SourceLess is a complex project, and there’s a lot to understand about the different parts that make it work. Some of those parts are highly technical, but we still like to share them from time to time and explain, in plain language, what they do and why they’re there.
One of those parts is 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠, the programming language being developed specifically for the SourceLess blockchain.
When developers write software, the language they use already sets some of the rules like how data is handled, what kinds of mistakes can be caught early, and which capabilities are available from the start.
ARES Lang includes smart-contract support, strong typing and memory safety, zero-knowledge tools, post-quantum cryptographic features and integration with 𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐂𝐲𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫, SourceLess’s three-way encryption system.
GodCypher also incorporates earthquake entropy, using real seismic data as an input for cryptographic randomness.
For developers, this means more of the tools SourceLess needs are already available in the language instead of being added separately later.
Long before Bitcoin, cryptographers were already working on how to prove that a digital record existed at a certain time and detect if it was changed later.
In 1991, Bellcore researchers 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖. 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐚 published a system for cryptographically timestamping digital documents. Each timestamp was linked to earlier ones, so changing an old record would leave evidence. Bitcoin cited their work in 2008.
Thirty-five years later, AI can generate or alter text, images, audio and video at enormous scale. Provenance — where something came from, who created it and what happened to it afterwards — is now a serious technical problem.
One response is 𝐂𝟐𝐏𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬, which uses cryptographic signatures to carry verifiable provenance with digital content. It doesn’t use blockchain.
A major strength of blockchain is allowing different parties to verify the same shared record independently, without one party controlling it.
With 𝐒𝐓𝐑.𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧, ownership is recorded on-chain and can be verified across SourceLess services rather than being tied to one platform account.
