This is a basic blockchain implementation project! It was created as a learning exercise to delve into the concepts and technologies behind blockchain. Below are the key features and functionalities of this project.
- Blockchain Creation: Implemented a basic blockchain structure.
- Proof of Work (Mining) System: A simple proof of work mechanism is integrated into the blockchain to ensure the security and immutability of transactions.
- Wallet Creation: Users can create wallets within the system.
- Elliptic-Curve Cryptography: Public and private keys for wallets are generated using Elliptic-Curve cryptography, ensuring secure transactions.
- Secure Fund Transfer: Utilizes digital signature algorithm to prove ownership and secure the transfer of funds between wallets.
- Transaction Management: Users can make transactions within the blockchain network.
- I still need to work on the networking part of the project
To get started with this project, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository to your local machine.
- Compile and run the Java files in your preferred IDE or command line.
- Explore the functionalities and experiment with transactions and mining.
- Bouncy Castle
- Gson
- Run the main Java file to initialize the blockchain and interact with the system.
- Follow the comments and examples to create wallets, make transactions, and mine blocks.
