Emotiq blockchain
A blockchain platform built in Common Lisp with a focus on transparency and cross-implementation compatibility.
Overview
Emotiq is a blockchain platform developed primarily in Common Lisp, designed to operate across multiple ANSI Common Lisp implementations. The project emphasizes transparency by conducting development openly in public repositories and aims to provide full functionality regardless of the underlying Lisp implementation.
Key Features
- Cross-Implementation Compatibility — Designed to run on multiple ANSI Common Lisp implementations, with primary development on LispWorks Pro and support for CCL.
- Pair-Based Cryptography — Utilizes PBC (Pairing-Based Cryptography) libraries for cryptographic operations, requiring native C libraries and GNU GMP.
- Comprehensive Testing — Includes both unit tests and system integration tests organized into discrete ASDF systems with a dedicated test harness.
- Dependency Management — Uses Quicklisp with a custom distribution to manage exact versions of dependencies and patch quicklisp packages as needed.
- Continuous Integration — Automated builds and testing via GitLab CI pipelines.
Philosophy
Emotiq is built with a commitment to transparency and open development, ensuring the software remains accessible and functional across different Common Lisp environments while maintaining rigorous testing standards.
