Trinity Network Credit brings a new off-chain scaling mechanism that aims to reshape the world's economy by raising a consensus-building process, lowering transaction costs, and strengthening anonymity. Trinity uses state channel technology to deliver real-time payments, scalability, low transaction fees, and privacy protection for Neo assets. Through its fast and secure off-chain payment channels, Trinity strives to provide fast, safe, and convenient blockchain services to its consumers.
According to the whitepaper, the following is the overall Trinity framework:
Trinity, Blockchain, and the logic layers of Trinity are all isolated from one another. They can each serve decentralized applications (DAPPs) on their own. DAPPs run on the Trinity State Channel Layer (SCL), Channel Service Layer (CSL), Channel Network Layer (CNL), and DAPP Block Layer (BL).
DAPPs on the Trinity network access the API of Trinity's logic layers to secure equivalent services offered on those tiers. Depending on their business needs, they can also carry out on-chain transactions without using Trinity services.
Trinity's State Channel Layer (SCL) delivers the most basic P2P state channel services. State channels are created when transaction participants put their assets up as collateral on the Blockchain and make a smart contract to endorse further off-chain transactions. Transaction parties can perform immediate transactions with no latency, using the capabilities accessible on the SCL.
Trinity receives state channel routing services from the Channel Network Layer (CNL), including fully automatic intelligent routing for transaction participants without already existing state channels. Trinity's routing services are required for unperceived state channel routing, allowing transaction participants to do business in real-time with no latency. DAPPs can use CNL services for B2B/B2C quick payment, decentralized exchanges (DEX), and IoT networking.
Trinity gets plug-in, customizable, off-chain transaction services from the Channel Service Layer (CSL). The channel atomic layer (CAL) and the channel network layer (CNL) work together to make on-chain assets flow quickly off-chain. The CSL is intended to improve the transaction experience for users. As transaction needs vary by asset, industry, and stake, DAPPs may gain specialized services by bespoke implementation by themselves or customization by Trinity on the CSL.
TNC is the platform's native cryptocurrency. The TNC token is used for various purposes, including rewarding channel routing providers.
