TechFlow news — Linera, a new public blockchain founded by former Libra team members, released its whitepaper today. The whitepaper introduces Linera's concept of operating many chains—potentially millions—in parallel within the same validator set, termed "microchains." In Linera, scalability is achieved by adding chains rather than increasing block size or block production rate. Linera encourages users to operate their own microchains. When a microchain is operated by a single user, Linera employs a simplified pool-less consensus protocol inspired by reliable broadcast.
Linera’s founder and CEO, Mathieu Baudet, is a former Meta employee who previously helped build the Libra blockchain. Linera completed a $6 million seed round in late June led by a16z. (Source link
