✔5❤ Contract Packaging 👌

[hypercube-lab]

• No VM, program is just an i386 .elf that gets loaded directly into the fullnode process. The .elf will have no external deps (no plt, pic, rx) and we'll write a custom loader that works on Windows, Linux, macOS.

• .so needs to be signed (to identify the author's public key only ?) and verified as being unmodified before loading.

• Source code is any language that can produce a compatible .elf (potentially just C since that'll likely be easiest to get toolchain to output the right .elf but could also a "safe" subset of Rust (no unsafe, external crates, spawn)

• Hosted server service that accepts signed source code, compiles it into an .rexx, and "installs" it on the testnet. Contract ID (publickey?) provided back to the submitter

• Produce an RFC that discusses how programs are loaded on-chain
