We’re joined by Greg Meredith and Nash Foster of the RChain Cooperative. A fundamentally new kind of blockchain platform, RChain is rooted in a formal model of concurrent and decentralized computation. Powered by the Rho Virtual Machine, and secured by Casper proof-of-stake, RCain is partitioned, or shareded by default, forming a network of coordinated and parallel blockchains. The project, which is formed as a coop, leverages correct-by-construction software development to produce a concurrent, compositional, and massively scalable blockchain.
Topics covered in this episode:
How Rchain spun out of the Synereo projectThe primary objectives RChain seeks to establishThe fundamental principles of RChain and RLangThe concepts of concurrency and parallelism in simple termsHow building concurrent systems implies scalabilityThe unique features of Casper consensus in the context of RChainThe importance of namespaces in RChainWhy this project was started as a cooperativeThe current status of the project and roapmap Episode links:
