# Settlement Layer & Scaling

**Settlement Approach** The protocol deploys critical integrity commitments to guarantee trustless settlement, while offloading execution and matching to a distributed privacy-preserving L2 EVM settlement layer.

**Base**

The base network will be integrated, because of the efficient and improving network.

**Benefits**

* High throughput
* Confidentiality of order flow
* On-chain verifiability
* Reduced gas costs

**Future Scaling** Alternative scaling layers under evaluation while retaining integrity model.

**State Management**

* Verifiable state roots
* Efficient state transitions
* Checkpointing for recovery
