Expresschain

Express chain is a simple blockchain implementation in the Cairo programming language. This blockchain includes basic functionalities such as creating blocks, mining blocks using proof-of-work, and adding blocks to the chain.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Cairo Compiler
• Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/my-blockchain.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd my-blockchain

3. Compile the Cairo contracts:

   # Replace <contract_filename> with the actual filename
   cairo-compile --output=<contract_filename>.out <contract_filename>.cairo

4. Deploy the compiled contract to the Ethereum blockchain.

Usage

Here's how you can interact with the blockchain:

1. Initialize the Blockchain

// Replace <initial_data> with your desired data
init(<initial_data>, <initial_difficulty>)
