John Wolpert / Baseline AMA at Smart Contract Summit 2020
summary
Baseline Protocol frames a technique for using blockchain as ordering and hash management rather than a database, showing live integrations with Chainlink (oracles/VRFs), Hyperledger Fabric, Cord a as a messaging layer, and projects with BP and Coke One North America. The community counts 600-700 contributors. Specific pain points: 30% of counterparties excluded by current integrations, disputed receivables tied up ~ $100M with 40+ day resolution, and concrete roadmaps include batching, rollups and synthetic-data approaches to preserve privacy.
