# Silk, a silky smooth implementation of the Loom specification
|
||||
|
||||
Loom is a new achitecture for a high performance blockchain. Its whitepaper boasts a theoretical
|
||||
throughput of 710k transactions per second on a 1 gbps network. The first implementation of the
|
||||
whitepaper is happening in the 'loomprotocol/loom' repository. That repo is aggressively moving
|
||||
forward, looking to de-risk technical claims as quickly as possible. This repo is quite a bit
|
||||
different philosophically. Here we assume the Loom architecture is sound and worthy of building
|
||||
a community around. We care a great deal about quality, clarity and short learning curve. We
|
||||
avoid the use of `unsafe` Rust and an write tests for *everything*. Optimizations are only
|
||||
added when corresponding benchmarks are also added that demonstrate real performance boots. We
|
||||
expect the feature set here will always be a long ways behind the loom repo, but that this is
|
||||
an implementation you can take to the bank, literally.
|
||||
throughput of 710k transactions per second on a 1 gbps network. The specification is implemented
|
||||
in two git repositories. Reserach is performed in the loom repository. That work drives the
|
||||
Loom specification forward. This repository, on the other hand, aims to implement the specification
|
||||
as-is. We care a great deal about quality, clarity and short learning curve. We avoid the use
|
||||
of `unsafe` Rust and an write tests for *everything*. Optimizations are only added when
|
||||
corresponding benchmarks are also added that demonstrate real performance boots. We expect the
|
||||
feature set here will always be a ways behind the loom repo, but that this is an implementation
|
