Think of Ethereum 3.0.A modern platform for smart contracts is http://gno.land. Plan9 with a boost. Then there was Ethereum, a cryptocurrency designed to be similar to Bitcoin but to make Turing complete.Out of the bigger All's entropy soup, there came first Bitcoin. Slow, expensive, unintuitive — these are the stereotypical traits that come to mind when using or coding applications on existing blockchains. Despite the heavy inflow of capital into the blockchain scene during the recent years, developers that are focusing on decentralized apps that run on smart contracts are quite scarce. The likely reason behind this is the lack of an efficient smart contracts platform for developers to commit to. We believe that Jae Kwon is building Gnoland 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. We, as Gnomes, look forward to exploring ways to contribute to the development and adoption of Gnoland, a scalable blockchain that we believe will onboard millions of developers that will deploy innovative applications, accelerating the transition of the internet to Web3.
