An idea for a new smart contract platform (need feedback)

This is a project that I've started and I've been working on for a while. At first, it was just a short improvement proposal for an existing blockchain, but for some reasons, I decided to pursue it as an independent project. Over time, I extended it and added new ideas to it. I've put a lot of effort into it... The token is not in the market. I'm not trying to sell anything. I'd just need your feedback and contribution if you were interested.

Argennon (/ɑrˈɡen.non/) is a new innovative blockchain and smart contract platform which tries to solve many shortcomings of existing platforms. An initial draft of the Argennon white paper can be accessed here.

Some notable properties of the Argennon platform:

By design, the Argennon blockchain is decoupled from cryptography. This makes Argennon a completely quantum safe cryptocurrency. If at any time, the cryptographic algorithms used become insecure, they could be easily upgraded.
The Argennon Virtual Machine protects smart contracts from reentrancy by low level locks, while by using multiple call stacks, callback patterns could still be implemented to some extent.
An Argennon smart contract can safely call external smart contracts. There is no way that a smart contract can affect its caller. Even the execution resources are separated and the called smart contract can not abort the execution of its caller by using too much gas.
Most of the arithmetic in the Argennon Virtual Machine is done using floating point operations instead of unsigned integer operations. This way, there will be almost no need for a word size bigger than 64 bits. At the same time, operations will have a bounded fractional error in contrast to integer operations that have an infinite fractional error.
The Argennon Virtual Machine has a built-in standard library. This standard library provides a secure and convenient way for implementing many frequently used functionalities. In addition, this library is updatable through the Argennon governance system. This means that bugs or security vulnerabilities in the AVM standard library could be quickly patched and smart contracts that use this library, including non-updatable smart contracts, can benefit from improvements and bug fixes as well.
Argennon standards are defined based on how a contract should use the AVM standard library and not only how its interface should look. As a result, users can expect certain type of behaviour from a contract which complies with an Argennon standard.
Interaction with Argennon smart contract is done through conventional HTTP. This enables Argennon smart contracts to have HTTP based RESTful APIs, documented by standardized descriptions like OpenAPI. This way, any client, including clients being used for conventional centralized web services, will be able to use Argennon smart contracts, regardless of how the API is implemented internally.
ARG, the main currency of the Argennon blockchain, is controlled by a smart contract. This eliminates the need for ARG wrappers and also makes the transfer logic of ARG more transparent and trustable.
Memory architecture of the AVM completely hides the complexities of the Argennon blockchain. This enables AVM compatible programming languages to have a flavour completely similar to conventional programming languages. For instance, the Argon language, which is the primary AVM OOP language, supports composition, which is a very important OO design pattern.
The Argennon Virtual Machine is a cloud based virtual machine and uses trust-less zero knowledge database servers as its persistence layer. At the same time, by using a smart clustering algorithm the AVM is able to keep the network usage manageable.
Argennon uses a hybrid POS consensus protocol. A democratically elected committee of trusted delegates is responsible for minting new blocks and each block is validated by a large committee of normal validators. Every Argennon user is a member of at least one committee of validators. Thanks to the cloud based design of the AVM, transaction validation does not require a large storage space for storing the state of the Argennon blockchain. This way, being a validator does not require huge computational resources and everyone with an Argennon wallet can participate in the Argennon consensus protocol. This makes Argennon a truly democratic and decentralized blockchain.
Argennon does not need shards because the validation of multiple blocks is done in parallel by different committees. Moreover, by using a dependency detection algorithm, Argennon is also able to parallelize transaction validation of a single block.
The hybrid Argennon consensus protocol makes Argennon one of the most secure blockchains. Only one honest delegate can stop any attack against the integrity of the Argennon blockchain, and if all the delegates are malicious, as long as more than half of the Argennon total stake is controlled by honest users, the Argennon blockchain will be completely safe.
The Argennon network relies on a permission-less network of ZK-EDB servers. A ZK-EDB server is a conventional data server which uses its computational and storage resources to help the Argennon network process transactions. A large portion of incentive rewards in the Argennon blockchain is devoted to ZK-EDB servers. This will incentivize the development of conventional networking, storage and computational hardware, which can benefit all areas of information technology. This contrasts with the approach of other blockchains that incentivize development of a totally useless technology of hash calculation.
