> Yes, in fact I see hardly any cryptocurrency stuff with rust. Really? Solana [0] a top 10 market cap cryptocurrency is written in Rust and so is its smart contracts. NEAR Protocol is another [1] one as well as Sui [2] and Polkadot [3] written and using Rust.

Eth and Bitcoin don't have high usage. And the issue with the single validator mentioned, as you'll be aware from reading https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/pull/28172, wasn't a design failure, but a software issue. Bitcoin and Eth have those too.

Sure - it’s a bug, it’s been fixed. The issue occurred on 30 Sep and there’s a discussion here: https://solana.com/news/09-30-22-solana-mainnet-beta-outage-... And the fix: https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/pull/28172 That’s how software works. Things break. They particularly break at scale. Nobody’s done this before. If Eth was as busy it would break too.

You can contribute to the Solana core tech team, with the incentive alignment of underlying token value as a partial backer! I think they're doing some really cool stuff on the network optimization level. As an example, Solana recently implemented QUIC in its latest release: https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/projects/74

Hey folks! Solana (https://github.com/solana-labs/solana) is hiring for a couple rare skill sets. * low latency UDP networking * berkeley packet filter * llvm/GPU/SIMD acceleration * gossip, epidemic protocols, CRDTs If this sounds interesting please email me at anatoly@solana.com. We have been remote and open source from day one.

I am working on one https://github.com/solana-labs/solana But also take a look at the most promising sharding project: https://github.com/nearprotocol/nearcore Two complete different approaches.

My fault! Filecoin is great! We are also building a blockchain that is based around Verifiable Delay Functions and has been open source from day one. VDFs can be used to track time in a permissionless network in a way that works before consensus. Which opens up a wealth of distributed systems optimizations that involve a synchronized clock. If that sound interesting, check out https://github.com/solana-labs/solana

We have been Apache 2.0 open source from day one. https://github.com/solana-labs/solana Kudos to filecoin! And choosing Apache 2.0 as the license.

Or just use a vdf as the ledger :) https://github.com/solana-labs/solana

I am working on a project that’s cryptographically encoding passage of time as data, with a millisecond resolution. https://github.com/solana-labs/solana As long as the fabrication process is the same you can have high confidence at time and order of events that are far apart.

We are building a ledger based on Verifiable Delay Functions. It's like a high resolution decentralized clock. https://github.com/solana-labs/solana
