RChain Architecture

The RChain platform architecture description provides a high-level blueprint to build a decentralized, economically sustainable public compute infrastructure. The RChain design is inspired by that of earlier blockchains; it unifies decades of research across the fields of concurrent and distributed computation, formal semantics, and programming language design. The RChain platform boasts a modular, end-to-end design that commits to correct-by-construction software and industrial extensibility.
