bloXroute Technical Review By Andre Cronje

Today, let’s look at bloXroute, a network abstraction layer for blockchains (plural). Their focus is to create an agnostic infrastructure that can be leveraged by all blockchains. They basically claim Immediate 100x scaling. All blockchains. No protocol changes. Provably neutral. Eh? Really? Yep.

Skrumble Network Code Review: Decentralized Comms

Skrumble Network makes a whole bunch of bold claims about its upcoming ICO - but the real question here is "What is this messaging app doing on the blockchain?" In this code review I'm finding that all the evidence points to an unnecessary blockchain pivot for Skrumble's parent company.

Seele Code Review And Audit – Neural Consensus

The Seele Neural Consensus Algorithm has been getting everyone riled up for a while, and I've performed a Seele code review before - but ok people, I get it, you want another one. As you'll see, I will be keeping my eye on this and there may be further updates on the Seele blockchain to come.
