Elixir for blockchain projects?
I’ve been diving into Elixir and wondering if anyone here has built blockchain apps with it. It seems like the scalability and concurrency features could be a perfect fit for decentralized apps. Would love to hear if anyone’s tried it or has ideas.

I know this project and a few related projects through a friend mine, not sure if he’s hanging out here in the forum.

I think the BEAM is a great fit for building blockchain infrastructure. Its main features are perfectly aligned with what is expected from a blockchain network - highly concurrent, fault-tolerant, and resilient distributed systems.
I have been working on a few Elixir based projects for the Cardano blockchain including the “light” explorer that @rhcarvalho has mentioned as well as Xogmios, the Elixir library used under the hood:

Ha, there was a time where it seemed that every time a job was posted in the jobs sections that it felt impossible to find Elixir work in anything other than crypto/blockchain. That’s not so much the case anymore but if you scroll back a bit through there you will find a bunch of companies that use(d?) it for that.
I personally have zero experience, your question just struck a chord, lol.
Also, welcome to Elixir Forum!
