Substrate Stock Exchange Platform

A stock exchange platform made with substrate for undergrad thesis.

Limitations of the current build

• It only supports sell/buy limit order. Market order is technically possible if there are enough traders and transactions in the market, but for now I only track the market value.

Public Functions

• Put sell/buy order
• Give issue rights (substitute for IPO) (sudo)
• Revoke issue rights (sudo)
• Change authorized shares (sudo)
• Issue shares
• Retire shares
• Freeze/unfreeze market (sudo) (sudo means the caller must have sudo keys)

How to run/hack the node

First, use the following command to install Rust and the WASM toolchain

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly

Next, use the following command to build the node

./exchange_platform/scripts/build.sh && cargo build --release

You can run the developer node with the following command

./exchange_platform/target/release/exchange_platform --dev

Happy hacking!
