Blockchain in Scala

A simplified Blockchain implementation in Scala based on the specifications of Bitcoin.

This project is still under development. APIs are not fully completed according to the cores.

Inspired by:

• Daniel van Flymen's blog Learn Blockchains by Building One
• Naivecoin of @lhartikk

This project is meant to learn and understand Bitcoin and Blockchain. I personally also in the process of learning. So, what's a better the approach of learning it by building one ! Because of this is a continuous learning process, there might be something I do not understand earlier. Now when I understand it, the code will also be changed according. I am happy to discuss with you, which will make this learning process quicker and efficient.

Start the service, run this Class:

com.fluency03.blockchain.api.Server

REST APIs

REST API service is built on the open source projects akka and akka-http.

Please see the full API Documentation on Postman: blockchain-in-scala
