A blockchain project aims to implement the features of a blockchain system, such as adding new blocks through a proof of work process, verifying transactions and ensuring the security of the chain through cryptographic hashes, and safeguarding the information stored in the blocks. Additionally, it also aims to include a wallet feature that utilizes Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) to generate private and public keys.

Introducing Hyperion that has a wide range of advanced features including:

✅ Utilizing a proof of work algorithm for adding new blocks.

✅ Nonce generation to make the mining process more difficult and fair.

✅ A visual representation of the blockchain on the server to make the process more transparent.

✅ Create and execute new transactions.

✅ Verifying transactions to ensure security.

✅ Securing the data stored in the blocks through cryptographic hashes.

✅ A built-in wallet system that utilizes Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) for generating private and public keys.

✅ The storage of wallet data is made more secure and efficient through the use of BitCask, which is a high-performance storage engine that utilizes a log-structured hash table to quickly store and retrieve key/value data.

✅ A Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage the wallet and run the blockchain network.
