Elld - Official Ellcrys Client

Elld is the official client implemention of the Ellcrys protocol specification. It will allow users run and maintain a full network node that is capable of performing all the operations described in the whitepaper. The project is actively being developed and not ready for production use. To learn more about the Ellcry project, visit our website and blog.

Tasks

  • Account-based Architecture
  • Nakamoto Consensus
  • RPC Client/Server
  • Javacript Console

• Hybrid PoW/PoS Consensus & Mining Protocol: Introduces a new consensus mechanism that will pave the way for faster network through-put and security. Additionally, a new mining protocol (PeopleMint) will be implemented.

• Git Hosting: Brings the ability to decentralize a git repository on the Ellcrys network.

• Self-Executing Functions: Adds support for compiling and executing self-executing functions. Must support functions written in multiple established languages.
