adex-protocol-substrate

The AdEx Protocol implemented on top of Substrate. Bootstrapped from substrate-node-template.

What is it?

OUTPACE

The AdExOUTPACE module implements Offchain Unidirectional Trustless Payment Channels described here: https://github.com/AdExNetwork/adex-protocol/blob/master/OUTPACE.md

The OUTPACE module consists of:

• channel_open: opens a channel, therefore locking up a deposit
• channel_withdraw_expired: after the channel is expired, the creator may invoke this to withdraw the remainder of their deposit
• channel_withdraw: at any time before expiry, anyone who earned from this channel may withdraw their earnings

Registry

The upcoming AdExRegistry module implements the AdEx registry.

It is a component where AdEx validators can stake tokens to get exposure. Furhermore, users may launch challenges against validators to prove their misbehavior. Most of the challenges involve replicating the off-chain behavior of the validator stack, employing a pattern referred to as counterfactuality.

Build and run

./build.sh
cargo run -- --dev

With some old Rust crates, you might need to do export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0/pkgconfig if you're running OpenSSL 1.1
