High Performance Apps with State Channels
summary
Claims that state channels enable instant, fee-less off‑chain transactions while preserving on‑chain security, with Nitro and a simplified Nitrolite implementation, an ERC-7824 standard, and TypeScript/Go SDKs. Presents surprising scale numbers (Intel ~400,000 MIPS vs Ethereum ~350,000 MIPS) to motivate offchain compute, describes a working Teleport mesh network that forms a virtual ledger, and reports four years of engineering leading to a deployable RPC protocol, SDKs, and smart contracts that reduce offchain protocol complexity.
