The first ever RChain Cooperative membership meeting is set for October 24th. The agenda and venue will be announced in the coming weeks, but look forward to conversations around the RHOC and REV token supply, governance and developer programs. 

 

What is a namespace?

Development leadership and discussions have been migrated to the Discord. Discussions on RhoLang, Behavioral Types and more are ongoing. Please join us! Here’s an example of a foundational part of RChain, Namespaces.

The complete conversation is archived in #proof-of-stake on RChain's membership Discord. 

"A namespace is just a collection of names. All blockchain addresses are names.

“A collection can be described in a few ways.

“One of them is extensionally by explicitly spelling out each item in the collection.

“Another way is intentionally by providing a rule or program that either generates the collection or recognizes when an item is in the collection or out of the collection.

“The more interesting namespaces are the intensionally specified ones." ...

“@stay was spelling out the intensionally specified ones.

“Now, the next step is to relate those to users, contracts, and nodes...."
