Analog is a suite of interoperability protocols built on the Substrate SDK. It is designed to be a one-stop solution for multi-chain and cross-chain needs, particularly for native DApp development.
At the core of Analog is the Timechain, a consensus-agnostic protocol maintained by a decentralized validator set. The Timechain serves as the main ledger for activities occurring within the Analog ecosystem.
The key benefit of the Timechain is the enhanced security it offers for DApps operating in multi-chain and cross-chain environments. This includes features like Analog Watch, Analog GMP, and Analog Automation.
