Network Development Framework¶

Building a blockchain from scratch is an intricate process that demands deep knowledge of consensus algorithms, cryptography, data structures, governance, and more. Tanssi simplifies this process by leveraging Substrate, a powerful blockchain development framework that provides all the essential components for creating customized blockchains.

With Substrate’s modular architecture, you can modify runtime characteristics, integrate pre-built modules, or develop new ones based on your network’s specific needs. Tanssi provides the foundation you need to bring your blockchain vision to life.

Key features of the framework:

Substrate core architecture - divided into the core client, which manages external communications and internal responsibilities like storage, and the runtime, which executes transactions and manages state transitions with customizable logic
End-user simplicity - the internal workings of the framework are abstracted for end-users, ensuring seamless interaction through dApps or via RPC endpoints, such as those used by wallets
Modular system design - incorporate pre-built modules or create custom ones to meet specific needs
Developer-centric flexibility - focus on runtime characteristics and use case specifics, allowing you to create a blockchain tailored to your vision without unnecessary complexity

Overview

Substrate is a blockchain development framework built in Rust Programming Language that streamlines and speeds up the process of developing new networks.

Framework Architecture

In a Substrate node, two main components are the runtime, which controls the blockchain's state transition, and the client, which manages everything else.

Modularity

Substrate is a modular blockchain development framework with an extensive set of ready-to-use components to bundle with custom logic into the network Runtime.
