This is developed over Score https://github.com/input-output-hk/Scorex.
Bitcoin Core source code contains more 100K lines of code(80K of C++ only). All parts of the design(network/transactional/consensus protocols) are mixed in a hard way. So researchers and developers are not in good start positions to make experiments.
In Scorex Bitcoin, we've implemented the Bitcoin protocol in less than 5k lines of Scala code and this allows researchers to prototype over the bitcoin protocol.
- Compact, functional code
- Modular design with fine granularity
- Scala language
- Asynchronous network layer on top of TCP
- JSON API
- Command line client for the JSON API
- Cryptographic primitives externalized into separate scrypto framework
- Few examples out-of-box
Coming soon.
