Gnoland is a blockchain L1 project launched in 2020 by Jae Kwon, co-founder of Cosmos and Tendermint. Its goal is to create a decentralized, secure and scalable smart contract platform for people to create applications that matter, especially for censorship. The project started as an offshoot of Tendermint, and Jae Kwon is now the CEO of NewTendermint Inc. New Tendermint aims to create a simpler version of the Tendermint framework and use Gno as a toolbox for the new Cosmos project. Almost all existing blockchains are single-threaded, which means that processing multiple transactions at the same time will lead to conflicts between double flowers or states. gnoland offers the most viable solution for this, namely integrating goroutine by supporting Golang as a smart contract language. Gnolang is the language used to write smart contracts called Realms on Gnoland. You can think of it as an interpreted version of Golang: developers upload their domain source to the chain and GnoVM executes its AST interpretation. This way Gnoland pushes full transparency, as it forces developers to push their source code, rather than compiled bytecode. Gnolang will also introduce multi-threading (e.g. go routines and channels) in smart contract development. Jae Kwon suggests a dual-token model using fee tokens with a fixed constant inflation rate (rather than exponentiation like pledge tokens). to maximize the sustainability and usability of token economics. Gnoland is a scalable blockchain that we believe will attract millions of developers to deploy innovative applications and accelerate the transition of the Internet to Web3.
