What's included?
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The Corda prototype currently includes:
|
|
|
|
* A peer to peer network with message persistence and delivery retries.
|
|
* Key data structures for defining contracts and states.
|
|
* Smart contracts, which you can find in the :doc:`contract-catalogue`.
|
|
* Algorithms that work with them, such as serialising, hashing, signing, and verification of the signatures.
|
|
* API documentation and tutorials (what you're reading).
|
|
* A business process orchestration framework.
|
|
* Notary infrastructure for precise timestamping, and elimination of double spending without a blockchain.
|
|
* A simple REST API, and a web app demo that uses it to present a frontend for IRS trading.
|
|
|
|
Some things it does not currently include but should gain later are:
|
|
|
|
* Sandboxing, distribution or publication of smart contract code
|
|
* A user interface for administration
|
|
|
|
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 an object graph serialization framework instead of a well specified, vendor neutral protocol.
|
|
* There's currently no permissioning framework.
|
|
* Some privacy techniques aren't implemented yet.
|
|
* It uses an embedded SQL database and doesn't yet have connectivity support for mainstream SQL vendors (Oracle,
|
|
Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server etc).
