Tesseract¶
Cross-Rollup Atomic Transaction Execution System
Tesseract enables coordinated transaction processing across multiple Layer 2 rollups with atomic execution guarantees. Built with Vyper smart contracts for maximum security.
What is Tesseract?¶
Tesseract is a production-ready protocol for executing atomic transactions across multiple blockchain rollups. It solves the fundamental challenge of cross-chain coordination by providing:
- Atomic Execution: All-or-nothing transaction semantics across rollups
- Dependency Resolution: Intelligent handling of transaction dependencies
- Time-Bounded Coordination: Guaranteed execution within defined windows
- Security-First Design: Built with Vyper for memory safety and overflow protection

Use Cases¶
Cross-Chain DeFi¶
Execute atomic trades, rebalance liquidity pools, and coordinate lending operations across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.
Enterprise Workflows¶
Enable complex business logic across blockchain networks for supply chain, identity management, and payment rails.
Protocol Infrastructure¶
Build bridges, oracle networks, and interoperability layers with strong atomicity guarantees.

Architecture Overview¶
Tesseract uses a buffer-resolve-execute pattern:
- Buffer: Transactions are submitted with dependency information
- Resolve: Dependencies are validated and timing constraints checked
- Execute: Ready transactions are atomically executed across rollups
