Public Testnet: You Are Invited
Today the first public ZooBC testnet is live, running node v0.2.1. Everything you need to try it, run a node, or earn a place at genesis is at zoobc.network.

Side-channel Attacks
Security Audit: Inviting the Adversary
A system you have not tried to break is a system you do not understand. With testnet running for months, and real users watching, it was time to invite professionals whose job is to be…

Interoperability
Ethereum Compatibility: Speaking Multiple Languages
The best developer experience is not “learn my world.” It is “use what you already know.” ZooBC has its own logic, its own primitives, its own rules. That does not mean developers should…

Stress Testing: Breaking the Testnet on Purpose
If you respect your network, you try to break it before someone else does. After a month of stability, we did what responsible builders do: we attacked our own testnet, systematically, with…

Testnet Launch Day
Today the ZooBC testnet went live. I want to describe this the way it felt, not the way press releases pretend it feels. Launch day is not fireworks. It is a long checklist, a quiet room…

Code Hardening: Earning the Right to Launch
One month before testnet, the most dangerous thing I could do is add features. Public networks do not fail because the idea is wrong. They fail because the implementation trusted the world…

Manifesto
The Call
This week I am not shipping code. I am shipping intent. ZooBC has crossed a line that is easy to miss when you are deep in the build. For months, the question was: “Can I rebuild the…

Comprehensive Documentation: Sharing Knowledge
This week feels different. The pace slows down a bit. Outside, it is holiday season. Fewer emails, fewer distractions, fewer expectations to ship something flashy right now. That makes it…

Multisig & Escrow: Building Trust Mechanisms
This week, I work on something that goes beyond protocol mechanics. Speed, consensus, and cryptography are necessary, but they are not enough. If ZooBC is going to be useful in the real…
