Solana co-founder: Want to build a huge synchronous state machine for everything
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, posted on social media stating that Vitalik Buterin's viewpoint is completely correct, and we should go ahead and build a large number of asynchronous environments. Two cool problems that I want to solve are:
A) Establishing a huge synchronized state machine for everything;
B) Synchronizing all important bits of that state machine as quickly as possible under physical conditions.
If a tuna boat sinks in Alaska, affecting the price of tuna in New York and Tokyo, then this news must be transmitted to these markets. I hope that a concurrent Solana block producer in Alaska has transmitted the transaction of the news affecting the prices of all markets in Solana's global state machine.
Therefore, when this news reaches New York and Tokyo, the markets in the global state machine have already changed. There should be no arbitrage between the global synchronized state machine and all asynchronous systems, no matter how fast these systems are.
How much value will this create for the world? Who knows? But all of this can be achieved through open-source software and open protocols that run on permissionless commodity hardware, which only requires a 10gbps link. Therefore, it will be built anyway.
