🚧 Project Abundance 🚧
Researching next-gen blockchain architecture (as of 2025) to achieve ultimate scalability in permissionless setting and fully resolve Blockchain Trilemma. May or may not succeed but must be fun.

Async transaction processing

This week I continued working with the client database and integrating it closer with the rest of the node. A key integration point that was missing completely and still not implemented was state management. The core parts of the consensus do not involve state management, but transaction processing will. So I was considering various ways to process transactions and came up with an idea I’ll be pursuing that should work nicely, but is also a bit unlike most of the blockchains out there.
Client database prototype

The biggest update since the last blog post is that an initial prototype of the database was merged. It lays the foundation in terms of fundamental architecture and will now be extended to support more features. There were also updates in a few other areas.
Sparse Merkle Tree and client database preparation

After adventures with rust-gpu, which I still monitor periodically, I moved on to the client database implementation, which is required for proper blockchain operation, and which is one of the bigger undertakings. Unfortunately, the database as such isn’t quite ready yet, but I did some preparation and would like to share some details about the database architecture.
