Today's blockchains have fallen short. Current systems are
constrained by the single chain problem. Sequential computing
inevitably limits scalability and speed, while increasing
transaction costs.
Massive energy and computational requirements are
major obstacles to mass adoption of decentralized systems.
RChain is a blockchain platform for distributed applications.
Intelligent, concurrent execution throughout the network unlocks
blockchain's potential for transactions of every type and scale.
Designed for maximum efficiency at minimal computational and
environmental cost, RChain provides the foundation and utility for
global coordination. Innovations in consensus and concurrent
processing increase transaction velocity, security, scalability, and sustainability. Unlike other chains, RChain's
concurrent computing capabilities exist natively in the architecture.
At the center of the RChain platform is Rholang, a breakthrough
smart contract programming language based on Rho-Calculus
innovation.
Lightweight and expressive by design, Rholang is
executed by RNodes with fine-grained concurrency. Rholang gives
developers a straightforward, safe, and fast tool for blockchain
transactions.

Reflective Higher Order Calculus (Rho Calculus) is the breakthrough computing model that powers RChain. Rho powers RChain’s unmatched efficiency at scale and makes it possible for developers to build safer dApps, faster.
Namespaces, virtual groups of RNodes within the RChain network, can be customized by developers for specific parameters.
Namespaces act as virtual channels on the network, independently and concurrently processing transactions.
Next-generation sharding divides the network into optimized pieces, eliminating the race conditions found in other chains.
Developers are empowered to determine how contracts will be executed and optimzed for application-specific requirements.
Every namespace, process, and transaction is inspected and formally verified before executing.
Write code rapidly and confidently, knowing code and contracts must be correct by construction.
Fine-grained concurrency enables developers to choose an optimal, right-sized validation path for every transaction.
