Mochi is essentially a Docker Image for a geth client that:
- uses evmone/evmc to replace the built-in EVM with a much faster version
- removes or drastically increases all timeouts and gas limitations of a typical geth client
Kohi's current development state needs Mochi for verifying that on-chain artworks we produce in Solidity/EVM will render.
It can also be used to verify Kohi art pieces, though this is a work in progress.
Yes, at the moment rendering times are anywhere from four hours to nine days, depending on the complexity of the metadata derived from the seed of a given artwork.
It won't always be this way.
The intention for Kohi as a platform is to render these EVM pieces with a GPU, resulting in near real-time performance, and the ability to use EVM to make 3D artworks, and artworks with interactivity (using time as a medium).
Right now, Mochi is required for our early works, but will phase out of existence when further tooling is shipped.
