witnet-rust is an open source implementation of the Witnet Decentralized Oracle Network protocol written in Rust.

Components

witnet-rust implements many different components intended to work in the Witnet ecosystem:

• node: a fully validating and archival Witnet blockchain node.
• wallet: a separate server for managing Witnet keys and abstracting the complexity of creating transactions.
• crypto: library implementing all the crypto-related operations used by Witnet, including signatures, hash functions and verifiable random functions.
• rad: an interpreter for RADON scripts included in Witnet data requests.
• storage: the convenient local storage solution used by node and wallet.
• p2p: modules for managing peer sessions and connections.
• data_structures: data structures common to all other components.
• validations: functions that validate Witnet protocol data structures.
• schemas: Protocol Buffer schemas for the Witnet protocol.

Members of the Witnet project also develop and maintain these other related Rust crates:

• protobuf-convert: macros for convenient serialization of Rust data structures into/from Protocol Buffers.
• async-jsonrpc-client: event-driven JSON-RPC client with support for multiple transports

Current status

DISCLAIMER: This is experimental software running on experimental network protocols. Be careful!

• All the main components are in place—but they need yet to be battle tested before mainnet.
• Testnet-1 is live. Here's the roadmap and this is how to run a node.
• The Witnet community is doing its best to make witnet-rust rock solid as soon as possible.
• Contributions are more than welcome.
