The bitshares plugins are a collection of tools that brings new functionality without the need of modifications in the consensus and more sensitive areas of the bitshares-core.
The main source of I/O of the bitshares blockchain is the API. Plugins are a more powerful alternative to build more complex developments for when the current API is not enough.
Plugins are optional to run by node operator according to their needs. However, all plugins here will be compiled. There are plans for optional build of plugins at: Issue 533.
The make_new_plugin.sh script can be used to create a skeleton of a new plugin quickly from a template.
