Abstraction for Ethereum node implementation

This package is a collection of interfaces, data types, and functions to make status-go independent from the go-ethereum implementation.

status-go is a wrapper around an Ethereum node. This package was created to have a possibility of selecting the underlying Ethereum node implementation, namely go-ethereum or Nimbus. The underlying implementation is selected using Go build tags.

  • types and core/types -- provide interfaces of node services, common data types, and functions,
  • bridge -- provide implementation of interfaces declared in types using go-ethereum or Nimbus in geth and nimbus directories respectively,
  • crypto -- provide cryptographic utilities not depending on go-ethereum,
  • keystore -- provide a keystore implementation not depending on go-ethereum.

Note: crypto and keystore are not finished by either depending on go-ethereum or not providing Nimbus implementation.

How to use it?

If you have a piece of code that depends on go-ethereum, check out this package to see if there is a similar implementation that does not depend on go-ethereum. For example, you want to decode a hex-string into a slice of bytes. You can do that using go-ethereum's FromHex() function or use equivalent from this package and avoid importing go-ethereum. Thanks to this, your code fragment might be built with Nimbus.
