0L
A reference implementation of a neutral replicated state machine, forked from Libra/Diem with enhancements for decentralization and permissionless operation.
What is 0L?
0L is a blockchain platform forked from Libra/Diem, providing a neutral replicated state machine for decentralized applications. It enhances the original architecture by removing centralized control, adding Sybil resistance via Delay Towers, and enabling permissionless participation. The project focuses on maintaining the core Libra/Diem technology while making it suitable for public, decentralized use.
Blockchain developers and node operators interested in building or running applications on a high-throughput, Move-based blockchain with novel consensus mechanisms. It also targets users seeking to participate in mining and network governance without heavy hardware requirements.
Developers choose 0L for its robust Libra/Diem foundation, the safety and flexibility of the Move language, and unique features like Delay Towers and hot upgrades that enable a truly decentralized and upgradeable network without reliance on Proof-of-Stake.
Overview
0L is a blockchain platform forked from the Libra/Diem codebase, implementing a replicated state machine with a focus on neutrality and decentralization. It inherits the advanced architecture of Diem while removing centralized control mechanisms and adding novel features like Delay Towers for Sybil resistance.
Key Features
- Move Language — A safe, ergonomic smart-contract language with built-in formal verification for adversarial environments.
- Decoupled Execution — Enables parallel transaction processing for high throughput, leveraging Libra/Diem's execution layer.
- Delay Towers — A Sybil resistance mechanism using sequential proofs of elapsed time instead of Proof-of-Stake.
- Hot Upgrades — On-chain governance for system upgrades without hard forks or operator intervention.
- Auto Pay — Supports scheduled and recurring payments, useful for donations and automated fund distribution.
- Carpe Desktop App — A combined wallet and light miner allowing desktop users to participate in mining.
Philosophy
0L aims to maintain close alignment with the Libra/Diem codebase for ecosystem stability while layering on decentralized, permissionless features to transform it from a consortium chain into a neutral public network.
