Musafir: Ethereum's UX Layer

Ethereum's UX Layer

Musafir is the UX layer on top of the modular blockchain architecture, including execution, settlement, consensus, and data availability.

  1. The execution layer is where code is executed in the form of smart contracts i.e. L2s like Arbitrum and Optimism.

  2. The settlement layer is where transactions are settled i.e. Ethereum mainnet

  3. The consensus layer is responsible for establishing consensus on the order of transactions i.e. Ethereum mainnnet

  4. The data availability layer is responsible for storing transaction data i.e. EigenDA, Celestia, and others.

Musafir is introducing a new layer called the UX Layer to significantly improve the UX of interacting with Ethereum and its L2s. The apps that people use through Musafir have instantaneous settlement and developers can build truly cross-chain applications on top of Ethereum and its L2s.

Instantaneous Settlement

Assets deposited to the Musafir Network are instantly available for use on Ethereum and all L2s. For instance, users could deposit their assets on their wallet address on Arbitrum and have it instantly available on all the L2s. They can then swap their assets using Uniswap on Arbitrum or take a loan using AAVE on Polygon. All done and settled instantaneously. They can access their smart wallet using a Gnosis-like interface and sign their transactions using any wallet like MetaMask.

Unified UX

Musafir aims to unify the fractured user experience of Ethereum and bring it on par with monolithic chains like Solana. Using the Musafir wallet, all the dApps on Ethereum and any L2 will be available to be used without bridging and instantaneous settlement.

Build cross-chain use cases

Having instantaneous settlement on any L2 allows for the building of novel cross-chain use cases. For instance, a user can open a liquidity position on a DEX on Arbitrum and use that as collateral to borrow assets on Optimism to be further used on Polygon for other use cases.

Musafir makes Ethereum more secure

Removing the hassle of bridging and offering a unified UX makes Ethereum more secure for the average user. Abstracting away complex interactions is generally a good way to ensure more adoption. Any infrastructure that gets built should ultimately have the end-user experience in mind, and this is what Musafir intends to do.
