<summary>How do synchronously composable transactions work?</summary>

Pylon runs a node for the settlement chain you are deployed to as well as the sequencing node for your appchain and any other appchains in your [Sync Zone](/spire/pylon/architecture-overview.md#sync-zones). Pylon then detects whenever there is a transaction calling into another chain through a [Port Contract](/spire/pylon/architecture-overview.md#port-contracts). It forwards the call to the other chain and then injects the results back into the originating Port contract with a Priming Transaction that frontruns the original application call to ensure the data is available to complete the call. See [Synchronously Composable Transactions](/spire/pylon/features.md#synchronously-composable-transactions) for details.

<summary>How can I trust the data being injected into the <a href="/pages/TnLfcXudx3CBw3mZn0m6#port-contracts">port contract</a>?</summary>

We are working on a TEE based proof process that will ensure data moving across chains is verifiably correct with the speed to ensure a seamless experience. We will be releasing more about this soon!

<summary>What are the trust assumptions for the chain itself?</summary>

We currently run a reth stack based system. So the trust assumptions for the chain are fraud proof based and of course impacted by the parent chain you deploy on. Due to the requirement for coordinated sequencing within a [Sync Zone](/spire/pylon/architecture-overview.md#sync-zones) and the current architecture all appchain sequencers within a [Sync Zone](/spire/pylon/architecture-overview.md#sync-zones) run on a single node. Standard nodes for a given appchain (such as for submitting fraud proofs) can be operated by anyone.

<summary>What stacks/settlement chains are supported?</summary>

Currently we support any op-stack settlement chains but are working on adding support for additional chains. Even if your targeted settlement chain is not already supported we'd love to speak with you about getting your use-case supported. Please reach out through [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdgl5fFhevRbIabnfBBCtb_S2hRbHe27ighW6QMxwiH8jAfpA/viewform?usp=sf_link).&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://spire-docs.gitbook.io/spire/pylon/faqs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
