To compete effectively with high-performance centralized blockchains, decentralized networks must deliver an equally responsive and seamless user experience. Achieving this demands overcoming persistent performance bottlenecks. QMDB and FAFO tackle the core challenges in storage and execution, advancing us toward decentralized blockchains that can truly have their cake and eat it too.

A log is all your need. Turns out you can just build a log db with hooks on CRUD and maintain arbitrary secondary indexes. It is as good as thor's hammer with extensions.

How Things Work #4: The Quick Merkle Database (QMDB) and Fast Ahead-of-Formation Optimization (FAFO) Today, we discuss how QMDB and FAFO drive (unbelievable) scalability with @ryanzarick, @IsaacN0tNewton, and @Thomas_S_Kim from @LayerZero_Core. A log is all you need 🪄.

Amazing to get to work with some of the best people in the field at @commonwarexyz.

[UPDATE] We are collaborating with @AndrewLewisPye on a formal specification (and proofs of both liveness and safety) for Minimmit. 👀

Thanks for the shoutout 🙏
