Gno.land is a next gen smart contracting platform. Plan9 on steroids. Imagine Ethereum 3.0. At first, there was Bitcoin, out of entropy soup of the greater All. Then, there was Ethereum, which was created in the likeness of Bitcoin, but made Turing complete. Among these were Tendermint and Cosmos to engineer robust PoS and IBC. Then came Gno upon Cosmos and there spring forth Gnoland, simulated by the Gnomes of the Greater Resistance.

Smart contracts languages have not been optimised well enough, even to this day, so that we fully achieve all of the following: concurrent, parallel, robust, secure, fast transactions. We are still unable to take full advantage of modern hardware.

Solana is the closest we have had to a multithreaded processor but that is not without (severe at times) shortcomings such as: degraded performance due to increases in high compute transactions that reduce network capacity, resource exhaustion causing chain halts etc.

GNØ Land aspires to create a smart contracts language, a framework, that will be simple yet complete, so that the consensus process between validators is optimised, while taking full advantage of multi-core processors being one itself.

Thus GNØ Land will be a multithreaded smart contracts environment, where the concurrent, parallel processing of thousands of smart contracts would be possible, unlike with most other blockchains we know to this day.

This will be made possible mainly because of the optimised language called #gnolang, that Jae Kwon (founder of Cøsmos) is currently developing. Jae attempts to optimise the development environment so that concurrent, parallel, robust, secure, fast transactions are made possible.

On top of the above, GNØ Land will reside on Cøsmos Ecosystem, taking full advantage of the Cøsmos stack namely: Cosmos SDK, Tendermint Core and IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) Protocol.

GNØ Land will be an IBC enabled chain itself and the author of this article understands that this blockchain could be destined to be the protagonist (along with the Cøsmos Hub) of the interoperable, multi-chain future Cøsmos aspires to.
