# Indy Besu ledger
## Goals and ideas
* Provide a replacement for [Hyperledger Indy](https://www.hyperledger.org/projects/hyperledger-indy) ecosystem that
provides support for verifiable credentials:
* Components to replace:
* Distributed ledger: [Indy Node](https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node)
and [Indy Plenum](https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-plenum)
* Client library: [Indy SDK](https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk/tree/main)
* Capability to migrate the data from the original Indy Ledger
* Distributed ledger requirements:
* Public Permissioned Blockchain
* Control the validator nodes
* Control the user permissions
* EVM compatible Blockchain
* Capability to deploy on different networks
* Based on existing open-source blockchain framework with a good performance, sufficient adoption, and wide
community
* Capability to work without tokens and fees
* Stable consensus protocol
* Functional requirements:
* Interoperability:
* Capability to use existing DID's and identifiers:
* Support [indy](https://hyperledger.github.io/indy-did-method/) DID method
* Support [sov](https://sovrin-foundation.github.io/sovrin/spec/did-method-spec-template.html) DID method
* Identifiers previously stored on the client side should be resolvable on the new Ledger
* Capability to use the ledger as
an [AnonCreds Registry](https://hyperledger.github.io/anoncreds-methods-registry/)
* Compatibility with the latest [AnonCreds Specification](https://hyperledger.github.io/anoncreds-spec/)
* Extensibility:
* Capability to integrate new pieces of functionality easily
* Capability to
use [ETHR](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/ethr-did-resolver/blob/master/doc/did-method-spec.md) DID
method
* Integration with the [AnonCreds Registry](https://hyperledger.github.io/anoncreds-methods-registry/)
* Integration with `Permissioned` modules
* Do only basic state consistency validation
## Design documentation
See [design document](./docs/README.md) covering the main ledger aspects.
## Running local network
### Prerequisites
- [Docker and Docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) v2 or higher
> ⚠️ **Note**: If on MacOS or Windows, please ensure that you allow docker to use upto 4G of memory under the
_Resources_ section. The [Docker for Mac](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/)
> and [Docker Desktop](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/) sites have details on how to do this at the "
> Resources" heading
### Commands
* **Start the network: - run all services inside the docker containers**
```bash
./network/scripts/run.sh
```
* **Start the network with Blocksout explorer: - run all services inside the docker containers**
```bash
./network/scripts/run.sh --blockscout
```
or
```bash
./network/scripts/run.sh -b
```
* **Stop the network: run the entire network, and you can resume where it left off with `./resume.sh`**
```bash
./network/scripts/stop.sh
```
* **Remove the network: stop and then remove all containers and images**
```bash
./network/scripts/remove.sh
```
## Managing smart contracts
See [README.md](/smart_contracts/README.md).
## Client library
[Rust library](./vdr/README.md) representing a convenient client for connecting to an Indy-Besu node, building and
executing transactions and queries.
## Contributing
Pull requests are welcome! Please read our [contributions guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md)
and submit your PRs. We enforce [developer certificate of origin](https://developercertificate.org/) (DCO) commit
signing. See guidance [here](https://github.com/apps/dco).
We also welcome issues submitted about problems you encounter in using
`Indy-Besu`, `VDR` or any of the VDR wrappers.
