Your Monday LightLink Mainnet numbers: → 234.5M blocks → 94.5M txs → 6.0M addresses → 793.8K txs in the last 30 days ~22.9K txs a day this week, each one in a block within about half a second 🤠

Moving an EVM app to LightLink is a config change, not a rewrite → Pegasus Testnet: chain ID 1891, with a faucet → Phoenix Mainnet: chain ID 1890 Geth-based execution, so Solidity, Hardhat, Foundry and MetaMask work unchanged Add the network, point your deploy script at it

Coinbase and The Block Research found 73% of stablecoin transfer volume in the 12 months to July moved outside US banking hours Money stopped keeping banking hours LightLink never had any → ~1.2M blocks in the last 7 days → one every ~0.5s, Sunday 3am included 😏

6/6 It already runs at scale: @trycarbonio's CRT, the most-held token on LightLink, is built on Bolt Read the Bolt docs 👇 docs.lightlink.io/lightlink-…

5/6 Beyond minting, it's the same pattern for: → creating user accounts → deploying and executing contracts → creating and transferring tokens → webhooks for what happens next

4/6 The key part: userId can be your own user ID, not a wallet address Pass one and Bolt creates a LightLink account for that user They sign in the way they already do. No wallet needed

3/6 Minting is one API call Send the metadata (name, description, attributes) and Bolt mints the token It's gasless, because Bolt runs on Enterprise Mode

2/6 Setup: you get an API key From then on, every on-chain action is a request from your backend

1/6 Putting a user's action on-chain usually means building: → wallet infra → RPC plumbing → transaction signing → gas top-ups Bolt replaces that stack with API calls 👇

Blocks on LightLink land every 0.5 seconds Once a tx is in a block it has "soft finality": its order and result are set, as long as the sequencer stays honest Then the data goes to @celestia and the chain settles to Ethereum For apps, that means no long "pending" state 🤠

6/6 When the quota runs out, the app picks: → top it up → or let users pay normal gas again Try it on Pegasus Testnet with the self-serve whitelisting tool, or talk to us on Discord for Mainnet 👇 discord.gg/lightlinkchain

5/6 So where does the gas go? The app prepays its quota in stablecoins, ETH or $LL That's converted to the native token to pay the nodes, so the chain still runs like a normal Ethereum-based chain The cost just moves from the user to the app

4/6 Step 3: the user sends a tx with → to = the whitelisted contract → gasPrice = 0 No ETH in the wallet, no gas prompt The app's quota covers it

3/6 Step 2: it whitelists contracts Only the contracts the app names can spend its quota Everything else on LightLink pays gas in ETH as usual

86
2/6 Step 1: the app registers on-chain It signs up in the Enterprise Smart Contract with: → its name → a main account address → quota units per month → wei per quota unit That's its gas budget, recorded on-chain

1/6 "Gasless" gets thrown around a lot On LightLink it's a specific mechanism, built into the protocol Here's what actually happens when an app turns on Enterprise Mode 👇

Weekly stats for LightLink Mainnet: → 233.3M blocks → 94.3M txs → 5.9M addresses → 945.6K txs in the last 30 days Blocks still landing every ~0.5s 🤠

LightLink already builds around this idea with 500 ms blocks and Enterprise Mode, which lets apps offer gasless transactions The next leap isn't just making LightLink faster It is making the blockchain feel lightning-fast while LightLink handles the speed underneath lightlink.io/

And to process more txs per second, devs can implement parallel tx processing, doubling or tripling the number of transactions that can be completed in the same amount of time Sadly, simply increasing block size or decreasing block creation time affects security, so we should be creative

One way is preconfirmations—a wallet or dApp can tell users that a transaction will be included before full settlement arrives By just telling the user, "It'll be ready in 10 sec," instead of showing a pending animation, you give users confidence and a sense of speed
