Commonware

Commonware provides a library of primitives and tools for building custom, high-performance blockchain and peer-to-peer applications. It is positioned as an 'anti-framework,' offering modular components for functions like consensus, cryptography, and p2p networking, enabling developers to create specialized onchain systems.

Description

Commonware provides a library of modular components, or 'primitives,' for building specialized and high-performance blockchain and peer-to-peer systems. It offers tools for a wide range of functionalities including data dissemination (broadcast), data serialization (codec), Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus, cryptography, infrastructure deployment, peer-to-peer communication, data resolution, and storage. Positioned as an 'anti-framework,' Commonware contrasts with one-size-fits-all blockchain stacks by allowing developers to select and combine components to fit the specific needs of their application. Examples built with the library include 'alto,' a minimal and fast blockchain, and demonstrations of cross-network bridges and encrypted chat applications.
