This implementation includes:
Blockstruct: represents a single block in the blockchain.Blockchainstruct: manages the chain of blocks and pending transactions.add_blockmethod: creates a new block and adds it to the chain.calculate_hashmethod: calculates the hash for a block.add_transactionmethod: adds a transaction to the pending transactions.mine_blockmethod: creates a new block from pending transactions.
Run the code using cargo run to see the blockchain in action!
Keep in mind that this is a highly simplified example. Real-world blockchains require additional features like:
- Consensus algorithms (e.g., Proof of Work, Proof of Stake)
- Network communication
- Cryptographic signatures
- Transaction validation
- Security measures
Note: This is a basic example for educational purposes only. Real-world blockchains require additional features, security measures, and testing.
