Hello, GnoLand What’s GnoLand? Jae Kwon, a core contributor to the Cosmos and Tendermint has been designing a new blockchain called Gnoland with the goal of optimizing the consensus process between validators, the completeness of the smart contract language, and the sustainability of the tokenomics. Why GnoLand? “At first, there was Bitcoin, out of the 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.” Gnoland is built to introduce a performant blockchain that’s capable of running smart contracts that fully leverages the advantages of Golang and the advanced hardware of modern computers. How? Gnoland adopts a new language called Gnolang, a fork of the Golang. A clear advantage of Golang compared to other languages is apparent when dealing with concurrency. Golang consumes seemingly less memory (as little as 0.2% of threads) and fully utilizes all cores of the hardware. Let’s look forward to GnoLand.
