Numerous requests for a static-linking exception have been made but not answered. This has blocked the deployment of any legally sound, full Ethereum client on popular channels for distribution of mobile devices. LGPL also prevents the adoption of Ethereum on closed hardware platforms, such as XBox. Still, we remain optimistic this issue will be rectified.

As an initial goal, we will focus on implementing all components required for interoperability with the Ethereum ecosystem. However, before starting the implementation in Nim, the team will reference and understand the existing implementations of Ethereum: [Go Ethereum](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/), [Pyethereum](https://github.com/ethereum/pyethereum), [Py-EVM](https://github.com/ethereum/py-evm), and [Parity](https://github.com/paritytech/parity).

We will strive to publish as much of the developed code as possible. The code will consist of independently reusable libraries that have the same permissive license as that of Nimbus itself. This will include the libraries for the following: The code will consist of independently reusable libraries that have the same permissive license as that of Nimbus itself:
