"We can have a blockchain where instead of a blockchain working like a Swiss army knife where you have five different tools for five different categories of applications, you have a blockchain that understands general-purpose programming language. ” - Vitalik Buterin, TechCrunch's Disrupt 2017[1]
Prior to Ethereum there were separate blockchains for separate types of rules, namecoin for DNS, "colored coins" for tokens, all very limited, restricting themselves to supporting only one or a few specific applications. The core idea behind Ethereum that allowed it to get past those limitations was to have a blockchain protocol with a built-in programming language, allowing any application to be written on top, and its rules enforced by the blockchain, a general purpose blockchain computer.[2]
Hibryda is doing for consensus what Vitalik Buterin did for applications. Instead of following along with the trend of interoperability[3], which rhymes with the trend of very limited special-purpose blockchains that lacked incentive to integrate because there were not that many applications attached to them, BitLattice is building a general-purpose consensus, one that satisfies the demands of interoperability without the need for multiple states, a single state, Gavin Wood's vision of a global singleton (2014, [4]).
The tweet below from Polkadot is where the world was when it came to logic on blockchains, before Vitalik Buterin built a turing-complete machine. Same trend will exist for consensus, one global state, first many then disrupted by one that integrated all what came before.
