# OpenGDP Network
> OpenGDP Network is the base execution layer for programmable economic activity.
It is an EVM-compatible public network designed for real-world economic workflows where value, instruments, controls, and autonomous systems need to operate with predictable performance, privacy, and auditability.
OpenGDP Network provides the execution substrate for the OpenGDP Platform: moving value, programming assets, orchestrating workflows, and connecting dedicated economic networks launched through OpenGDP Network Stack.
## What OpenGDP Network does
OpenGDP Network is designed to support mission-critical economic execution at scale.
It provides:
* **Settlement execution:** Fast, predictable execution for stablecoin settlement, value movement, routing, and liquidity.
* **Programmable instruments:** Native support for assets with lifecycle rules, transfer controls, metadata, cashflows, and audit records.
* **Workflow execution:** Infrastructure for approvals, policy checks, conditional settlement, reconciliation, and autonomous systems.
* **Privacy and control:** Protected transactions, operational metadata privacy, permissions, and selective disclosure patterns.
* **Dedicated capacity:** Execution resources for high-priority economic activity and application-specific workflows.
* **EVM compatibility:** Standard developer tooling and composability for builders deploying applications on OpenGDP.
## Design goals
OpenGDP Network is built around five design goals:
* **Predictable execution:** Economic workflows need consistent performance, deterministic outcomes, and clear failure modes.
* **Institutional control:** Applications should be able to enforce permissions, policy logic, approval paths, and compliance requirements.
* **Programmable assets:** Instruments should carry lifecycle behavior, transfer rules, cashflows, metadata, and auditability.
* **Operational privacy:** Sensitive transaction data and operational metadata should be protected while still supporting disclosure when required.
* **Developer familiarity:** Builders should be able to use familiar EVM tooling while accessing primitives built for real-world economic execution.
## Protocol features
The OpenGDP Network section covers the protocol features that make economic execution possible:
* **Private Transactions:** Protected transaction flows and operational metadata privacy.
* **Dedicated Blockspace:** Capacity for mission-critical economic activity.
* **Adaptive Multi-Proposers:** Execution architecture for performance and resilience.
* **Stablecoin Gas:** Fees paid in stablecoins for predictable user and developer experience.
* **Automatic Fee Swaps:** Fee conversion and routing for supported assets.
* **Native Orderbook:** Pricing, routing, and liquidity primitives for settlement workflows.
* **EVM Compatibility:** Standard interfaces and developer tooling.
