What's included?
|
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The current prototype consists of a small amount of code that defines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Key data structures
|
|
|
|
|
* Algorithms that work with them, such as serialising, hashing, signing, and verification of the signatures.
|

|
|
|
* Three smart contracts that implement a notion of a cash claim, a basic commercial paper and a crowdfunding contract.
|
|
|
|
|
These are simplified versions of the real things.
|

|
|
|
* Unit tests that check the algorithms do what is expected, and which verify the behaviour of the smart contracts.
|
|
|
|
|
* API documentation and tutorials (what you're reading)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some things it does not currently include but should gain later are:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* Sandboxing, distribution or publication of smart contract code
|
2015-11-25 13:27:07 +00:00
|
|
|
* A peer to peer network
|
|
|
|
|
* Database persistence
|
|
|
|
|
* An API for integrating external software
|
|
|
|
|
* A user interface for administration
|
|
|
|
|
* Many other things

The prototype's goal is rapid exploration of ideas. Therefore in places it takes shortcuts that a production system
|
|
|
|
|
would not in order to boost productivity:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* It uses a serialization framework instead of a well specified, vendor neutral protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
* It uses secp256r1, an obsolete elliptic curve.
