Actor based, horizontally scalable Blockchain using Akka.net.
This Blockchain uses pBFT (practical byzantine fault tolerance) consensus Algorithm
Note this project is still under development
Designing big scalable distributed systems requires a model that is distributed by default.
The traditional object-oriented programming paradigm makes it harder to create such systems and raises huge and big problems, more detailed informations can be found here What Problems Does the Actor Model Solve?
- Entity core as the ORM (object relational mapper)
- Mysql database
- Akka.net
- Nsec (cryptography library)
- basic knwoeldge on Akka.net and akka.remote
- c#
- docker
- kubernetes, minikube must be installed to test locally
-
the PBFT folder represents the consensus engine
-
startupserver folder (acts as bootstrap node, used to easily connect validators)
-
BlockchainTypes folder: a library that groups all the used types in this project.
-
kubernetesconfigs is a folder that contains few shell scripts to automate the building process
- as we all know actors form a hierarchy and the following diagram is the actor hierarchy of the blockchain
-
processing PBFT certificates
-
counting votes
-
Receiving client transactions
