# Network Architecture The Up Network architecture is designed to be highly decentralized and scalable. It operates on a network of lightweight nodes, primarily hosted on mobile devices, which contribute to the overall decentralization and resilience of the network. The architecture supports both MoveVM and EVM ecosystems, ensuring broad compatibility and enabling seamless interaction between different blockchain networks. **Key Features:** * **Decentralized Nodes:** Operates on mobile devices, creating a global network of smart mobile nodes. * **Interoperability:** Supports assets and contracts from both MoveVM and EVM, ensuring broad utility across different blockchain ecosystems. * **High Performance:** Capable of processing 160,000+ transactions per second (TPS) with minimal gas fees, ensuring fast and cost-effective transactions. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
