This documentation is designed to help you build with the Electroneum Smart Chain. It covers the tech stack and documents advanced topics for more complex applications and use cases.
Most of this documentation was inspired by the as similar concepts apply to the Electroneum Smart Chain.
If this is your first attempt at Electroneum Smart Chain development, we recommend starting at the beginning and working your way through like a book.
– A quick overview of the Electroneum Smart Chain
– A quick overview of ETN
– An introduction to decentralized applications
– The fundamental differences that blockchain-based applications provide
– Entities in the network that can hold a balance and send transactions
– Transfers and other actions that cause Electroneum's state to change
– The way transactions are batched to ensure state is synchronised across all actors
– The EVM handles all the computation on the Electroneum network
– Computational power required to process transactions, paid for in ETN by transaction senders
– The individuals participating in the network and the software they run to verify transactions
– Implementations of the Electroneum Smart Chain including test networks
– How the individual nodes of a distributed network agree on the current state of the system
Electroneum client APIs – Convenience libraries that allow your web app to interact with Electroneum and smart contracts
Backend APIs
Data and analytics – How blockchain data is aggregated, organised and implemented into dapps
Block explorers
Maximal extractable value (MEV) – How value is extracted from the Electroneum blockchain beyond the block reward
Data availability – docs-nav-data-availability-description
– An overview of the Electroneum/web3 stack
– Programs that reside at an Electroneum address and run functions when triggered by transactions
– Local blockchain environments used to test dapps before deployment
– Tools that make developing with Electroneum easier
– Decentralized storage structures and mechanism
– The best environments to write dapp code
– An overview of bridging for developers
– Agreed upon protocols for maintaining efficiency and accessibility of projects to the community
– How information is injected into the Electroneum blockchain
– Explanation of Electroneum's networking layer
– Explanation of the data structures and encoding schema used across the Electroneum Smart Chain stack
