Subchain Network

Subchain Abstraction

Nomisma L1 introduces Subchain Abstraction — a modular blockchain architecture that redefines scalability and resource management through a network of specialized subchains.

These subchains are coordinated by Nomisma validators, forming a unified Abstract Liquidity and Data Storage System. This system could allocate compute, storage, and bandwidth resources to dApps based on real-time demand, providing several subchains based on dApp demand.

This architecture departs from traditional monolithic models by prioritizing flexibility, parallelism, and relational storage. Each subchain acts as a semi-autonomous ledger while preserving global consistency, interoperability, and governance through the core Nomisma L1 layer.

At this stage, Nomisma subchains:

  • Feature customizable economic models, fee structures, and transaction logic

  • Anchor finalized blocks to Chromia L1 for enhanced security and finality


Single-dApp Subchains Benefits

Each dApp is deployed as its own subchain on Nomisma, ensuring modularity and scalability. A single dApp can manage multiple subchains simultaneously, handling specialized tasks like payment subchains or high-throughput parallel computations.

This architecture enables advanced use cases, optimized performance, and tailored functionality for different dApp functions, while maintaining seamless interoperability within the Nomisma ecosystem.

Nomisma’s Single-dApp Subchains provide a dedicated blockchain environment tailored to the specific operational and economic needs of individual dApps. They benefit from the core capabilities:

  • Gasless transactions

  • Rate-Limiting

  • MEV resistance

  • Relational Storage

  • AI-optimized execution

  • Redundant backups and encryption

  • Interoperability with other Nomisma subchains


Subchain Business-Models

Subchain developers can configure flexible business models such as:

  • Core-Plus: Free basic access with optional premium feature upgrades

  • Access Pass: Recurring subscriptions for exclusive features

  • Usage-Based: Pay-per-action or data request models

  • Licensing: One-time or tiered licensing fees for deployment

  • Revenue Sharing: Earning a percentage of user-generated revenue or trades


Subchain Examples

1. AI-Driven DeFi (DeFAI)

Subchains for DeFi dApps require low-latency execution, rapid data indexing, and support for dynamic state management (APY, order books, strike prices, expiration dates, etc).

  • AI agent orchestration for real-time yield optimization and risk management

  • Event-triggered execution based on liquidity or price shifts

  • MEV resistance for smooth and fair execution

  • Parallel processing for high-throughput transactions

  • Automatic indexing for instant access to state changes

  • Gasless user interaction for better UX


2. Real-World Asset Tokenization (RWA)

These subchains streamline asset issuance and transfer by removing centralized intermediaries, offering programmable compliance and regulatory integrations.

  • On-chain asset issuance and whitelist management

  • Built-in KYC/AML workflows using programmable logic

  • Ledger Digital Asset Protocol (LDAP) for secure tokenization of stocks and RWAs

  • Configurable licensing models for asset deployment and trading


3. Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN)

DePIN subchains are designed to ingest and process high-frequency data from physical devices, using AI to coordinate actions and reward mechanisms.

  • Structured data layer for device states, metadata, and logs

  • Parallelized execution for large-scale sensor networks

  • Trigger-based automation for fault detection and incentive validation

  • DA layers for immediate access to historical data

  • Enhanced encryption for secure device data storage


4. Gaming and Dynamic NFTs

Gaming-focused subchains support AI-powered NPCs and dynamic NFTs that evolve with gameplay, enabling personalized and immersive game environments.

  • Real-time metadata updates tied to on-chain game states

  • Automatic lore and behavior refresh through AI inference

  • Relational data layer for quick state transitions

  • High TPS with parallel execution for real-time interactions

  • Flexible monetization models, including core-plus or access pass strategies


5. AI Training and DeAI

Nomisma supports decentralized AI development through subchains optimized for storing, labeling, and training data, facilitating community-driven model evolution.

  • Relational database layer for fast read/write operations

  • Token-incentivized data labeling and validation

  • Orchestration of distributed training tasks on-chain

  • Support for mid-range model training via subchain parallelization

  • Secure and versioned storage for reproducible AI workflows
