I will be working on a new smart contract platform that I believe will offer fundamentally transformative capabilities within the blockchain industry
I suspect it will be a competitor to ethereum, that runs smarter, and leaner. It also probably will allow interopability between Bitshares, Steem, and other chains (that's where the "transformative capabilities" come into play)
Either way:
if Dan's working on it, it's gonna be good. (tm)
I know of a project which fits the bill. I don't suppose that Dan is working on this project but ... I can guess :)
