Important SUAVE terms. |
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Builder solidity | solidity with access to precompiles that help facilitate the processing of transactions and intents. |
| Confidential Compute Request (CCR) | a user request to Suave that contains (1) SUAPP information such as to and calldata, (2) confidential inputs, and (3) a list of SUAPPs and Kettles allowed to operate on confidential inputs. [🔗spec]. |
| Confidential Data Store | stores confidential data for SUAPPs (L1 transactions, EIP 712 signed messages, userOps, private keys, and more). [🔗spec]. |
| Developer | creates smart contracts on SUAVE Chain that define rules for SUAPPs. |
| Domains | a system with a globally shared state that is mutated by various players through actions (e.g. “transactions”) that execute in a shared execution environment. |
| Domain-Specific Services | provides functionality to interact with target domains (i.e. for Goerli or Arbitrum, simulate transactions, build bundles, build blocks, …). [🔗spec]. |
| Intent | refers to “what” the desired outcome of an action on a blockchain should be as opposed to transactions which specify “how” an action should be performed. |
| Intent Executor | actor who is responsible for taking consolidated user intents and executing them on a domain. |
| Kettle | accepts and processes confidential compute requests and maintains the SUAVE chain; the logical unit of the SUAVE network and main protocol actor. [🔗spec]. |
| MEVM | modified EVM with a set of precompiles to interact with APIs for Confidential Data Store, Domain-Specific Services, and more. [🔗spec]. |
| OFA | an application that receives transactions and either facilitates an auction on top of it or routes it elsewhere. |
| Peekers | contracts with the correct permissions - granted by users in CCRs - to get and put data in the Confidential Data Store. |
| Precompiles | purpose-built functions with extended capabilities that can be called from Builder Solidity. [🔗spec]. |
| Rigil Testnet | The current test network. Naming convention follows the stars in the Alpha Centauri system. |
| Relay | actor in the mev-boost protocol that is responsible for validating blocks and offering them to validators upon request. |
| RPC | Endpoint to receive user transactions, which moves confidential input to the Confidential Data Store, and passes the compute request to MEVM. |
| SUAPP | SUAVE application, smart contracts on SUAVE chain with rules for confidential computation and functions to submit to target domains (i.e. chains). |
| SUAVE Chain | a fork of Ethereum designed to facilitate credible, confidential execution in MEV use cases. Main purpose is to reach (and maintain) consensus about smart contract code. [🔗spec]. |
| SUAVE transaction | the transaction object that is broadcast on the SUAVE Chain. Contains the result of a CCR in its calldata + the signature of the Kettle(s) which computed said result. |
| Solver | actor who takes many user token trades as input and competes to provide a solution to the mathematically optimal way to route all trades. |
| User | humans or computers interacting with SUAPPs, primarily through sending confidential compute requests (CCR) to Kettles. |
