WARNING: Chronos is undergoing heavy development and has just recently exited from a PoC phase into something more substantial. Proceed with caution...
Chronos is a next generation scheduling protocol built on Ethereum smart contracts. It allows users to schedule calls to happen at a future time, for developers to employ this functionality in their own DApps and smart contracts, and for a second layer market of Timenodes to compete for the execution of these transactions and be rewarded with the bounty. It was inspired by our work on the Ethereum Alarm Clock and represents ChronoLogic's attempt to rebuild the protocol from the ground up with the goal of optimization in mind. It uses novel claiming mechanisms and will include both temporal and conditional transaction scheduling.
Here is an early diagram of the architecture:
What is the encoding format used for transactions?
- Install NPM, truffle and git if not present on the system
- Clone the repo using
git clone npm install- Install all NodeJS dependenciestruffle compile- To compile the contracts using Truffle's build int solidity compilertruffle test- To run the tests located in thetest/directory
