain networks, supporting seamless asset transfers and operations.

Photon Messaging Protocol Components

1. Entangle Agent Network

A Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) distributed architecture with off-chain machines that consists of:

  • Transmitter Agents

  • Watcher Agents.

2. Master Smart Contract (MSC)

  • Function: Manages protocol settings and ensures data integrity.

  • Operations: Aggregates data and proofs from Transmitters and forwards validated proofs and data to Executors for implementation.

3. End Points

Function: End Point Smart Contracts in Entangle serve as gateways for cross-chain messages. They manage and verify transactions between different blockchain networks, simplifying the process of cross-chain communication.

4. Executors

  • Function: Execute operations on the blockchain after receiving validated proposals from Transmitters.

  • Role: Implement agreed actions on the target blockchain or within the target smart contract.
