Steps towards multi-shard farming
So far the block production was basic and very similar to Subspace, despite some key underlying differences. But that is just an early prototype to get beacon chain running, but intermediate and leaf shards must be added into the mix, which substantially complicate things.
In the previous update I shared that the block production started to work on the beacon chain. Well, it did produce the first block, but not that many more, for a variety of reasons. But majority of those reasons are not fixed, so I’m happy to share what they were and where things are at today.
It has been a month since the last update, and I finally have more exciting news to share here. I received feedback previously that grinding on the same topic is not particularly interesting, so I decided to wait for something different to happen, and it finally did, we’ve got the first block on the beacon chain!
