Kindelia: a minimal peer-to-peer computer that isn't a cryptocurrency
Kindelia is a peer-to-peer functional computer capable of hosting decentralized apps that stay up forever. Essentially, it is a minimalist redesign of Ethereum's idea, built upon type theoretic foundations. Differences include:
-
There is no native coin. It is not a cryptocurrency. It is a cryptocomputer.
-
It can host functional apps cheaply, thanks to the HVM and its functional opcodes.
-
It can host real-time apps cheaply, thanks to 1s blocks, reversible heaps and zero-cost SSTOREs.
-
It is extremely minimalist. The Rust client has about 10k LOC, vs 600k+ LOC used by Go Ethereum.
-
It is maximally decentralized, not just tech-wise. Political and economical centralization are addressed.
-
It is PoW-based, forever. In fact, PoS isn't even possible, since there is no built-in currency.
