Our networks have four types of nodes:
- Validators: Participate in the consensus protocol for block generation.
- Boot: They serve as a proxy between writer validators, as well as between validators and boot, in addition to enabling the on-boarding of new nodes.
- Writers: They introduce transactions into the network from external applications and services.
- Observers: They can only make queries against the network.
The nodes are operated by different entities in the network in a decentralized way and connect to each other in a peer-to-peer manner. Read more.
GAS is the magnitude to measure, in Ethereum-based networks, the computational effort required of the network to process a transaction. Like all blockchain networks, our networks support a maximum amount of transaction processing per second. As we have erased transaction fees, our networks require an alternative mechanism to manage the use of the network. LACNet has developed an edgy mechanism to distribute GAS not to end-users but writer nodes, allowing an equitable distribution of resources and maximizing the network’s availability. Read more.
The consensus protocol of our network is IBFT 2.0, which derives from the use of the Hyperledger Besu base protocol. This protocol is proof of authority, where nodes take turns to propose new blocks. To reach a consensus,2/3+1 signatures are required. Additionally, LACNet has developed an edgy validator rotation mechanism that maintains a pool of 11 active validator nodes and an unlimited number of backup validators that rotate according to performance and decentralization rules.

LACNet follows the LACChain Framework for permissioned public networks. This framework establishes essential concepts of centralized orchestration to ensure decentralized governance and operation. Read more.
As a result of the work on self-sovereign identity compliant the LACChain ID Framework, LACNet is the ideal network for deploying all types of identity solutions and verifiable credentials, being able to use the LACChain ID Framework, the open-source tools, and the step-by-step manuals. Read more.
All our developments are open source. consult our technical documentation to explore them further.
You can use our Pro-Testnet environment to deploy your project or solution if you are in a temporary period of testing or simulation. By doing this, you will get familiar with LACNet’s infrastructure and decide if you want to move to the Mainnet. The Pro-Testnet network has the same features as the Mainnet but is limited for testing. The Pro-Testnet can be reset at any ti and does not have individualized support service. To deploy a node in the Pro-Testnet, you need to follow the following process.
We have several manuals for the deployment of your first smart contracts:
