Komodo's Lead Dev jl777 develops a trustless oracle solution!
The Oracle Problem is one of the main issues currently limiting the functionality of smart contracts. In short, the problem is this: how can off-chain data be transferred onto a blockchain in a trustless and decentralized way?
We're proud to announce that Komodo's Lead Dev James 'jl777' Lee has solved the oracle problem. It's yet another barrier to blockchain adoption that Komodo has eliminated.

The Limitations of Smart Contract Platforms
Over the last few years, we've all come to learn that smart contract platforms are limited. But how? And why? What exactly makes smart contract platforms so expensive and congested?
In this deep dive article, we dissect the flawed design of smart contract platforms-- both from a technical perspective and from an economic perspective. The single, shared blockchain model is technically limited and cannot provide businesses with the autonomy and scalability they need to successfully adopt blockchain technology.
Komodo's multi-chain architecture offers superior blockchain solutions. With Komodo's technology, every project gets their own blockchain with its own consensus rules, network, and coin. Transaction fees are always paid in each chain's native currency. Plus, each blockchain created with Komodo's technology has the ability to scale on demand and independently host smart contracts, dApps, games, and more.
