Daniel Pigeon, Technical WriterOver the last few years, we've all come to understand that smart contract platforms are limited. But how? And why? What exactly makes smart contract platforms so expensive and congested? In this deep dive article, we dissect the flawed design of smart contract platforms-- both from a technical perspective and from an economic perspective. The single, shared blockchain model is technically limited and cannot provide businesses with the autonomy and scalability they need to successfully adopt blockchain technology. Learn more about the limitations of smart contracts and how Komodo's multi-chain architecture offers superior blockchain chain solutions here: komodoplatform.com/limitations-of-smart-contract-platforms/

Daniel Pigeon, Technical WriterThe Oracle Problem is one of the main issues currently limiting the functionality of smart contracts. In short, the problem is this: how can off-chain data be transferred onto a blockchain in a trustless and decentralized way? Komodo is always innovating and developing at the cutting edge of the blockchain industry. Keeping with that tradition, Komodo's Lead Dev James 'jl777' Lee has solved the oracle problem. It's yet another barrier to blockchain adoption that Komodo has lowered. Learn more about Komodo's new trustless oracle solution in this article by Torsten Sándor, one of the newest members of the Komodo team: komodoplatform.com/the-promise-of-smart-contracts-and-the-oracle-problem/
