That is wild! I'd also like to learn more about this. The language is a bit, idk superlative, but if it does what it says then it would be great.

- toomim 2y agoYes, when I wrote that stateb.us/what page, my intent was to express the aspirational vision of statebus. It soon became clear that, in order for the vision to succeed, we needed the network protocol to become a widely-used standard. Thus began my Braid work. I started approaching the IETF to learn how to standardize State Synchronization in HTTP. I ran across this HN comment by JosephG [1] making a call to the same mission. I sent him an email, we decided to team up, and we went to dwebcamp in California and then IETF in Montreal together, and made a presentation to the HTTPWG proposing to extend HTTP into a state sync protocol. We got an enthusiastic reception, and I have been working on it ever since. The HTTP extension is getting into pretty good shape, and we're now manifesting the promises on that /what page. They aren't all production-ready (e.g. no blockchains built on statebus/braid yet), but they are coming true at a steady clip!
