Today, I'm happy to introduce NOMT: The Nearly Optimal Merkle Trie Database.
State access and state merklization are the main bottlenecks in blockchain scaling at the moment. NOMT has been created to solve this problem.
We push modern SSDs to their limit and make running highly scalable blockchain nodes accessible on normal hardware. Committing enormous numbers of real transactions per second to a database of 100M+ accounts on a regular SSD is now possible.
This work is based off of an architecture from @prestonevans__ from @sovereign_labs and has been funded by Sovereign, targeting the Sovereign SDK as the first user.
Our vision for NOMT is for it to become the primary state database driver for performant blockchain nodes everywhere.

Happy to release the initial Jam spec in the Gray Paper (10 years after my release of the Yellow Paper): A proposal for the future of @Polkadot. https://t.co/thL6CSNGUp
Support for running ink!'s E2E tests with chain snapshots!
๐ You can now use our E2E API to test contracts with production state. This takes testing contract upgrades and debugging production bugs to a new level.
๐ Made possible with @AcalaNetwork's Chopsticks tool!
If you want to double-check that your transaction on @Polkadot will go through successfully, you can now fork the chain locally on @PolkadotJs and test it out! Thanks to @AcalaNetwork 's Chopsticks.
This applies to @kusamanetwork and all of the parachains, test nets in the ecosystem. Basically, every chain built using Polkadot-SDK can avail this feature!
@0xTaylor_@rphmeier EVM itself doesnโt care about 18 decimals. All the tools built around EVM assume a full coin has 18 zeros. Maybe itโs time for these tools to upgrade
@giottodf So polkadot, a multichain network built on substrate to get away from EVM, is becoming just an EVM chain itself. What is the purpose of polkadot then?
