manaflow v0.0.1

big and fast UTXO machine with tiny spec

• can be validated in logarithmic parallel time
• very small formal specification compared to bitcoin clones, EVM, and even IELE
• the (logical) structure maintained by the UTXO is a set of non-fungible contiguous regions (splittable but not joinable) and fungible garbage regions (which make a coin-like)
• the only user-specified validation condition is plain (multi)signature
• double-life fee for simple state rent: UTXO expire when they are at least half as old as the chain itself
• dpow - no difficulty/TBT - thin client header chain not throttled. Each block must be at least 1/2 as difficult as last block.
• special case of manaflow which interprets output data as code -- can be log-time validated if local eval context is appropriately limited and global writes go to special reducer
• architecture could be easily adopted for UTXO systems with finite 'standard transaction' types
• • alloced/garbage regions are the only UTXO logic in miniflow
• • • Nevertheless, this is a minimal demonstration of threading consensus-validated state through UTXO

key dependencies

• RLP for serialization
• libp2p for networking
• blake2b for hashing
• secp256k1 for signing (TODO: consider Ed25519)
