⚓️ GLOSSARY TIME: ELASTIC SCALING
Agent activity doesn't happen at a steady pace. Market volatility, liquidation events, task auctions, and spikes in model or service calls can trigger thousands of agents to act within seconds
A network built for the agent economy needs to handle these sudden bursts without compromising execution stability
That's the idea behind Elastic Scaling on Pharos
It coordinates multiple layers to absorb traffic spikes:
- Networking: Classifies and propagates incoming traffic based on origin, risk level, and task type
- Consensus: Maintains prioritization and finality under congestion
- Execution: Uses dependency analysis and parallel scheduling to process transactions more efficiently
- SPN: Handles specialized workloads such as AI, ZK, MPC, and risk control, reducing pressure on base-layer execution
Built for activity that doesn't wait 🦾
