announcement

It has been around a year since the project started, and I would like to share a brief summary of what has happened so far, where the project is at and what’s coming next. I’ll only capture the highlights and key outcomes here, presented in rough chronological order.

Welcome post mentioned briefly initial set of constraints that led to the creation of this project, but I figured it might be helpful to have a short writeup about it that might be helpful for sharing. In short: we’re building a blockchain. By “we” I really mean just me and Alfonso so far, but I hope more people will join over time if they find it interesting.

The big change from the last update is that Alfonso de la Rocha has joined me as a part-time researcher to help with sharding designing. Code-wise, there were also a bunch of performance benchmarks and optimizations.

Hello, world 👋! This is the beginning of hopefully successful thing I call “Project Abundance”. After writing initial set of constraints and thinking about it for quite a while, it is finally time to dedicate all my time to it and see where it leads us.
