Gnoland is a smart contract platform being developed by 𝗝𝗮𝗲 𝗞𝘄𝗼𝗻, the founder of 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗺𝗼𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 and 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘁. The main value of Gnoland is programming in Gnolang, a fork of the popular programming language Golang.

𝗝𝗮𝗲 𝗞𝘄𝗼𝗻 believes that because Gno is deterministic, intuitive and resource efficient, it is superior as a smart contract platform compared to Solidity and using a fork of Golang can attract new developers since there are more Go developers globally than Rust developers.

Currently, Gnoland is working with the community through testnets, focusing on building basic DeFi infrastructure such as DEXs and stablecoin implementations.

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

Thus Gnoland 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.

𝗚𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 First blockchain to use Gnolang. Native token is GNOT. A fork of Tendermint The fork will eventually become the official Tendermint2 Will host import packages from other Gnolang projects Governed by contributors

𝗚𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 Standalone L1 smart-contracting platform. Contracts written in Gno. It's like Go, but more ambitious. Interpreted code, not WASM. Upload sources, not binaries. Completely deterministic for complete accountability. Transactional persistence across data realms.

Designed for concurrent blockchain smart contracts systems. Designed for inter-blockchain. They keep it simple yet complete. It's being build to become a reference standard to teaching. Enforced transparency. Writing contracts like writing apps.
