## THE FUTURE OF NETWORK <a href="#hello" id="hello"></a>

#### **Silicon is a next-generation Ethereum Layer 2 network built for real-world usability, powered by Polygon zkEVM.**

It offers a familiar yet evolved Web3 experience — where scalability meets identity, and where infrastructure is designed not just for performance, but for people.

### ✅ Fully Ethereum-Compatible

Silicon shares full EVM compatibility with Ethereum L1, allowing developers to seamlessly deploy existing smart contracts and integrate with the broader Ethereum ecosystem.

### ⚡ Faster, Cheaper, and More Scalable

Compared to Ethereum L1, Silicon delivers significantly faster transaction speeds and lower gas fees, unlocking higher throughput for both applications and users.

### 🧠 Powered by Polygon — and Part of the Agglayer Ecosystem

Silicon is built on [**Polygon zkEVM**](https://polygon.technology/polygon-zkevm), one of the most advanced ZK-rollup technologies available, combining Ethereum-grade security with ZK efficiency.\
As a member of [**Agglayer**](https://agglayer.dev/), Polygon’s multi-stack interoperability layer, Silicon connects with a growing network of sovereign zk-powered chains — unlocking seamless cross-chain experiences and shared liquidity in the future.

### 🧩 Built-In Identity Protocols

With native protocols like **Open Cohort** and **Named Wallets**, Silicon enables programmable group formation and persistent onchain identity — allowing for richer, more human-centered Web3 applications.

### 🇰🇷 Integrated with Korea’s Leading CEX

Silicon is uniquely positioned within the Korean Web3 landscape, offering seamless UX by integrating with the nation’s leading centralized exchange [(Korbit)](https://lightning.korbit.co.kr/). This allows for smoother onboarding and greater accessibility for everyday users.

## Silicon's Vision

Silicon aims to become a place that embodies the following values in the emerging era of Web3.

#### Where everything starts.

Silicon is the new basis of the upcoming Web3 ecosystem, like the element 'Silicon', a key part of sand and modern technology, it holds immense potential.

#### Where everyone can be anything.

Like tiny grains of sand that can become anything, in the Siliocn, everyone has the potential to become anything.

#### Where every identity meets.

In Silicon, everyone can freely express their individuality and transparently record it on the blockchain, forming the foundation for strong communities.

#### Where every community thrives.

Communities formed by individual identities can surpass their limits with tokenomics.\
Silicon is a new social network that enables communities to create, grow, and thrive.

#### Where every path is open.

Silicon aims to foster the exchange and revival of true Web3 community culture through seamless interaction with other blockchains.
