Platform Architecture

February 2026
A decision framework based on participation, governance boundaries, operational ownership, and data visibility.
An Operational Decision
The first decision inside Cerulea Studio defines the architectural topology of the system. This choice determines validator structure, governance mechanics, infrastructure ownership, and operational control boundaries. It is an operational decision, not just a technical one.
Public L1 Model
Designed for open ecosystems. Choose this model if your system requires permissionless participation and community-driven governance. Infrastructure is operated by distributed network participants.
Public deployments lower your direct infrastructure costs but increase the coordination overhead required for governance decisions.
Private Chain Model
Designed for sovereign environments. Choose this model if access must be permissioned and the organization must own the validator infrastructure. Standard for deployments facing strict compliance requirements.
In a Private Chain, governance authority remains inside the organization. While this model increases infrastructure responsibility, it grants the deploying organization absolute operational control and data sovereignty.
