Still working on this?
Hi,
Basically, since I found no funding for this, I'm working on this "in my spare time", which isn't that often.
Want to help?
We've (DataBlocks inc) built an edge oriented database engine that has its own data block architecture and format that would work really well with this.
DataBlocks essentially provides the sql lite piece of your arch.
One major difference from sqllite is that our engine can handle resolving, flattening, and querying over multiple blocks at the same time, so you don't have to query each block separately and compose the result.
Another one is that we compile from c++ down to wasm and with a little Javascript shim we run in web apps. So you could query a blockchain directly in an app without having to hit a rpc endpoint.
We've raised money but have run out of runway. Databases are hard to fund, and we're working out next steps.
One area we also thought about but never went deep on was exactly as you have implemented here, having the underlying blockchain data architecture be more like a database. You could solve a lot of the query problems smart contract developers are trying to solve through things like oracles.
Would love to explore a potential collaboration.
As you say, databases are hard to fund - that's why I'm working on this essentially in my spare time, which means very, very rarely :)
