Focus
In a digital universe defined by "hard" forks and immutable ledgers, traditional chains have become brittle. Legacy infrastructure cracks under high throughput. Transactions are dry. The ecosystem suffers from friction.
Our research focuses on "connective tissue." We are engineering a layer that is not just secure, but fluid. By utilizing Hyperledger Besu and IBFT/QBFT mechanisms, we create infrastructure that holds together without cracking.
The primary implementation of our "Elastic Consensus" thesis. A high-performance ledger designed to act as the viscous layer of Web3.
"Our 'Genesis Chef' sought to develop a hyper-efficient ledger within the EVM framework. During stress testing of the consensus engine, the parameters were adjusted for maximum fluidity—effectively 'spilling' quantum-resistant logic into the block production layer. The result was not a break, but a bounce."
Pine Ink is a distributed team of researchers, cryptographers, and engineers. We do not seek the spotlight. We seek stability in a chaotic digital frontier.
