A truly decentralised take on the Beckn protocol, written in Rust.

Rust

On the workbench

  • Identity chainOne per person: their attributes and verifiable credentials, on a Substrate chain they run.
  • Network chainOne per network: the contracts between its participants, with terms, fulfilment and ratings.
  • Willow protocolPlanned for managing the data participants share with each other.
  • dAppsPlanned: apps people run against their own chains, with a React UI.

Build log

  1. 2024 Wrote up the thinking (protocols, decentralisation, identity) and the design of the two chains.

What it taught me

  • A protocol is only as good as the goal it serves; a network has to know what it is for.
