🦀🚀 Blockchain Infrastructure

Simple, educational blockchain implementation in Rust

🔗💡 Learn the basics of blockchain and P2P networking!

---

✨ Features

• ⚡️ Peer-to-peer networking
• ⛓️ Simple blockchain logic
• 🏗️ Block creation (mining)
• 📡 Block broadcasting
• 🦀 Written in Rust

---

🚀 Getting Started

RUST_LOG=info cargo run

This starts a local blockchain client.
Note: The blockchain is not persisted (in-memory only).

You can open multiple terminals to run several connected P2P clients.

💻 Commands

Command	Description
ls p	👥 List connected peers
ls c	📜 Print the local blockchain
create b $data	⛏️ Mine a new block with $data and broadcast

---

🔄 How It Works

• When a block is created, it is broadcast to all peers. 📨
• Each node updates its blockchain if the new block is valid. 🔄
• On startup, a node requests the blockchain from peers and adopts the longest valid chain. 🏆
