What is Sunrise?

Sunrise is a specialized Data Availability (DA) Layer designed to enhance security and liquidity in blockchain rollups and Layer 2 (L2) solutions. It extends Berachain's Proof of Liquidity (PoL) model to these environments, maintaining compatibility with the Celestia architecture. This integration allows developers to build rollups and applications with improved data availability and fee abstraction capabilities.

The Sunrise protocol features unique functions such as DA Fee Abstraction and Off-Chain Blob Data Availability, which are tailored to support scalable and efficient blockchain operations. It also incorporates Sovereign Proof of Liquidity (SPoL), which incentivizes liquidity providers and enhances the overall network security.

Gluon, a sovereign rollup on Sunrise, acts as a strategic yield hub and interface for liquidity provision, further enhancing the capabilities of the Sunrise ecosystem. This setup allows for innovative applications like AI and gaming to be fully on-chain.

Sunrise generates revenue through transaction fees, swap fees in the liquidity pool, and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) captured using protocols like Skip. Additionally, its design ensures that developers and users benefit from a seamless and cost-effective blockchain experience.
