Silk, a silky smooth implementation of the Loom specification
Solana: High-Performance Blockchain
===
Loom™ is a new architecture for a high performance blockchain. Its white paper boasts a theoretical
throughput of 710k transactions per second on a 1 gbps network. The specification is implemented
in two git repositories. Research 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 write tests for *everything*. Optimizations are only added when
corresponding benchmarks are also added that demonstrate real performance boosts. We expect the
feature set here will always be a ways behind the loom repo, but that this is an implementation
you can take to the bank, literally.
Solana™ is a new architecture for a high performance blockchain. It aims to support
over 710 thousand transactions per second on a gigabit network.

Lastly, run the client demo again, and verify that all funds were spent in the
previous round, and so no additional transactions are added.

Stop the server again, and verify there are only Tick entries, and no Transaction entries.
