Blockchain smart-contracts in human language

Sawroom integrates the Zenroom VM to be used as a transaction processor in the Sawtooth blockchain distributed by the Linux Foundation's Hyperledger consortium.

The goal is facilitate the creation of transaction families based on Zenroom and the Zencode human-friendly language for smart-contracts, in particolar to bind the blockchain to the free online service ApiRoom that makes it very easy to create an online API tied to any database and the Sawroom blockchain.

Quick start

To try the Sawroom setup with a running Sawtooth is best to use Docker.

Our scripts will facilitate the use with some special options that will setup a persistent storage on the disk of your host machine inside the /usr/lib/sawroom directory. All data is saved there and nowhere else!

To prepare the setup do:

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/sawroom
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -u) /var/lib/sawroom

Then pull the Sawroom docker image ready to run a testnet node

docker pull dyne/sawroom:testnet

Then create the new keys for this instance:

./run keys-create

One here should note down the output and communicate these keys to enable the peering between nodes.

Sawroom is running inside a Tor network and the nodes will find each other automatically and tunneling through Tor!

To fire up the node use the script ./run without arguments.

To enter the running node open another terminal and use the script ./shell inside sawroom.

That's all for now! more will follow...
