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 discussed in this episode: - How Rchain spun out of the Synereo project - The primary objectives RChain seeks to establish - The fundamental principles of RChain and RLang - The concepts of concurrency and parallelism in simple terms - How building concurrent systems implies scalability - The unique features of Casper consensus in the context of RChain - The importance of namespaces in RChain - Why this project was started as a cooperative - The current status of the project and roapmap Links mentioned in this episode: - RChain Website: https://www.rchain.coop - RChain Rholang SDK (v0.1) Released: https://medium.com/rchain-cooperative/rchain-rholang-sdk-v0-1-released-5f6bc35bf3e9 - A Visualization for the Future of Blockchain Consensus: https://medium.com/rchain-cooperative/a-visualization-for-the-future-of-blockchain-consensus-b6710b2f50d6 - Introducing Rholang! at Devcon 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tW1fAWg6s8 This episode is also available on : - Epicenter.tv: https://epicenter.tv/221 - YouTube: http://youtu.be/kojlx2ykRsA - Souncloud: http://soundcloud.com/epicenterbitcoin/eb-221 Watch or listen, Epicenter is available wherever you get your podcasts.
