A Stacks block simulator and visualization tool, with educational purposes
The code is still in a experimental state. As soon as the domain is more clear, a lot of moving and renaming will start happening.
The Stacks blockchain is about to undergo a series of transformative changes that will take its integration into the Bitcoin chain one step further. Those changes, collectively known as the Stacks Nakamoto Release, together with sBTC, will bring Stacks' smart contracts the ability to write to the Bitcoin blockchain, combined with the already present capacity to read from it.
The Stacks Nakamoto release proposes changes to Stacks' consensus algorithm, significantly affecting its security model. Those changes are sometimes challenging to understand. Because of that, the Stacks community is building an interactive tool to help educate its community members and others on how the new consensus algorithm will work. We're calling this tool the Stacks Nakamoto Simulator, and you're looking at it's official repository.
You can find some design references for the project in the following Figma files:
Notice that the implementation will differ in many places.
This project is part of the Stacks Foundation grant program. Documentation and other relevant information can be found on this page: Stacks Nakamoto Block Simulator Gitbook. The source code for this documentation also live on this repository, in the /docs folder.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App. You can learn more about it in the Create React App documentation.
In the project directory, you can run:
npm startRuns the app in the development mode.\ Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.\ You will also see any lint errors in the console.
npm testLaunches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.\ See the section about running tests for more information.
npm run buildBuilds the app for production to the build folder.\
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.\ Your app is ready to be deployed!
