Hello,

As we grow closer to the After-Target period, the Block Collider team is rapidly accelerating development. Yesterday’s completion of Block Collider’s OPCODEs is one significant step forward in our journey towards AT and ultimately a world where trading can be relentless, unstoppable, and borderless. This email is #3 in the Block Collider Global State series. Each email is broken into three sections: Performance Metrics, Next, and The 6th Blockchain.

Performance Metrics

In this update, we look at new technologies or “0 to 1” meaning it did not exist in the ecosystem before Block Collider. While collectively valuable, each of these innovations can be use to advance the industry in ways previously impossible or to gain efficiency.

No-Validators
We have yet to be introduced to an interoperability protocol that does not believe that ‘some’ trust is ‘ok’. As is often the case the harder path is often the most valuable. From relayers to validators, this is centralization of power through capital or infrastructure. We believe you should be able to move between blockchains — or any data structure — and do so equal access and a product so decentralized you must turn off the internet to stop it.

Proof Of Distance (PoD)
A Proof of Work mining algorithm that enables the verification of ‘current state” of each child chain in the multichain. Proof Of Distance has will be used in many ways now and in the future, it can be used to measure pseudo-random chaotic data of any structure.

Rovers
Block Collider’s mechanisms to provide the most powerful cross-chain data feed in existence. These highly optimized network processes which scour the known blockchain ecosystem for the latest blocks. The result is rovers operate 10–30% faster than even the native node designed for the blockchain.

BORDERLESS (prev. MADEX)
A first of its kind, truly decentralized exchange allowing you to trade and lease Emblems. Borderless is a flagship application demonstrating how other exchanges can use Block Collider to operate truly decentralized order-books, partial orders, and interchain transactions.

Multichains
A new type of data structure which that weaves multiple chains together into a new mineable, decentralized blockchain.

New Language (BEAM)
The native scripting language used by Block Collider. Bitcoin uses OPCODEs to execute transactions. In the same vein, BEAM extends this language to support cross-chain transactions, promises, callbacks etc…

Super Collider
A new multi-chain made up of multiple multi-chains. This is made possible due to the PoD’s ability to integrate disparate blockchains, and the fact that multichains built with Block Collider are their own chains. The focus of this technology is for colliders run by jurisdictions or enterprises.

Dark Fibers
Method of integrating centralized chains into a decentralized multi-chain protocol without compromise. Dark Fibers algorithmically restructure timelines to enable support of things beyond blockchains such as websites or databases.

Project Spectrum (public name not announced)
This is the largest update to the decentralized ecosystem ever presented since the introduction of Proof of Work. As with much of our work if you look closely parts of the technology have been in the code base for two years and in every wallet ever created. If Block Collider is the not-consumer-facing highly technical “TCP of the internet”, Project Spectrum is the consumer facing computer that makes the internet usable by the world.

Next

  • Next week’s update include a detailed rollout plan for After Target. This will include timelines for: Borderless Launch, Automated Rover Control (ARC) Block, and Spectrum Naming Announcement
  • Launch of Borderless (prev. MADEX)
  • After Target Milestone and the update to 0.8.5
  • Release of the ARC Block with NRG balances.

The 6th Blockchain

With Ethereum already integrated it will not be projects that just launched on an ETH/EVM fork or clone (AION, AELF, TRON, etc…)
