Aergo - Distributed Trust at Scale

Official Chain Software of Aergo Protocol

We are developing the most practical and powerful platform for blockchain businesses. There are four main ideologies guiding this project:

1. Developer-friendly
2. Guaranteed performance
3. Scalable architecture
4. Connect with the world

3rd: Aergo Mainnet (planned in March, 2019)

• BFT-dPOS with 13 BPs
• Aergo Scan
• Aergo Connect

2nd: Aergo Testnet (28, Dec, 2018)

• BFT-dPOS with Voting
  • The pre-test net has the function of agreeing blocks among the set BPs. TestNet has a function to select BP through voting.
• Named Account
  • For user's convenience, Named Account function that can be accessed based on Name rather than Address is provided.
• Expanded Aergo Lua
  • The Aergo Lua feature has been extended for more convenient development.
• Advanced Client Framework
  • Provides a wallet interface that interacts with keystore and manages nonce.
  • Provides the ability to make smart contracts through interface calls.
  • Provides a contract library to issue tokens based on Aergo.
• Hub Enterprise
  • Enterprise customers view management and monitoring of their networks as a prerequisite.
  • We provide Hub Enterprise control solution to solve this problem.
• Merkle Bridge Verification
  • StateTrie Merkle proof verifications and delegated token transfers are now implemented in the merkle-bridge.
• Various Smart Contract Examples
  • Provide some standard smart contracts
• TestNet
  • Launch the Test Network to provide network for community and experment
  • We provide https://aergoscan.io.

1st: Aergo Alpha (31, Oct, 2018)

• Consensus - BFT-dPOS (election not integrated)
  • We provide BFT by solving various problems that may occur in dpos.
• Aergo SQL smart contract (Lua-jit)
  • It is a powerful smart contract language providing DB function.
• Client - Ship
  • Client framework and development environment
  • Provides a package management and testing environment similar to NPM.
• Client SDK

beginning: Skeleton (31, July, 2018)

• Platform framework
• Stub consensus(dpos without voting)
• Account model
• Mempool
• Networking - p2p/protocol
• Cmd aergocli/aergosvr
