A taxonomy for open source cryptocurrency, blockchain, and decentralized ecosystems

Crypto Ecosystems

🌲 Crypto Ecosystems is a taxonomy for sharing data around open source cryptocurrency, blockchain, and decentralized ecosystems and tying them to GitHub organizations and code repositories. All of the ecosystems are specified in TOML configuration files.

This repository is not complete, and hopefully it never is as there are new ecosystems and repositories created everyday.

Data Format

An example configuration file for the Bitcoin ecosystem looks like this:

# Ecosystem Level Information
title = "Bitcoin"

# Sub Ecosystems
# These are the titles of other ecosystems in different .toml files in the /data/ecosystems directory
sub_ecosystems = [ "Lightning", "RSK Smart Bitcoin", "ZeroNet"]

# GitHub Organizations
# This is a list of links to associated GitHub organizations.
github_organizations = ["https://github.com/bitcoin", "https://github.com/bitcoin-core", "https://github.com/bitcoinj", "https://github.com
/btcsuite", "https://github.com/libbitcoin", "https://github.com/rust-bitcoin"]

# Repositories
# These are structs including a url and tags for a git repository.  These URLS do not have to be on GitHub.
[[repo]]
url = "https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin"
tags = [ "Protocol"]

[[repo]]
url = "https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook"
tags = [ "Documentation"]

[[repo]]
url = "https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet"
tags = [ "Wallet"]

By specifying the data as evolving config files in git, we benefit from a long term, auditable database that is both human and machine readable.

How to Contribute

✍️ You can make any .toml file for an ecosystem in the /data/ecosystems directory or edit an existing one to help improve data around an ecosystem. Pull Requests are encouraged.
