Final distinguishes itself along three dimensions:

Technology — Adaptive High-Performance: Final is designed to deliver the specialization and adaptivity necessary for making cloud-like performance and efficiencies a reality in a decentralized setting. This is made possible by Final’s unique, integrated multi-layered architecture consisting of a base layer (Main Chain, abbreviated as mChain), an application layer (a multitude of Ephemeral Chains, abbreviated as eChains), and an adaptation layer (Optimization Chain, abbreviated as oChain). Final continuously evolves its configuration via the oChain to ensure every app has precisely the services and computing resources it needs to achieve optimal performance for its use case.
Economics — Embedded Value Drivers: Final adopts an economic model focussed on dynamism and long-term growth. First, Final unlocks pricing power and an expanded addressable market by delivering specialized computation rather than one-size-fits-all, commoditized computation. Second, Final natively incorporates a suite of Core Facilities that drive sustainable, self-reinforcing value flows directly into the protocol. These Core Facilities — including derivatives and spot trading facilities, stablecoin facilities, lending facilities, and facilities for other essential financial primitives — ensure that the network generates and captures economic value beyond mere computation.
Ethos — Credible Neutrality: Final represents a direct return to the principles of what made the earliest networks so powerful. First, Final has been developed from scratch alongside a set of utilities purpose-built for the network, ensuring technical independence and sovereignty. Second, the initial implementation of Final has been developed without a reliance on institutional capital, ensuring the network’s evolution is directed by its community (including its core contributors).

Further details will be made available in the forthcoming Final whitepaper.
