Redgold is a crypto portfolio contract platform designed around data lake transforms and executors. Uses multiparty native contracts for asset management. Primary use case is ETFs & Portfolio target models (expressing a desired portfolio allocation as a function and having validators automatically fulfill it,) but the platform is designed to be general purpose as a decentralized data lake and relational algebra compute engine for crypto related contracts.

Heavily inspired by Spark and pandas/polars like data transformations on conventional parquet data lakes, with the key distinguishing factor being the ability to support multi-tenant compute with arbitrary secure UDFs compiled by anyone. WASM executors are used for secure remote code execution to chain together transforms operating on SQL-like data loading functions as inputs. Protobuf is used for relational algebra descriptors and for raw signature operations and requests. Arrow is used as a cross-memory format for WASM invocations, with sqlite tables for frequent access and parquet tables for long-lived data indexes. All operations are translated to work with Kademlia distances. ACCEPT consensus protocol is the most similar to the demonstrated primary optimization technique.
