Users simply transact on Ethereum Mainnet while the meta-protocol processes in the mempool. This can rely on Ethereum Mainnet or a sidechain for even more affordable rollups (withdrawals).

In an out-of-band scenario, this solution offers a clear and readily available method to guarantee and secure authenticated communication. We have invented a world-class censorship resistant communication protocol that uses the most decentralized, secure and highly available blockchain nodes infrastructure with the highest authenticity standards: Ethereum Mainnet.\n\nI was the architect of X-Chain Arbitrary Execution & Signed Transactions Tunneling Libraries for CCIP and Teleporter: A secured Arbitrary Execution library to call any function in the destination chain with any number of parameters and a Transaction Tunneling that will be used for EOA signed transactions verification and decoding with the library implementation in the destination chain: https://github.com/jistro/X-Chain_Arbitrary_Execution\n\nI created Tclu3 service,  designed to protect smart contract functions from being exploited by bots. The defining characteristic of clu3 is that it uses off-chain humanity proof attestations while functioning on-chain without reliance on Oracles (before EAS was launched). This ensures higher security and efficiency in managing smart contract functions. You can explore more about this open-source service here: https://clu3.framer.website\n\nI also designed Datamorpho,  a novel approach that allows files to undergo data metamorphosis based on cryptography principles. This innovative file standard not only enhances data security but also provides added layers of flexibility and functionality to file handling.
