# 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](https://storage.googleapis.com/ellcrys-docs/Ellcrys-Whitepaper-Technical.pdf). The project is actively being developed and not ready for production use. To learn more about the Ellcry project, visit our [website](https://ellcrys.co) and [blog](https://medium.com/ellcrys).
## Tasks
- [x] **Cryptocurrency**:
On complemetion of this task, the client will be able to join the network, mine blocks, transfer the
native coin, achieve consensus using Bitcoin's Nakamoto consensus and provide a Javascript environment for constructing
custom behaviours and interacting with the client.
- [x] Account-based Architecture
- [x] Nakamoto Consensus
- [x] RPC Client/Server
- [x] 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](https://storage.googleapis.com/ellcrys-docs/PeopleMint.pdf)) 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.
