Rholang is anew concurrent language
Rholang is an open and scalable blockchain language designed for speed and reliability. Build on latest research from the reflective high order calculus.
compile code written in
- complete asynchronous language
- runtime engine written in type safe language (scala)
- concurrency build into the language
propose smart-contract to the global distributed Rchain network
- types of interaction bounded by namespaces
- sharding for validators
- asynchronous notification for names in a contract
- scalable DAG structure (Directed Acyclic Graph)
The language you've been waiting for
Rholang is build on the latest research on concurrent languages. Up to now all functional languages are built on the lambda calculus. With Rholang we built a new language on top of the reflective high order calculus (rho-calculus). This leads to a full concurrent language, with a very simple and safe way for developers to write concurrent code. Rholang is a new calculus from research led by Greg Meredith inspired from the pi-calculus.
A new consensus layer
Most blockchains are running serial like a chain, with that, throughput is very limited. Rchain is using DAGs (directed acyclic graphs) that have a tree like structure and scale massively. Further Rchain uses proof of stake from research led by Greg Meredith, Kent Shikama, Christian Williams and Vlad Zamfir. The research solves current problems in Pos (Proof of stake) algorithms. Additional Rholang code is fully verified and the whole Rchain project code is written in Scala. With that Rholang is currently the only language, where the DAO Bug with Ethereum would have not happened.
A large community
The community for Rholang is the Rchain community. Rchain is founded as a cooperative with the democratic thinking in mind - one member - one vote. With more than 1500 registered members, Rchain elects new board seats and functions as a decentralized cooperation.
Build for dApp developers
The Rholang developer ecosystem is growing. With a new type-safe api, dApps can be written for Rchain. Many dApps like RChain-Status, Dappy, MyRchainWallet, nth-caller-game, RSign, RCat and many more are developed by the community. Tutorials and an upgraded RNode API makes it easy for new developer to come onboard.

A better way to build apps for distributed computing
Rholang makes it simple & fast to build modern dApps.
new helloworld, stdout(`rho:io:stdout`) in {
contract helloworld( world ) = {
for( @msg <- world )
{ stdout!(msg) }
}
| new world, world2 in {
helloworld!(*world)
| world!("Hello World")
| helloworld!(*world2)
| world2!("Hello World again")
}
