ChainLog

A decentralized, tamper-proof logging and audit system providing immutable public records with cryptographic proof of data existence and integrity.

Development Status: Operates as single-node. Peer-to-peer networking not yet implemented fully.
ChainLog Demo

Core Features

Tamper-Proof Logging

Immutable records with cryptographic proof that data existed at a certain time and hasn't been modified since.

Decentralized Network

Distributed trust across multiple nodes with P2P networking for enhanced security and resilience.

LogCoin Economy

Utility token system for mining rewards, transaction fees, and staking-based validation.

Core Concepts

Blockchain Basics

Blocks, mining, nodes, and consensus mechanisms that form the foundation of ChainLog.

Data Storage

Store any information with timestamps, immutability, and transparency for all participants.

Security

SHA-256 hashing, ECDSA digital signatures, and Proof-of-Work consensus for maximum security.

Wallet & Identity

Public/private key pairs, addresses, and digital signatures for user identification and verification.

Mining

Proof-of-Work implementation with difficulty adjustment and mining rewards.

Quick Start

Some basic commands to try out:

Note: Replace chainlog-cli with the binary for your platform: - On Linux/macOS: ./chainlog-cli - On Windows PowerShell: .\chainlog-cli.exe # 1. Create a wallet chainlog-cli wallet create # 2. Start a node (should be done in a separate terminal so you can run other commands) chainlog-cli start 8080 # 3. Create and broadcast a transaction chainlog-cli transaction create "My first log entry" 2 chainlog-cli transaction broadcast <tx_id> # 4. Mine the block chainlog-cli mine # 5. Explore all available commands chainlog-cli help

Note: Peer-to-peer networking is currently under development. The current version operates as a single-node system with all core blockchain functionalities fully operational. However, it is not yet ready for real-world use until networking is implemented. Also although users can become validators by staking Logcoins, the actual network-wide validation of other users’ blocks is not yet implemented.....

LogCoin Economy

ChainLog uses LogCoins as a utility token to secure the network and incentivize participation:

Mining Rewards

Miners earn 10 LogCoins for each valid block mined, compensating for computational work.

Transaction Fees

Users pay 1-5 LogCoins to store data on-chain, preventing network spam and abuse.

Staking System

Stake 100+ LogCoins to become a validator and participate in consensus.

Economic Model: Initial supply of 1,000,000 LogCoins with a maximum cap of 21,000,000. Block rewards halve every 100,000 blocks. Transaction fees are partially burned (20%) to create deflationary pressure.
