Lyte Quorum: Off-Chain Ready Smart Contract Hosted with Choice

Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing 2025-09-30 v1

Abstract

This paper introduces Lyquor, a decentralized platform that reimagines blockchain infrastructure through a service-centric model where nodes selectively host smart contracts (called Lyquids) while preserving global composability. We present three key innovations: (1) Fate-Constrained Ordering (FCO), which decouples consensus from execution to enable selective hosting without sacrificing Layer-1 grade composability; (2) Direct Memory Architecture (DMA), which eliminates state access bottlenecks by providing each contract with persistent, byte-addressable virtual memory; and (3) Universal Procedure Call (UPC), which enables fault-tolerant, programmable coordination across distributed off-chain computation. Together, these components are powered by a Rust-macroed unified programming model where on-chain and off-chain logic coexist seamlessly, supporting both traditional smart contract patterns and novel distributed applications. Lyquor addresses critical limitations in existing systems while maintaining compatibility with Ethereum APIs, offering a path toward truly scalable decentralized computation.
