Overview of Swaptoshi Core
The Swaptoshi Core blockchain client is an implementation of the Swaptoshi protocol that verifies data (blocks and transactions) against the protocol rules and keeps the network secure.
To provide a high level overview, the main functionalities are listed below:
- The possibility to connect to a subset of peers in the Swaptoshi's P2P network.
- To synchronize with the Swaptoshi blockchain including requesting, forwarding and processing of the blocks, which also contain the transactions.
- To maintain the transaction pool, which might contain a subset of unconfirmed transactions.
- To request and forward the unconfirmed transactions.
- To possibly generate new blocks when running a validator node.
Furthermore, Swaptoshi Core nodes are able to store all current addresses, balances, and transactions.
Networks
After installation, Swaptoshi Core can be connected to the different Swaptoshi blockchain networks.
