SedimCoin

SedimCoin is a simple blockchain implementation written in JavaScript. It demonstrates core blockchain concepts such as blocks, transactions, mining, and a UTXO-based transaction model. The project is intended for learning and experimentation purposes.

Overview

SedimCoin implements:

• A blockchain data structure
• Block creation and validation
• Transaction handling
• UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) model
• Basic mining logic
• Node/server functionality

This project is for educational use and is not intended for production deployment.

Requirements

• Node.js (v14 or higher recommended)
• npm
