Architecture

The deep how, paired with the whitepaper and technical reference pages that explain the principles behind XEL without exposing internal implementation plans.

System overview: the full diagram, chain, storage, compute, providers, client, portal.
On-chain vs off-chain: what lives where and the verifiability model.
The commitment model: how on-chain hashes bind to off-chain content so you verify without seeing.
The trust model: attestation, fail-closed behavior, and the honest assumptions (hardware attestation root, provider cost reporting, portal dependency).
Data model: what is stored on-chain, public, and encrypted, with a worked sample of one character.
The heartbeat and treasury: the epoch cycle, just-in-time unstaking, the buffer, the reserve floors.
Wallets and cross-chain: the multi-chain topology, receive-only sweeping, MPC custody with no assembled key.
Why Sui: the object model, the integrated privacy stack, and the honest counterweights.
Survivability: exactly what the operator-can-die chaos test enforces, and that it runs on every build.
