@golovach-ivan, Have you gotten any sponsor for this? If No, please don't proceed until someone from the marketing organization supports this with a budget.

@golovach-ivan A reference book is under way in the rchain/Rholang directory. I would be very interested in getting involved in anything that happens here, as I am building the formal semantics of Rholang for precisely this purpose. Feel free to contact me on discord at @ Derek.
