This library provides the core API that can be used to write smart contracts for the Concordium blockchain in the Rust programming language. It aims to provide safe wrappers around the core primitives exposed by the chain and accessible to smart contracts.
The functionality in this library is re-exported via the concordium-std and the concordium-rust-sdk crate.
The concordium-std crate is intended as the entry-point for development of smart contracts in Rust. It adds a number of helper macros and traits on top of the basic functionality available here.
The concordium-rust-sdk crate is for off-chain development and interaction with smart contracts.
std (enabled by default): Enables functionality that depends on the standard library.derive-serde: Enable serialization and deserialization via serde. Enables std as well.fuzz: Enable fuzzing via arbitrary. Enables derive-serde as well.The minimum supported rust version is 1.60.
This repository's CI automatically checks formatting and common problems in rust. Changes to any of the packages must be such that
cargo clippy --all produces no warningsrustfmt makes no changes.Everything in this repository should build with rust version 1.60 however the fmt tool must be from a nightly release since some of the configuration options are not stable. One way to run the fmt tool is
cargo +nightly-2023-04-01 fmt
(the exact version used by the CI can be found in .github/workflows/linter.yml file). You will need to have a recent enough nightly version installed, which can be done via
rustup toolchain install nightly-2023-04-01
or similar, using the rustup tool. See the documentation of the tool for more details.
In order to contribute you should make a pull request and ask at least two people familiar with the code to do a review.
