Remora: Scale-out Deterministic Execution for Smart Contracts
Summary: Remora scales deterministic smart-contract execution via centralized dispatch, distributed workers, and strict object ownership/versioning. Its stateless–stateful separation and locality-aware scheduling reach 250K TPS, up to 3× prior schemes, while adapting to bursty workloads. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
