Truebit - an open source protocol that blows away the Ethereum gas limit At TrueBit, our mission is to bring off-chain execution power to the blockchain, with a verified result you can trust every time. Through a novel incentive structure and architecture, the TrueBit protocol allows trustless, secure, scalable consensus on large computations orders of magnitude beyond what’s possible in Ethereum today. TrueBit is more than a “scalability” solution for Ethereum. It’s a unanimous form of consensus that can trustlessly grab data across external sources, including other blockchains. Imagine sitting around in the 1990’s working on HTTP / SMTP protocols – technology that is used by billions… daily. This is your chance to relive that conversation, to help design one of the critical building blocks enabling decentralized computing, and to see your creative output utilized by a massive open-source community. TrueBit is a Polychain Capital portfolio company. The team is led by Jason Teutsch who co-discovered the Verifier's Dilemma. Christian Reitwiessner, the lead developer and creator of Ethereum's smart contract language - Solidity, coauthored TrueBit's whitepaper. Trent McConaghy, founder of BigChain DB, and Fred Ehrsam, founder of Coinbase, back the project. TrueBit has received citations in the Golem, Livepeer, and 1Protocol whitepapers. Truebit's vision is simple - enable computational scalability on the Blockchain, so machine learning and AI are available for everybody.
