Increasing the value of the Filecoin Virtual Machine through new capabilities and standards.
Goals
The FVM features and standards project aims to:
- Improve the fundamental capabilities offered by the FVM to application developers
- Guide standards for composable, interoperable actors
Challenges & Opportunities
The FVM is a new environment, different to those that already exist. This presents a challenge in the new problems to solve and the raw amount of effort required, but also great opportunities to learn from those that came before.
