Explanation¶
This section is for the questions that don't fit a narrative chapter: the why behind design choices, and the answers to the questions that come up most often.

The why behind the key design choices: RISC-V, Molecule, static committee first, single-chunk court path, no permissionless validators today.
-
Answers to the questions that come up most often, from "what's a Cell?" to "is Myelin production-ready?"
What "explanation" means here¶
The Myelin docs have a layered structure:
- Concepts — the primitives (Cell, CKB-VM, Myelin).
- Architecture — how Myelin is built.
- Interactions — how Myelin talks to L1 / L2 / off-chain.
- Operations — how to run Myelin.
- Security — what Myelin proves.
The Explanation section sits across those layers. It's for context that doesn't fit one place — the design rationale, the common misconceptions, the answers that take more than a few sentences.
