OCamlPro started working on blockchains in 2014, when Arthur Breitman came to us with an initial idea to develop the Tezos ledger. The idea was very challenging with a lot of innovations. So, we collaborated with him to write a specification, and to turn the specification into OCaml code. Since then...
Smart contracts calls already provide a built-in authentication mechanism as transactions (i.e. call operations) are cryptographically signed by the sender of the transaction. This is a guarantee on which programs can rely. However, sometimes you may want more involved or flexible authentication sch...
Ce troisième article consacré à l’amélioration du stockage dans Tezos fait suite à l’annonce de la mise à disposition d’une image docker pour les beta testeurs souhaitant essayer notre système de stockage et garbage collector. Voir Improving Tezos Storage : Gitlab branch for testers...
This article is the third post of a series of posts on improving Tezos storage. In our previous post, we announced the availability of a docker image for beta testers, wanting to test our storage and garbage collector. Today, we are glad to announce that we rebased our code on the latest version of ...
Tezos est aujourd’hui un projet open source, un réseau international développé par des équipes sur plus de cinq continents. Dans la genèse du projet, l’entreprise française OCamlPro, qui développe encore aujourd’hui de nombreux projets liés à Tezos (TZscan, Liquidity, etc.), a joué u...
In a previous post, we presented some work that we did to improve the quantity of storage used by the Tezos node. Our post generated a lot of comments, in which upcoming features such as garbage collection and pruning were introduced. It also motivated us to keep working on this (hot) topic, and we ...
A reflection on the new year… Today, Tezos is a global network and an open source project with developers spanning over five continents. In the inception of this project, the French company OCamlPro which, to this day, stills develops numerous projects around Tezos, played a particularly important...
Running a Tezos node currently costs a lot of disk space, about 59 GB for the context database, the place where the node stores the states corresponding to every block in the blockchain, since the first one. Of course, this is going to decrease once garbage collection is integrated, i.e. removing ve...
Dans cet article technique, nous introduisons brièvement les RPCs dans Tezos à travers un exemple simple montrant comment le client Tezos interagit avec le noeud lors d’une instruction de transfert. Les RPCs de Tezos sont des requêtes HTTP (GET ou POST) auxquelles les noeuds Tezos répondent da...
In this technical blog post, we will briefly introduce Tezos RPCs through a simple example: we will show how the tezos-client program interacts with the tezos-node during a transfer command. Tezos RPCs are HTTP queries (GET or POST) to which tezos-node replies in JSON format. They are the only way f...
