CanaryKeys: A New Extendable Blockchain For Digital Certificates, Web of Trust, and Social Media

Notice: This is a work in progress and is not fully implemented yet. It is currently mostly an idea but some basic functionality has been implemented.

CanaryKeys is a blockchain project that is extendable and can support multiple chains for different purposes due to its use of the Block Lattice Data Structure.

Current Implemented Chains

The Transaction Chain

This is the primary chain and the one where all monetary transactions take place. It will also support tokens.

The Voting Chain

This chain is used to vote for delegates to act as your representative to produce blocks. This may be merged into the transaction chain.

The Certificate Chain (supports Web of Trust)

The Certificate Chain is used to sign other people's certificates and it naturally supports Web of Trust. It uses Schnorr Signatures.

The Social Chain

The Social Chain contains verified and unverified links to your social media accounts.

The Project Chain

The Project Chain contains any projects that will be built on top of CanaryKeys. It can also be used to raise funds.
