The authors of the Acki Nacki Protocol Paper are going to Vegas!
Ok, maybe not, but they are going to a conference in Abu Dhabi, where Mathematician and Researcher at GOSH, Nikita Sattarov, will be delving deeper into Acki Nacki, and its implications in radically rethinking what a blockchain can do.
The Lowdown
The Acki Nacki Protocol Paper has been accepted to The 6th International Workshop on Application Intelligence and Blockchain Security (AIBlock) in conjunction with the Applied Cryptography and Network Security Conference (ACNS 2024), held in Abu Dhabi in March of this year — a testament to the research that has met the rigorous standards of the conference, known for its focus on contemporary challenges and advancements in cryptography. In addition, the conference is sponsored by the Springer Nature Computer Science Book Series, which offers The Acki Nacki Protocol Paper greater potential to reach readers interested in radical innovation in computer science and cryptography.
Recognizing the opportunities for collaboration and further development that these publications will bring (but mostly because they will now be allowed to go outside and see some natural light), the authors of Acki Nacki will be presenting their work at AIBlock at ACNS 2024 in-person. More precisely, the representative will be the aforementioned Nikita Sattarov. For anyone interested in attending the event and engaging with Nikita, we offer a glimpse at the event schedule.
With the unveiling of Acki Nacki on December 2nd, 2023, GOSH has outlined its vision for a groundbreaking consensus protocol which, we believe, can solve for the existing problems of scalability and security within blockchain technology. Now, this vision has become reality. The Acki Nacki TestNet is live. With the protocol in production, developers have the opportunity to try Acki Nacki hands on via this link.
This is facilitated in part through a collaboration with TVM Labs to give access to crucial cloud infrastructure tailored for Acki Nacki. TVM Labs also extends an invitation to developers on other networks to join this enhanced cloud platform, with all code openly available in this repository for community use and contribution, now with GraphQL access extending to all TVM networks. This feature is supported and maintained alongside the popular TVM SDK development framework.

Yes, Acki Nacki Going Live Is That Important.
The development of Acki Nacki was guided by a singular idea: to facilitate a highly scalable, multi-threaded, multi-core execution environment capable of sustaining myriads of operations in parallel. By realizing this, Acki Nacki achieves finality in under 1 second. All while ensuring that the probability that Acki Nacki will be compromised is lower than that of Bitcoin… In fact, so secure is the guarantee offered by Acki Nacki that the chance of a security breach is lower than the likelihood of a comet hitting Earth and causing a catastrophic meteorological event.
Acki Nacki's architecture is the state-of-the-art blockchain. Proof of this technology’s capacity to transcend current limitations.
By delivering three blocks per second on a single thread and enabling any number of parallel threads (constrained only by hardware resources), the concept of near-infinite scalability now has the potential to be functionally realized. As we mentioned in a previous post, the throughput of transactions on Acki Nacki is limited only by the total computing power available.
As part of the announcement of Acki Nacki, GOSH is holding a Hackathon & Grant Program called the Underworld Computer.
We saw that there is enormous potential for development on Acki Nacki, and immediately organized a Hackathon, as part of GOSH Hacks & Grants. Now, the Underworld Computer Hackathon is ending soon.
The Hackathon’s objective is to develop wallet applications; traffic visualization and indexing tools; Validator and CI/CD features; Security tooling for advanced cryptography used in Acki Nacki; Pre-Compile TVM instructions; ZKP for proving TIP-3 tokens; and much, much more. Any tool developers think might be beneficial to the Acki Nacki community is welcome. The Hackathon ends in just over a week. So make sure to participate.
Thought Of The Day
Acki Nacki arrives at a crucial time for blockchain technology. Despite the hype, mass adoption remains elusive. And there is a clamor of financiers, regulators, and developers all in a rush to go faster, leaner, cheaper. With near-instant block finalization, no limit to how much it can scale, and being free to use — all while offering universal security guarantees — Acki Nacki is the first blockchain technology that is truly accessible, truly applicable to a wide range of applications beyond just decentralized finance. The journey of Acki Nacki, from its conceptualization to its acceptance to AIBlock at ACNS 2024, mirrors the evolution of blockchain technology itself—from a niche area of interest to a cornerstone of future digital infrastructure. As we look ahead, the contributions of Acki Nacki are poised to shape the landscape of blockchain technology, heralding a future where the digital and decentralized world is not just a vision but a practical reality.
