"Off the Chain! Scaling Blockchains in Go"
summary
Two concrete systems and measurable outcomes let the decision be simple: a Go implementation called starlight builds payment‑channel agents with a task basket, Bolt persistence, and instant off‑chain payments that only settle on Stellar (network confirmation ~five seconds), plus plans for multi‑hop routing and Interledger/Lightning bridges; a pegged side‑chain experiment (TX VM / sly chain) uses a trusted custodian, a SQL store, and Go goroutines to import/export funds. Claims are implemented, code is open source, and demos show working transfers.
