Welcome to the blockchain prototype application!
This project aims to create a blockchain with miners and wallets.
This application was taken from the LuizTools Web23 training, it was developed for study and uses cryptography resources, an architecture similar to the Bitcoin blockchain.
The class structure with typescript, node.js and tests using Jest were used.
This application includes the following features:
- Server using API endpoints to process requests from miners and wallets
- Miners who validate blocks and receive rewards for doing so
- Wallets for checking balance and making/search transactions
