Welcome to the EOSIO-Taurus source code repository! This software enables businesses to rapidly build and deploy high-performance and high-security blockchain-based applications. EOSIO-Taurus is a fork of the EOSIO codebase and builds on top of it.
Some of the groundbreaking features of EOSIO-Taurus include:
- Free Rate Limited Transactions
- Low Latency Block confirmation (0.5 seconds)
- Low-overhead Byzantine Fault Tolerant Finality
- Designed for optional high-overhead, low-latency BFT finality
- Smart contract platform powered by WebAssembly
- Designed for Sparse Header Light Client Validation
- Hierarchical Role Based Permissions
- Support for Biometric Hardware Secured Keys (e.g. Apple Secure Enclave)
- Designed for Parallel Execution of Context Free Validation Logic
- Designed for Inter Blockchain Communication
- Support for producer high availability *
- Support for preserving the input order of transactions for special use cases *
- Support for streaming from smart contract to external systems *
- High performance multithreaded queries of the blockchain state *
- Ability to debug and single step through smart contract execution *
- Protocol Buffers support for contract action and blockchain data *
- TPM support for signatures providing higher security *
- Standard ECDSA keys support in contracts for enterprise application integration *#
- RSA signature support in contracts for enterprise application integration *
- Ability to use snapshots for state persistence for stability and reliability *
- Support for long running time transactions for large scale contracts *
- Asynchronous block signing for improving block production performance *
(* features added or extensively improved in EOSIO-Taurus for enterprise applications)
(# the ECDSA public key follows the Standards for Efficient Cryptography 1)
This release refers only to version 1.0 of our open source software. We caution those who wish to use blockchains built on EOSIO-Taurus to carefully vet the companies and organizations launching blockchains based on EOSIO-Taurus before disclosing any private keys to their derivative software.
The project is a cmake project and it can be built following the building procedure.
Instructions detailing the process of getting the software, building it, running a simple test network that produces blocks, account creation and uploading a sample contract to the blockchain can be found in the docs.
