Satsuma Engineering
Building a live Solidity Layer-1, in the open.
Deep-dives, comparisons, and updates from building Satsuma — on performance, architecture, and the developer experience.

The Same Bridge, the Parity Way — and the Bill
We rebuilt our trustless bridge with the stack that runs Polkadot↔Kusama: pallet-bridge-grandpa plus ordered message lanes. Same trust model, different machinery — and this time every proof lands as a signed transaction with a fee on the record. The head-to-head, measured.
Why Satsuma Has 2-Second Blocks
Block time is the one performance setting a chain can't change after it launches. Here's why Satsuma's is two seconds — and why faster blocks don't actually make a faster chain.
Inside Satsuma's Performance Benchmarks
A look at what the benchmarks measured, and how. What a 'transaction' even means, Satsuma's numbers next to a chain everyone knows, and a plain decode of the '143,000 TPS' headline you've probably seen.
Introduction to Satsuma
A live, sovereign Solidity Layer-1 — Ethereum-compatible, final in seconds, public to read and permissioned to write. A visual tour of what Satsuma is and the choices that shape it.
