Pulsar Network

Pulsar Network is a distributed hash table peer-to-peer messaging protocol for the Astreuos Blockchain written in Rust.

Features

• Send and Receive Messages between Peers.
• A Message contains the Body, Message Kind, a Nonce and the Sender Peer.
• Message encryption using ChaCha20Poly1305 and a Blake3 hash, of the shared point on Curve 25519, as the key.
• Peers can be pinged and respond with their public key & routes supported.
• Currently supported route is Astreuos Blockchain Validation.

``` use pulsar_network::Network;

let network = Network::config();

network.validation = true; // join the validation route

Message

use pulsar_network::{Message, MessageKind};

let message_body: &str = "Hello";

let mut message = Message::new(MessageKind::Block, message_body);

```
