THELOGICALINDIAN - On November 27th 2025 RChains architect Greg Meredith and blockchain scientist Atticbee were arrive as guests to an AMA hosted by the Hoo Barter Hoo is a Dubai based addition apprenticed crypto barter and has their inhouse developed accessible alternation HSC congenital for the all-around cryptocurrency bazaar In this affair Greg Meredith and Atticbee aggregate the latest developments in RChain and arresting account about the approaching of the blockchain and metaverse
Built as A Coordination Technology, Instead of Payment Platform
According to Greg, RChain focuses on blockchain as a allocation technology to accommodate a agency for all-around allocation as altitude get added and added astringent due to altitude change. RChain is advised as a scalable all-around computer and accumulator mechanism, rather than a payments system. It is absurd to body a accepted purpose computer out of a banknote register, while to body a banknote annals out of a accepted purpose computer is like a airing in the park.
This is the aboriginal blockchain that scales linearly. This agency that as you add nodes/hardware it gets faster, not slower. The accepted analysis abstracts shows that the testnet gets almost 1,000 tps per bulge per CPU. So a arrangement of 10 nodes with 10 CPUs anniversary gets 10,000 tps. 20 nodes with 20 CPUs anniversary gets 20,000 tps, etc. Abstracts can be realistically stored, updated, and searched on-chain.
RChain’s acute arrangement accent Rholang, is a circumstantial transactional concern language, reconciling the best of SQL and NoSQL. It agency one can address adult queries to chase stored data, which distinguishes itself from systems like IPFS. Acute affairs can be statically arrested for accommodation and aegis errors. So, errors like what acquired the DAO bug will be bent at abridge time not in deployment. Imagine what would accept happened to Ethereum if they had been active at 40K tps back the DAO bug was exploited.
Synergy Between Metaverse and RChain
In the AMA Greg explained his continued captivation in the metaverse area. He formed anon with the antecedents of VR/AR, was assassin at the analysis lab area Kim Fairchild did SemNet, by Kim Fairchild himself. He additionally was the one who appropriate to Alan Wexelblat the appellation Software.
However Greg bidding his apropos about our absolute world. Yes, the metaverse is hot, but planet Earth is alike hotter. In fact, in as little as a decade we are acceptable to see added than 1.5C temperature acceleration authoritative the close area uninhabitable, with wet ball altitude — area the clamminess and temperature are so aerial your diaphoresis cannot air-conditioned you off — authoritative it so that bodies will not alike apperceive that they are dying of calefaction exposure. Unfortunately, about 40% of the world’s citizenry lives in the close zone. So, in as little as 10 years, 2.8B bodies are activity to become altitude migrants. Unfortunately, those 2.8B bodies will not be able to move into the metaverse. It won’t be any acknowledgment for the servers active the simulations.
Atticbee after commented that this catechism needs to be answered: what is the role of blockchain in the metaverse? If metaverse alone uses blockchain to barter bold props, basic absolute estates etc as NFTs, again the accepted technology may be acceptable enough, at atomic if the transaction aggregate is low. However if Metaverse tries to simulate the absolute world, and uses blockchain as the accurate accretion layer, RChain’s accretion archetypal is abundant afterpiece to how the absolute cosmos works than the accompaniment apparatus acclimated by around all added projects. As Greg Meredith said before, change has already best out the best circumstantial accretion model, and the consecutive Turing apparatus is never the called one.
Also the basal blockchain technology and the high band metaverse will mutually activate and evolve. Just like in history – back we alone had beef engines, we could alone body trains and ships. After we created the agitation engine, we could do cars, airplanes etc. Every tech advance will accessible new doors for tomorrow’s world. With RChain’s circumstantial computing, seamless sharding and on-chain storage, Metaverse will be adapted by RChain’s advance technology.
Click to Play VS Click to Pay
When asked about RChain’s plan for ecosystem development, Greg answered that RChain focuses on a transaction aggregate apprenticed route.RChain is attractive at applications, such as self-sovereign data, online announcement and sponsorship, and amusing networks that accomplish ample transaction volumes. The bread-and-butter altercation is simple. Currently, proof-of-work miners are authoritative millions per day. What would accomplish them appetite to about-face affidavit of pale validators? If you lower transaction costs, you are aloof activity to cut into their profits. If you cut transaction costs by a agency of 100, but accession transaction aggregate by a agency of 1,000, again they angle to accomplish 10X, and at a atom of their ability consumption. Now, you accept a absolute altercation for them to move to proof-of-stake.
Once you accept that transaction aggregate is area the activity is, again you aloof accept to attending at the Internet. How abounding times do you bang to pay against bang to “Play”? That is, how abounding times do you bang to column on Instagram or Twitter or WeChat against to pay a bill or a vendor? How abounding times do you bang to beck on YouTube or Spotify against to pay addition with PayPal, Venmo or WeChat? It’s hundreds (if not thousands) to one. All the transaction aggregate is in bang to “Play”.
And wherever you play, there are ads. In fact, online announcement is the better abridgement in the world. It’s bigger than oil. So, RChain wants to advice bodies accomplish lots and lots of decentralized clicks to comedy DApps: amusing networks, alive services, acumen services, abstracts services, etc. And it wants to beck sponsored agreeable through those decentralized services, but do so in a way that it eliminates surveillance capitalism. It additionally wants bodies to accept a say as to whether their abstracts is awash and if it is awash and get a cut of the profits.
Migration From Other Public Chains’ Ecosystems to RChain
RChain’s sharding band-aid allows added chains to be army as shards. This agency that acute affairs can be accounting as if added chains were aloof RChain resources. In this case, for the RChain side, there is a actual accessible migration.
The better barrier block to clearing is the conflict in the computational model. RChain operates accordingly while best added blockchains accomplish sequentially. This agency added chains cannot handle RChain’s beheading demands. RChain beheading requests to added chains will chain up and chain up as they action them one at a time.
Of course, activity the added way is simple, but it agency that RChain has to apathetic bottomward to bout the consecutive semantics of the added chains.
Toward a Leaderless Global Computer
RChain has been in mainnet for aloof beneath 2 years. Aftermost year it appear a above feature: the aftermost accomplished state, which agency that new validators can accord to the alternation after accepting to go all the way aback to the alpha block. This year it is absolution a above achievement advance alleged block merge, that gives the beeline scaling. It’s the acme of Greg’s analysis of architectonics and mathematics in the aftermost 30 years, some of the assignment can go aback to Microsoft’s BizTalk Process Orchestration that Greg formed on 20 years ago.
As Atticbee explained, there exists the afterward relationships btw “traditional computer” and the blockchain “global computer”:
All these 3 genitalia are all-important for a absolutely advantageous all-around computer. And the computational band should be anxiously called so that all these genitalia can be supported, it agency the called computational archetypal should abutment concurrency, composability and a behavior blazon system.
Figure: Computational Model Comparisons
Unfortunately that leaves actual few choices. From the aloft table, alone Pi or Rho-Calculus can accommodate all the appropriate features. Rho-Calculus is the upgraded adaptation of Pi-Calculus. With absorption with abundant added alive power. It is the aboriginal action of calculus acceptable as a acute arrangement language. And Greg Meredith is the architect of Rho-Calculus.
Figure: The Knowledge Graph of RChain
With the advancing “block merge” anniversary the multi-threading/concurrency adequacy will be demonstrated. After that RChain will accept a “seamless” sharding band-aid that makes abounding shards “look and feel” like one. Finally in the Venus milestone, a behavior blazon arrangement will be implemented to acquiesce bags of affairs to cautiously abet with anniversary other. Above that it will be accessible to add a acute arrangement chart band like a decentralized Kubernetes. Without a anxiously called computational model, all these are absurd and the belvedere will be bound in as a acquittal solution, rather than a all-around computer that can handle a all-around scale, all-in-one accretion basement to serve Web 3.0.
