# NBlockchain

NBlockchain is a .NET standard library for building blockchain applications.

**This project is currently in alpha status and any contributions are welcome.**

The idea is that the developer would only need to focus on the data and rules for a blockchain and not worry about having to build all the infrastructure to facilitate a blockchain.

The developer would need to
* Define the schema of data / transactions they would like to store on the blockchain
* Define the rules for a valid transaction
* Select or create an appropriate local database
* Select or create an appropriate network implementation
* Select or create one or more peer discovery implementations

Beyond this, it is meant to be highly customizable, you can switch out the default services for
* Address encoding
* Signing
* Hashing algorithm
* Block verification
* Block consensus method (eg. proof of work, etc...)

## Installation

Using Nuget package console
```
PM> Install-Package NBlockchain -Version 0.5.0-alpha
```
Using .NET CLI
```
dotnet add package NBlockchain --version 0.5.0-alpha
```

## Samples
* [Digital Currency](Samples/DigitalCurrency)

## Local database stores
* LiteDB (Default built-in)
* [MongoDB](Providers/NBlockchain.MongoDB)

## Networking implementations
* In memory (mostly for testing & demo purposes)
* Tcp sockets

## Peer discovery implementations
* Static (from a config file, etc...)
* Multicast (for finding peers on the local network)
* More to come....

## Key features
* Automatic chain fork detection and resolution
* Open, flexible transaction schema
* Customizable transaction level rules
* Customizable block level rules
* Peer discovery
* Proof of work management

## Documentation
https://github.com/danielgerlag/NBlockchain/tree/master/doc

## Outstanding items for v1
* NAT traversal
* More peer discovery options
* Integration tests
