Overview

RAVID is not a single algorithm. It is a coordination framework where multiple independent algorithms run concurrently, each governing a different dimension of the system (networking, routing, rotation, placement, storage, proofs), and are synchronized through shared state and timing. RAVID does not assume infrastructure is fixed or centrally controlled. Network routes, running workloads, and where data is stored are expected to change over time. Coordination focuses on managing identity, access, and movement across these parts without relying on static endpoints or permanent roles. RAVID is designed to layer into existing systems gradually, avoiding full replacements or forcing every participant to adopt the same setup.

RAVID keeps day-to-day coordination separate from verification and settlement. High-volume coordination and execution happen off chain, while verification and economic enforcement are handled by an external trust system. In Ethereum-aligned deployments, Ethereum is used to verify cryptographic results, record commitments, and apply incentives or penalties, without taking part in coordination or execution. This separation allows the system to stay flexible and private, while relying on a stable and neutral layer to enforce outcomes when needed.
