- start using `GET` and query parameters instead of `POST` when
meaningful
- inline parsed protocol data and metadata in block headers
- inline parsed protocol data and metadata in operations
- split the RPC in four categories:
- static data, available explicitly in block headers and operations
- static "metadata", information that were computed while validating
a block or an operation, but which are not explicit in the block
header (e.g. the baker of a block, the list of internal
transfer... (currently not implemented, but that's WIP))
- "context" all the static data we may read in the context
(contracts balance, list of delegates, ...)
- "helpers" are some RPC that may perform some computation.
Tezos
Tezos is a distributed consensus platform with meta-consensus capability. Tezos not only comes to consensus about the state of its ledger, like Bitcoin or Ethereum. It also attempts to come to consensus about how the protocol and the nodes should adapt and upgrade.
- Developer documentation is available online at http://doc.tzalpha.net
- The page https://www.tezos.com/ contains more information about the project, even though it is frozen in time due to external reasons
- All development now happens on Gitlab at https://gitlab.com/tezos/tezos
The Tezos Alpha (test) network has been live and open since February 2017.
- More information on joining the Alphanet at http://doc.tzalpha.net/introduction/alphanet.html
- Several community built block explorers are available:
- A few community run websites collect useful Tezos links:
- There is a matrix channel Tezos that you can join via https://riot.im/app/#/room/#tezos:matrix.org
- There is a #tezos channel on freenode that is reserved for technical discussions
- There is also a community FAQ at https://github.com/tezoscommunity/faq
