# Technical Questions #### Do I need to know cryptography to build on TORUS? No. If you know Solidity, you can build on TORUS. We have abstracted the heavy math into simple data types like euint. #### How fast is TORUS? Currently, TORUS processes transactions faster than the Ethereum mainnet. With the upcoming release of our hardware acceleration (ASICs), we expect to surpass high-performance L1s within two years. #### Is the code open source? Yes. The TORUS philosophy is "Verify Everything." Our cryptography libraries, node client, and coprocessor logic are all open source on GitHub. #### How do I get involved? Join our Discord, read the docs, and start building. The transparency bug has been fixed. The rest is up to you. --- # 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.
