What have we been up to?

⚙️ Building

Since publishing our paper in June, we have been heads-down developing the Counterfactual framework.

All of our contract code has been open-source and available on github since August 1, and last week at DevconIV we open-sourced a monorepo containing all of our code, and released a set of specifications. Keep reading below for more information about the different components of the Counterfactual stack we’re building.

Oh, and we have a shiny new website, too.

👯‍ Collaborating

Designing the Counterfactual framework to be suitably general and un-opinionated has required close collaboration with other teams.

The L4 team has been working closely with Prototypal, Celer, and Magmo, and speaking frequently with Perun, Kyokan, Pisa, Funfair, Connext and many other state channel researchers & developers.

This community has started doing regular state channel researcher calls, which you can watch on youtube here.

🏗️ Open-source community building

Counterfactual is an open-source project, and we’re thrilled to be growing the community of people building it.

Alongside teams from L4 (Jeff Coleman, Liam Horne, Xuanji Li, Nima Vaziri, and Mitchell Van Der Hoeff) and Prototypal (Erik Bryn, Patience Tema Baron, and Joel Alejandro Villarreal Bertoldi), we’re happy to be working with independent contributors like Armani Ferrante, Alex Xiong, Patrick McCorry, and Chris Buckland.
