Quarry: A modern computing environment for your World(lattice.xyz) We’re proud to announce that we put Doom onchain, with just 7 milliseconds of latency. And we’re releasing the tech behind the feat to an alpha-tester group (with a full release coming in early 2025), so you can build ultra-fast applications onchain too. Quarry, our new infrastructure that powers this tech, is a full suite of offerings from Lattice that enables MUD applications to run in real-time at scale.
