Become a sponsor to Dr. Maxim Orlovsky

Engineer, transhumanist, researcher from Zug, Switzerland

Having left scientific career (PhD in Neuroscience) and business (CEO in fintech companies) these days I am full-time focused on extreme programming practices acting as a creator and lead engineer for Layer 2 and 3 projects in Bitcoin and Lightning Network ecosystem. These projects are devoted to building censorship-resistant and private foundation for maintaining self-sovereignty, both financial/economical and computational/informational. These activities are being managed under of auspices of non-profit LNP/BP Standards Association, which we founded together with Giacomo Zucco, and include:

  • RGB: extremely private smart contracts (based on trustless bearer rights) for Bitcoin & Lightning using client-side validation (nothing is stored in the blockchain other than zero-footprint commitments in form of public key tweaks)
  • Generalized Lightning Network: extension of Lightning network (and LN node in Rust) suitable for running DLCs, channel factories, RGB and many other experiments on LN
  • Internet 2: Rethought Internet protocol infrastructure with Tor, Noise protocols and LN running on top of usual Internet TCP/IP stack, providing no single point of failure (no DNS, SSL, PKI, reliance on IPs), censorship-resistance and working in "always end-to-end encrypted" mode
  • Storm: trustless long-term storage with bitcoin smart contracts. No tokens required!
  • Prometheus: trustless high-load & scalable computing with bitcoin-based smart contracts. No tokens required!

Sponsor funds will be used to run LNP/BP Standards Association, leading/overseeing all mentioned standards, protocol, libraries and reference implementation development. Currently I am funding the Association from personal funds and my company’s (Pandora Core AG), so any help is valuable.

@dr-orlovsky

Reaching this goal will show demand on self-sovereign tech on top of Bitcoin (LNP/BP)
