# Technical Edge ### Blazing Throughput - 200k+ TPS White Network removes the bottlenecks that cap most Layer-1 chains at a few thousand transactions per second. A HotStuff-inspired BFT consensus engine, highly parallel execution (WhiteDB), and aggressive signature aggregation together drive sustained throughput to around 200,000 TPS, providing enough headroom for real-time capital-markets traffic and consumer-scale dApps. ### Instant Finality Blocks are notarised in a single round trip and finalised without re-org risk, giving every transaction deterministic settlement while aiming for sub-100-millisecond time-to-finality. That target rivals internal exchange matching engines and enables high-frequency strategies that are impossible on probabilistic-finality networks. ### Unified On-Chain RWA Platform A fully regulated brokerage entity operates side by side with the protocol, allowing traditional assets (such as equities and bonds) to be tokenized, traded, financed, and settled on the base layer itself. Instead of fragmenting liquidity across siloed venues, every order feeds a single, continuously open global pool, turning disparate capital markets into one market. ### Compliance and Privacy by Design (Opt-In) Regulated participants can satisfy KYC/AML requirements natively: wallet credentials issued off-chain are attested on chain via zero-knowledge proofs. Users who do not need compliance can skip it; those who do, prove it with a single signature. Optional privacy primitives (shielded transfers, encrypted memos) keep sensitive flows confidential without breaking auditability. *** ## **Key Advantages** * Exchange-grade performance: up to 200,000 TPS and aiming for sub-100 ms deterministic finality. * Global liquidity in a single venue: on-chain RWA liquidity pool shared across jurisdictions 24/7. * Built-in compliance controls: opt-in KYC/AML proofs enforced at protocol level. * Configurable privacy: zero-knowledge shielded transfers for sensitive portfolio management. * Licensed brokerage integration: tokenization, custody, and redemption of real-world assets under a regulated umbrella. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
