Protocol Architecture
Technical overview of M2 Protocol's architecture and design
High-Level Overview
M2 Protocol is built on Avalanche C-Chain, leveraging its high-performance EVM-compatible infrastructure to enable fast, low-cost machine-to-machine transactions. Our architecture is designed for scalability, security, and ease of integration.
Core Components
M2 Smart Contracts
Core smart contracts deployed on Avalanche C-Chain handling token operations, staking, and M2M payment logic.
- • ERC-20 compliant M2 token
- • Payment channel contracts
- • Staking and rewards distribution
- • Governance mechanisms
Transaction Layer
Optimized transaction processing for high-frequency M2M payments with minimal gas costs.
- • Batch transaction support
- • Gas optimization techniques
- • Transaction priority management
- • Automatic retry mechanisms
SDK & API Layer
Developer-friendly interfaces abstracting blockchain complexity for easy integration.
- • REST API endpoints
- • WebSocket real-time updates
- • Multi-language SDKs
- • GraphQL query interface
Security & Monitoring
Built-in security features and real-time monitoring for protocol health.
- • Audited smart contracts
- • Rate limiting and DoS protection
- • Transaction validation
- • Anomaly detection systems
Why Avalanche C-Chain?
High Performance
Sub-second finality and 4,500+ TPS capability for high-frequency M2M transactions.
Low Fees
Transaction costs under $0.10, making microtransactions economically viable.
EVM Compatible
Full Ethereum compatibility allows use of existing tools and infrastructure.
Eco-Friendly
Proof of Stake consensus with minimal environmental impact.
Scalability Design
Built for Growth
M2 Protocol is designed to scale with demand:
- Layer 1: Direct Avalanche C-Chain transactions for high-value operations
- Payment Channels: Off-chain micropayment channels for high-frequency transactions
- Batch Processing: Aggregate multiple transactions to reduce gas costs
- Future L2: Potential Layer 2 scaling solution if needed for extreme throughput
