Developement

Duniter is currently migrating from Typescript to Rust. This migration is being done gradually via a NodeJs<->Rust binding provided by Neon. The fact of migrating from code to Rust is commonly called "oxidation", so we speak of "Duniter's oxidation".

The long-term goal is to oxidize Duniter entirely, but it is a long process that will take several years.

Duniter's code is divided into several git repositories:

• [dubp-rs-libs] contains the logic common to Duniter and its clients.
• [duniter-core] contains the core code of Duniter.
• The gitlab subgroup [nodes/rust/modules] contains the main Duniter modules code (gva, admin, etc).
• [duniter] repository contains the "official" implementations of the "duniter-cli" and "duniter-desktop" programs with their default modules (also contains the historical implementation being migrated).

Old optional repositories (will be archived when the migration is complete):

• Web admin: web administration interface (optional).
• Currency monit: charts to monitor currency and web of trust state.
• Remuniter: service to remunerate blocks issuers.
