Pulsar Network

Pulsar Network is the distributed hash table peer-to-peer communication protocol for the Astreuos Blockchain.

Features

• send and receive messages between peers.
• a message contains the body, messagekind, nonce and time.
• message encryption uses chacha20poly1305 and a blake3 hash, of the shared point on curve25519, as the key.
• peers can be pinged and respond with their public key and route supported.
• currently supported routes are Astreuos Blockchain main and test validation routes.

API

Connect

``` use pulsar_network::{ Connection, Route };

let route: Route = Route::TestNova;

let seeders: Vec;

let bootstrap_mode: bool = false;

let network = Connection::configure(route, seeders, bootstrap);

for (message, peer) in network.listen() { println!("Got: {}", message.body); }

```

Message

```

use pulsar_network::{ Message, Kind };

let mut message = Message::new(Kind::Block, astrolistbytes);

```

Broadcast

```

network.broadcast(message);

```

Send

```

network.send(message, peer)

```

Improvements

• multi-threading
• ephemeral keys
• bluetooth communication
