Struct Transaction 

pub struct Transaction {
    pub sender: Vec<u8>,
    pub recipient: Vec<u8>,
    pub amount: f64,
    pub data: Vec<u8>,
    /* private fields */
}

Represents a transaction in a quantum blockchain

Fields

sender: Vec<u8>

Sender’s public key hash

recipient: Vec<u8>

Recipient’s public key hash

amount: f64

Amount to transfer

data: Vec<u8>

Additional data (can be used for smart contracts)

Implementations

impl Transaction

pub fn new( sender: Vec<u8>, recipient: Vec<u8>, amount: f64, data: Vec<u8>, ) -> Self

Creates a new transaction
