Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | The Open Network |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Durov's design for a multi-chain system of account-chains gathered into shardchains, with a masterchain that records the others. It began as Telegram's network design and continued as The Open Network after Telegram stepped away from the original launch. |
| Who may write | Nikolai Durov |
| What is settled | Account-chains roll up into shardchains. Shardchains can split and merge. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Telegram's abandoned launch and the later community network are different institutional facts. The paper does not adjudicate them. |
| What this library says afterwards | Split and merge logic is where sharded designs get their bugs. The paper is not a bug bounty. |
