This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Polkadot

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • quacc

    Crypto quality

  • Kind of a side note, I tried doing something like this for the various Bitcoin forks and a couple other popular cryptocurrencies back in 2018 (see the QuACC - Quality Analysis of Cryptocurrency Codebases) repo if you are interested, although it's very out of date now). It turns out that it's not entirely straightforward to determine programmatically how secure code is.

  • gossamer

    🕸️ Go Implementation of the Polkadot Host

  • There are a few other implementations of the Polkadot Host available. ChainSafe is currently developing a Go version of the Polkadot Host, Gossamer, and Soramitsu is creating a C++ version, Kagome.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • kagome

    Kagome - C++20 implementation of Polkadot Host (by qdrvm)

  • There are a few other implementations of the Polkadot Host available. ChainSafe is currently developing a Go version of the Polkadot Host, Gossamer, and Soramitsu is creating a C++ version, Kagome.

  • openbrush-contracts

  • There have definitely been some challenges in improving the performance of Wasm smart contracts. These have all seemed like engineering challenges to me, not basic theoretical roadblocks. You have to remember that Solidity/EVM and its tools have been around for years, while Wasm smart contracts and the surrounding ecosystem are still really in their infancy, although there are teams helping to build more tools for it (e.g. https://medium.com/astar-network/swanky-the-all-in-one-wasm-tool-50c0ed9f07a6, https://openbrush.io/) .

  • zeitgeist

    An evolving blockchain for prediction markets and futarchy.

  • However, there are quite a few projects which are a bit different or are C2C focused, even aside from the ones you mentioned (e.g. Subsocial). For example, Totem Accounting's KAPEX parachain which allows for on-chain recorded accounting. Robonomics allows you to control real-world hardware via its parachain (I've taken a few pictures of different nebulae and minted NFTs from them by controlling a telescope via Robonomics Network). Zeitgeist is developing prediction markets.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
