Continuum aims to answer the question: Who came first? Surprisingly enough, there is no cryptographic primitive/trustless way to answer this at fine-grained time resolution as of today. The closest thing we have is committee-based fair-ordering protocols that operate at coarse

Continuum is now live on testnet. You can check out the explorer here: https://t.co/RiEVfjtJu0 And learn more from the whitepaper: https://t.co/0JZ6CowUaA (This is the last post in the thread)

Introducing @ContinuumChain - the first blockchain with fair ordering guarantees at microsecond resolution.

First, the sequencer must have an internal source of time - we use a recursive Weselowski VDF as proof of elapsed time, at microsecond resolution. Second, when assigning these timestamps, the sequencer must be blind to the contents of the order. We achieve this by utilising

Continuum is a trustless, verifiable sequencing protocol. It allows users to trust that all incoming orders were treated the same, and indexed fairly upon arrival. While the full protocol is described in our whitepaper, we can highlight two key aspects required to make this

Answering this question in a trustless manner is of great significance in high-frequency trading, and for market microstructure of on-chain order books. Additionally, in a high-stakes adversarial environment, there is every incentive for various participants to lie about the
