Linera Protocol is a blockchain or distributed ledger architecture designed for scalable and composable execution across shared state shards. It emphasizes linearizability, causal consistency, and determinism by structuring cross-domain interactions through explicit protocols and asynchronous messaging. Each domain (shard) handles its own commands and state transparently; inter-domain operations rely on well-defined messaging layers and proofs to preserve consistency without central coordination. The protocol supports dynamic reconfiguration: shards can split, merge, or reassign workloads while preserving correctness. By decoupling domain logic from global consensus, Linera can support modular upgrades, domain-specific smart contracts, and high throughput across partitions.
