Features

• Basic blockchain implementation in Go.
• Persistence using MongoDB for data storage.
• Mining rewards for adding new blocks.
• On-chain governance system for proposing and voting on changes.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• Go (Golang) installed on your system.
• MongoDB installed and running (or provide MongoDB connection details in the configuration).

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/SatarYaghoubi/GoBlockchain.git
   cd GoBlockchain
   nano the main.go
   configure the database
   and use you own secretkey
   go run main.go
   
   

Blockchain Usage Guide

Once the application is running, you can use it to explore and interact with the blockchain. Here are some common tasks:

• View Blockchain: Access the blockchain data at http://localhost:8080/blocks.

• Add a Block: Add a new block to the blockchain by making a POST request to http://localhost:8080/addBlock with the appropriate JSON payload.

• Create a Governance Proposal: Propose changes to the blockchain using the /propose endpoint.

• Vote on a Proposal: Cast your vote on a proposal using the /vote endpoint.

Please refer to the API Endpoints section for more details on the available endpoints and request/response formats.

API Endpoints

• GET /blocks: Retrieve the current blockchain.

• POST /addBlock: Add a new block to the blockchain.

• POST /propose: Create a new governance proposal.

• POST /vote: Cast your vote on a governance proposal.

Detailed information about each endpoint and the expected request/response formats can be found in the API documentation.

Blockchain Governance

This blockchain application includes a basic on-chain governance system. Users can propose changes and vote on them. Please note that this governance system is simplified and may require further development for real-world use cases.
