Module tools 

Shared primitives

The foundation layer the rest of the crate builds on: core identity and hash newtypes, wire-format time and duration, the Blake3/Ed25519/ChaCha20 crypto stack, the multi-algorithm proof-of-work chain and its parallel search engine, hierarchical time buckets, compression, serde helpers, and the runtime_services::RuntimeServices bundle that lets the same protocol code run on native, WASM, and deterministic test environments.

Re-exports

pub use bytes_gatherer::BytesGatherer;

Modules

anyhow_asserts

This module provides a series of asserts that interact nicely with raising anyhow errors inside try blocks.

buckets

Hierarchical time buckets for post storage and discovery

bytes_gatherer

Scatter-gather buffer for zero-copy response assembly

cert_validation

Offline X.509 chain validation for AnnounceV2 proofs

client_id

Stable client (user-account) identity on the network

compression

Versioned compression helpers

config

Protocol-wide constants

decaying_counter

Exponentially-decaying event counter

encryption

Password-based authenticated encryption with multi-recipient key wrapping

hashing

Blake3 hashing helpers

hyper_log_log

Compact probabilistic cardinality estimation

json

Thin JSON (de)serialisation helpers

keys

Ed25519 keypair bundle with post-quantum commitment

keys_post_quantum

Post-Quantum Cryptography resilience

plain_text_post

Plain-text → hashiverse HTML conversion

pow

This crate provides a PoW mechanism that should be hugely expensive to reproduce on dedicated hardware. Given that Hashiverse is predominantly built upon proof of work, we want to put in some effort to make it difficult to cheat as a spammer or sybil using GPU or ASIC advantages. To this effect we cobble together a chain of different hashing algorithms with different repetition counts - all of which are pseudorandomly chosen based on the initial salt and each subsequent hashing round.

pow_generator

Proof-of-work search engine

pow_required_estimator

Progress reporting and ETA estimation for long PoW searches

runtime_services

Shared environment bundle for all protocol participants

Server identity with proof-of-work birth certificate

signing
