(former Basho engineer and committer on Riak and Antidote) No, it's not Riak. [Full disclosure: work was started in 2013/2014, with Basho, as an alternative to Riak and shares Riak Core as a base. At the time, Basho was a member of SyncFree.] It's built on Riak Core, but it's a lot different from Riak in many ways: no replication in the DC, transactions, more data-types, operation-based CRDTs and not state-based CRDTs, log vs. in-place replacement in the storage backend. I mean, the analogy is poor: it's even less close than saying that Riak is Cassandra and vice-versa.
