Authored by Colin Adams Last year, ChainSafe received a co-sponsored grant from Polywrap and the Web3 Foundation to develop a Substrate "wrapper." That is, a universal SDK powered by Polywrap's technology that aims to significantly improve the experience of building on Polkadot and Substrate. Background Polywrap is the technology behind

It's been a busy year for team Gossamer! We started with an audit focused on Gossamer's consensus capabilities (i.e., the BABE block production algorithm and the GRANDPA block finalization algorithm) but that also uncovered areas for improvement in Gossamer's RPC layer and SCALE codec implementation. At the end of

Authored by Dan Forbes For anyone unfamiliar, Gossamer is a Go implementation of the Polkadot Host. Once ready, Gossamer will increase Polkadot client diversity and contribute to the resilience and security of the network. In the future, we hope it will also foster growth by providing a modular development framework

Authored by Colin Schwarz ChainSafe is excited to announce that we have recently released Go-Schnorrkel, a pure Go implementation of the sr25519 signature algorithm (schnorr over ristretto25519). sr25519 is the default signing algorithm for substrate so the first implementation is in rust. Go-Schnorrkel was written by ChainSafe engineer Elizabeth and

Authored by Elizabeth gossamer: filaments from a web that was spun by a spider Hello from ChainSafe Systems! As you may have heard, we recently received a grant to implement the Polkadot Runtime Environment (PRE) in Go. We've chosen the name Gossamer for our implementation. Gossamer is the fine material
