The question is almost too big to answer, akin to asking about file
systems or sockets. The range of applications for blockchains are
currently too big to count, and only just beginning.
As far as a role for LC, I've seen some interest from LC users but
nothing very specific, and nothing along the lines of libraries or
tooling yet.
I am meeting with another LC user with an interest in this space next
week. If anything noteworthy comes up I'll report back.
In the meantime, my own interest is mostly centered around the corner of
the Ethereum world focused on smart contracts. I have no interest in
speculative psuedo-currency applications, but now that Eth2 is running
and gas fees are plummeting, there's a universe of opportunity in smart
contracts. At the moment nearly all of that work is limited to one
language, Solidity, so that and studying the underlying protocols and
data structures of Ethereum nodes have been where my time in this space
has been invested.

This is my first real exploration of how it works,
and I wondered if anyone had tried to do anything
using LiveCode.
I didn’t have any application in mind yet, I was just
wondering how difficult it might be to work with the
concepts in an LC environment.
This was more of a question of what’s out there
already that I should know about, not about what
do I need, as that has yet to be defined.
If you know of some good resources/examples
please let me know.
Thanks for getting back to me!

Hard to say what became of that particular group from so long ago, and given
how blockchain use cases have expanded in the years since it can be challenging
just identifying what types of blockchain integrations would be most useful
with a GUI toolkit like LC.
I've started dipping my toe in the waters of Solidity as one way to explore
this space. But it's such a vast space...
What are you working on, and what do you need?
