Go Perun¶
go-perun is a Go implementation of the Perun state channel protocols (introduction paper). The perun protocols provide payment and general state channel functionality to all existing blockchains that feature smart contracts. As a blockchain scalability solution, payment and state channels reduce transaction costs and increase the system throughput by executing transactions off-chain. The Perun protocols have been proven cryptographically secure in the UC-framework. They are blockchain-agnostic and only rely on a blockchain’s capability to execute smart contracts.
Developer Tutorial¶
The Tutorial shows how go-perun is used to build a simple scalable payment application on top of the Ethereum blockchain.
