A node is a client-side application that is installed on the user equipment. The Node processes and stores transactions, executes and confirms smart contract rules requests processing from third-party systems and provides data when requested. Written on C++.
Credits Node is the main module that provide an opportunity to run a node and participate in CREDITS blockhain network. The node performs processing and storage of transactions, execution and confirmation of the terms of smart contracts, processing requests from third-party systems, and provides data upon request. Each node on the network has the same functionality. The node consists of the following elements:
- API
- Desision-making module(Solver)
- Storage(CSDB)
- Transport protocol
- Boost 1.68 or newest static prebuild
- Compiler with C++17 support
- Cmake 3.11 or newest
- Requirements fo building Apache Thrift
- libsodium
- The building Berkeley DB distribution uses the Free Software Foundation's autoconf and libtool tools to build on UNIX platforms.
On Windows
It is necessary to run in the terminal, which sets the environment variables for building a Visual Studio project
