the source of the chain itself and more information regarding it can be found here in blockchain/.
- custom hashing function: designed to attempt to provide similar performance between cpu and gpu mining.
- native chain currency: bolt has its native currency for rewarding miners.
- bitcoin in sprit: the blockchain is designed to inherit bitcoin's best characteristics, including.
- automatic difficulty adjustments and target block times.
- fixed supply cap and decreasing issuance of block rewards.
assets/: contains static assets and brandables.blockchain/: contains the blockchain component written in coffeescript.bolthash/rust/: contains the custom hashing function that is written in rust.- note: this is ported to other language libraries like webasm for browsers and node.js for non-web node applications. examples are provided for each.
bolt intends to launch with a fair distribution and without a premine and without fundraising.
the configured block time and issuance schedule is designed to follow roughly the schedule and behviour of bitcoin. at the very least the features of digital scarcity and proof of work will remain constant. however, i'll reserve the right the play with modern features such as a smart contract language, different hashing algos, and so on prior to launch.
