ELEC_ENG/COMP_ENG 334: Fundamentals of Blockchains and Decentralization

Welcome! This is the repository for required projects of the above course.

Project Suggestion

You need to run the project on your machines. We strongly recommend Linux or Mac OS. On Windows, some package referred by the project has bugs, and we recommend Ubuntu subsystem on Windows.

We also strongly recommend you install a proper IDE to make coding in Rust easier. Below are some good choices:

1. IntelliJ Rust. It is free for all .edu email account, specially designed for Rust, and very easy to use.
2. VS Code. It is totally free and very flexible. You need to install an extension for the Rust language support. Extensions for coding on non-local machines (via WSL/SSH) are also available to download.
