Open Sourcing a Critical Component of the Covalent Network: The Block Specimen
by niall on Jan 26, 2022

TL;DR:

  • Covalent is excited to ship 4 brand new products:
    • a new whitepaper specification for the “Block Specimen”, a novel invention to securely extract data from blockchains with cryptographic proofs
    • an open-source reference implementation of the Block Specimen (a set of patches atop the popular Ethereum client Geth)
    • the Covalent Network roadmap
    • a set of imagery as wallpapers to celebrate the Covalent Network progress
  • To date, no one has addressed the read scalability issue in Web3. The Block Specimen presents a unified, canonical schema that can be applied across multiple blockchains.
  • With the reference implementation now open-source, we expect to see broad adoption of the specification across blockchain ecosystems.
  • The first phase of the Covalent Network, which includes CQT single-sided staking, is expected to go live at the end of Q1 2022.
