Galactica Network is a Layer 2 blockchain built with the Arbitrum Orbit SDK, designed to provide the core infrastructure for compliant, privacy-preserving identity and reputation in decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized society (DeSoc), and real-world asset (RWA) applications. Galactica leverages Arbitrum’s secure, scalable L2 architecture while introducing its own identity-centric execution environment - the Identity Virtual Machine (IVM) - purpose-built to power zkKYC, and programmable compliance across chains.
