avalanche-types 0.0.291

AvalancheGo Compatibility

Introduction

The avalanche-types crate implements and is the canonical representation of Avalanche primitive types in Rust. Avalanche types are separated by modules and are all under the src directory.

This crate also provides an SDK library for developing subnets in Rust. For the SDK functionality, see src/subnet which contains everything required to build a subnet VM in Rust.

The following VMs were built with the SDK:

• Simple Rust VM: TimestampVM
• Complex Rust VM: SpacesVM

Getting Started

Examples can be found in examples and is a good first step to getting an understanding of general usage.

Tutorials

• How to Build a Simple Rust VM tutorial provides a basic example of using the Rust SDK.

Rust Version

avalanche-types currently works on Rust 1.67 and above as it requires support for the 2021 edition. This project uses the stable toolchain.

Features

• Ids (e.g., src/ids)
• Transaction types/serialization (e.g., src/platformvm/txs)
• Certificates (e.g., src/key/cert)
• Keys and addresses (e.g., src/key/secp256k1)
• Peer-to-peer messages (e.g., src/message)
• RPC chain VM (e.g., src/subnet/rpc)
• Genesis generate helper (e.g., src/subnet_evm)
• Protobuf generated stubs and helpers (e.g., src/proto)

The basic types available in this crate are used in other Avalanche Rust projects (e.g., distributed load tester blizzard, avalanche-ops).
