tags: Move,Starcoin Web3 StarTrek Bedrock – Object-capability model In my words, Move is kind of a Resource-Oriented Programming language. The resource is represented by struct in Move, aka object in other programming language. By the way, the resource in Move is the struct which cannot be copied and cannot be dropped1. Distinct from other programming language, objects are stored in memory, resource in Move can store to the chain’s global storage. ...

tags: Starcoin Web3 StarTrek,Move When I start learning Move and looking at the stdlib starcoin-framework and starcoin-framework-commons. Then I realized there are must some magic during the block execution in runtime. To roll the world, the runtime should provide some built in types and call some function in the stdlib. How does StarcoinVM Validate Transactions? As a miner, it’s responsible for executing block, it follows: Received some transactions from P2P network: EventHandler of PeerTransactionsMessage. ...

tags: Starcoin Web3 StarTrek,Account-Model Blockchain Systems We can create an account by wallet like MetaMask or StarMask, but I’m curious about how an account is created on the blockchain system. As a wallet has been embedded in the starcoin node, we can use it to create an account as follow: $ ./target/debug/starcoin -d ~/.starcoin -n dev account create -p my-pass { "ok": { "address": "0x2f1aeb63bd30d8eb841d6a941c5d6df3", "is_default": false, "is_readonly": false, "public_key": "0x91f79bdd9ced49332bf85b751d02339e05aff047c386d0c14b380d8519d2fb4b", "receipt_identifier": "stc1p9udwkcaaxrvwhpqad22pchtd7vy2276p" } } As above we can see our account has been created, and the address is: 0x2f1aeb63bd30d8eb841d6a941c5d6df3. We’ll find some files are created, if we check our local directory at ~/.starcoin/dev: ...

tags: Starcoin Web3 StarTrek,starcoin issue solving Today I saw this issue: starcoin#3450 at GitHub, I decide to give it a try. The corresponding type VMStatus is defined out of starcoin’s reposiotry, here. The work need to be done seems are: convert function from u16 to a readable string. convert status_code from StatusCode to a readable string. Let’s take a look at StatusCode first, StatusCode is a enum that contains lot of variants, WOW! My intuition is that can we just get the name of the variant by it’s value. Or I’ll write an ugly match that contains tons of arms. Maybe there already existed some similar code, Let me do a search. ...

It means the leaf node in the tree can be found by an address. The address encoded the path to the leaf node, for example, a leaf node in a binary tree, which has 3 level. Its address may be encoded to 010, the corresponding path is: left->right->left: 0 1 0 + + + v v v left right left root / \ H1 H2 /\ /\ D1 D2 D3 D4 As we can see, the address 010 leads us to the leaf node D2. ...

In the blockchain system, those transactions are stored in the blocks. In each block, the data stored in may look like: TXN FROM TO VALUE #0 God Cale 100 #1 Cale Alice 10 #2 Alice Bob 1 #3 Bob Mike 0.5 Then what’s a blockchain? Just simply chain the blocks together, usually add a field to point to its parent: ...

The target is influenced by difficulty. As the difficulty gets bigger and the target will be smaller, which means more difficult to find. pub fn difficult_to_target(difficulty: U256) -> U256 { U256::max_value() / difficulty }

tags: Starcoin Web3 StarTrek,Blockchain source: Wikipedia: Merkle tree Starcoin Cookbook What is a Merkle tree. Merkle tree is a hash tree, named after Ralph Merkle, who patented in 1979. Most implementations of them are binary, which means two child nodes under each node. Why the merkle tree is important to the peer-to-peer network? The main purpose of a merkle tree is to ensure the data we received from a peer-to-peer network are undamaged and unaltered, it’s important as the data were splitted into many blocks and stored in multiple nodes in the network. ...
