Spacechain-inspired Open Market for Assets

This is a demo Spacechain. Spacechains can be used for all your wild ideas that need a blockchain, as long as they don't require a native currency (such as a bitcoin). In this demo, we have in our hands a fully-fledged blockchain that does one very boring thing: let's you issue and transfer non-fungible assets, each having a deterministically-generated unique identifier.

And it does that without requiring any shitcoins to be created in the process or spam to be dumped into the Bitcoin chain! All it needs is SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT to be activated on Bitcoin -- luckily it is activated on signet.

There are two ways to run this demo:

  • if you want to get into the internals you can run the magic Docker container that has everything you need prepackaged. Just follow this tutorial.
  • if you are a lazy bum and just want to see something happen, you can use the hosted tools. Follow this tutorial.
