Woofun AI reports that Morph has launched Tachyon, an independent Layer 1 blockchain engineered specifically for on-chain trading markets and high-performance financial applications. While existing Ethereum Layer 2 solutions will continue to support payments, stablecoins, and open finance, Tachyon provides a dedicated infrastructure for trading activities.

As a standalone L1, Tachyon operates with its own consensus mechanism and settlement system, targeting a block time of 200 milliseconds. The network supports up to 200,000 transactions per second, delivers instant finality, ensures a gas-free user experience, and maintains EVM compatibility.

Furthermore, the decentralized perpetual trading platform PopDEX will utilize Tachyon as its underlying infrastructure, collaborating with Morph to develop high-performance scenarios focused on on-chain derivatives, liquidity, and capital efficiency.
