Witnet-rust

Discord Build Status GitHub contributors Github last commit GPLv3 Licensed

witnet-rust is an open source implementation of the Witnet Decentralized Oracle Network protocol written in Rust.

Components

witnet-rust implements many different components intended to work in the Witnet ecosystem:
  • [node]: a fully validating and archival Witnet blockchain node.
  • [wallet]: a separate server for managing Witnet keys and abstracting the complexity of creating transactions.
  • [crypto]: library implementing all the crypto-related operations used by Witnet, including signatures, hash functions and verifiable random functions.
  • [rad]: an interpreter for [RADON] scripts included in Witnet data requests.
  • [storage]: the convenient local storage solution used by node and wallet.
  • [p2p]: modules for managing peer sessions and connections.
  • [data_structures]: data structures common to all other components.
  • [validations]: functions that validate Witnet protocol data structures.
  • [schemas]: Protocol Buffer schemas for the Witnet protocol.
Members of the Witnet project also develop and maintain these other related Rust crates:
  • [protobuf-convert]: macros for convenient serialization of Rust data structures into/from Protocol Buffers.
  • [async-jsonrpc-client]: event-driven JSON-RPC client with support for multiple transports

Current status

DISCLAIMER: This is experimental software running on experimental network protocols. Be careful!

  • All the main components are in place—but they need yet to be battle tested before mainnet.
  • Testnet-1 is live. [Here's the roadmap][roadmap] and this is [how to run a node].
  • The Witnet community is doing its best to make witnet-rust rock solid as soon as possible.
  • Contributions are more than welcome.
