Greg Meredith & Nash Foster: RChain – The Scalable, Concurrent and Performant Blockchain

Episode Summary

A fundamentally new kind of blockchain platform, RChain is rooted in a formal model of concurrent and decentralized computation.

Episode Notes

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.
