Gluon Layer2 Whitepaper

Gluon Layer2 is a plasma variant for scaling non-custodial exchanges and DeFi on Ethereum.

We introduce a plasma sidechain designed specifically for non-custodial, high-speed, low-latency trading. We explore extending the value proposition of plasma to a financial institution using comprehensive set of fraud-proofs to enforce correctness and voting to handle data unavailability. We describe a hybrid DEX that enables us to trade at high-speed, at low gas cost, and with support for fast withdrawals without handing over funds custody to the sidechain operator.
