Scorex Examples

There are two examples of blockchain systems built on top of Scorex at the moment. The first one is the simplest proof-of-stake cryptocurrency with account-based transactional model and everything stored in memory, and could be found under the src/main/scala/examples/curvepos folder. The second one is TwinsChain we are going to explain in details.

TwinsChain

TwinsChain is a hybrid Proof-of-Work(PoW) and Proof-of-Stake(PoS) cryptocurrency with 1:1 correspondence between PoW and PoS blocks. The main goal is to protect the hybrid chain against majority of hashing power being adversarial.

Main points of the implementation:

  • TwinsChain consensus protocol as described in the paper [TODO: link]

  • Bitcoin-like transactional model with a transaction having multiple inputs and outputs. There are no Bitcoin-like scripts though.

  • Persistence done by using IODB versioned key-value database

To run, you need to install Java8 and SBT (Scala Build Tool) first.

run sbt

then type following in the sbt console:

    project examples
    run-main examples.hybrid.HybridApp

Use run-main examples.hybrid.HybridApp settings2.json... run-main examples.hybrid.HybridApp settings10.json to create more local nodes on your machine, or run-main examples.hybrid.HybridApp testnet-twins.json to connect to a public testnet.

Command-Line Client

Run ./cli.sh after launching server to issue API requests to it via command-line client. See API section below. Some examples of CLI commands:

  • GET blocks/first
  • POST payment {"amount":400, "fee":1, "sender":"2kx3DyWJpYYfLErWpRMLHwkL1ZGyKHAPNKr", "recipient":"Y2BXLjiAhPUMSo8iBbDEhv81VwKnytTXsH"}
