About Thrylos

Thrylos is a single-client, Move-based proof-of-stake L1, optimised for auditability over feature count. The design reuses existing, reviewed components rather than inventing new ones:

• Consensus: BFT proof-of-stake with single-slot finality — a committed block is final, so there’s no reorg depth to reason about.
• Execution: the pinned MoveVM (from Sui’s move-vm-runtime), unmodified. Adopting an existing, audited VM instead of writing a new one removes a whole class of unaudited risk.
• State: a flat key-value store under a Merkle trie, kept up to date incrementally rather than rebuilt each block.

Where it is today

The alpha runs as a single host with four validators. Move packages can be published, called, and — since the most recent reset — can keep state: balances, counters, anything a package’s own code defines. Gas is priced from measurement (about a microsecond of validator time per unit), not guessed.

It’s still early. Public reads of computed (not stored) values, a firewall, and an outside security review of the VM path are all still open. None of that is hidden — the project’s own operational notes are public in the GitHub repo.

The full technical spec — requirements, trust tiers, consensus and state details — is docs/spec.md in the repo.

No token, no sale

Thrylos has no token sale and no distribution. The testnet coin exists only to pay for transactions on the alpha network and is worth nothing outside it.
