SILK — the clock before Solana
An interactive browser reconstruction of Silk 0.3.3, the Rust ancestor of Solana, with a live Proof of History clock, ledger, accountant, and verifier.
Field notes
The reconstruction separates Silk into a historian, ledger, accountant, and verifier rather than presenting the old code as a static archive. Its controls expose genesis.log and transactions0.log, let visitors send signed transfers, and include a deliberately negative-amount case reflecting an original bug described on the page. Verification can replay the chain, flip a signature byte to test detection, and use eight parallel lanes on the device.
