Crate tinychain

TinyChain is a distributed state machine with an HTTP + JSON API designed to provide cross-service transactions across an ensemble of microservices which implement the TinyChain protocol. TinyChain itself is also a Turing-complete application platform.

TinyChain currently supports BlockChain, BTree, Table, and Tensor collection types, with more planned for the future.

TinyChain is intended to be used as an executable binary (i.e., with cargo install) via its HTTP API. For usage instructions and more details, visit the repository page at http://github.com/haydnv/tinychain.
