Ziya Smart Chain

This project could be seen as a simplified version of Ethereum blockchain

Project's goal

• Create a PoW based, Ethereum like blockchain from scratch to deeply understand how they work

Features

• Interpreter for OpCodes
• Creating Blocks and Blockchain
• Proof of Work
• Mining and validating a Block
• Networking, allow peers to interact. Send new blocks, transactions...
• API to interact with the node via http calls
• Creating Accounts and Smart Contract accounts
• Creating and Validating Transactions
• Global State to store both Smart Contracts' and accounts' state
• Running code through making a transaction to a smart contract account
• Storing and getting data from a smart contract's storage
• Usage of gas and gasLimits

Used technologies

• Typescript is used for developing both the blockchain
• Node is used as runtime environment for typescript
• Express is used to create an API to interact with the blockchain
• PubNub is used to establish the network between different nodes
