Goals:

To release the RChain storage implementation as a separate library for use by Scala developers.

Done When:

  • Users can fetch the library as a JAR from Maven Central or build it from source. 
  • Users can read Markdown documentation about how to use the library.  This documentation will be published in the main {{rchain}} Github repository.
  • Users can read Scaladoc API documentation for the library.  (TBD: where do we publish?  GitHub Pages)
  • Users are able to store data into the library and retrieve the data by using the methods outlined in the documentation.


In more detail:

Out of Scope:

  • Storage functionality relating to history / blockdag / blockchain.
  • Operation in a distributed setting.
  • Support for system processes.
