Rust-native building blocks for the Cardano blockchain ecosystem

## Introduction Pallas is an expanding collection of modules that re-implements common Ouroboros / Cardano logic in native Rust. This crate doesn't provide any particular application, it is meant to be used as a base layer to facilitate the development of higher-level use-cases, such as explorers, wallets, etc (who knows, maybe even a full node in a far away future). ## Unboxing The repository is organized as a Cargo workspace. Each _Pallas_ "building block" lives in its own crate. The root `pallas` crate serves as an all-in-one dependency that re-exports all of the other modules in an hierarchically organized fashion, using Cargo `features` to tailor the setup for each use-case. ### Core | Crates | Description | | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | [pallas-codec](/pallas-codec) | Shared CBOR encoding / decoding using minicbor lib | | [pallas-crypto](/pallas-crypto) | Shared Cryptographic primitives | | [pallas-math](/pallas-math) | Shared mathematics functions | ### Network | Crates | Description | | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [pallas-network](/pallas-network) | Network stack providing multiplexer and mini-protocol implementations | ### Ledger | Crates | Description | | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | [pallas-primitives](/pallas-primitives) | Ledger primitives and cbor codec for the different Cardano eras | | [pallas-traverse](/pallas-traverse) | Utilities to traverse over multi-era block data | | [pallas-addresses](/pallas-addresses) | Encode / decode Cardano addresses of any type | ### Wallet | Crates | Description | | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | [pallas-wallet](/pallas-wallet) | Wallet utilities for secure key management | | [pallas-txbuilder](/pallas-txbuilder) | Ergonomic transaction builder | ## Interop | Crates | Description | | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [pallas-hardano](/pallas-hardano) | Interoperability with implementation-specific artifacts of the Haskell Cardano node | | [pallas-utxorpc](/pallas-utxorpc) | Interoperability with the [UTxO RPC](https://utxorpc.org) specification | ## Etymology > Pallas: (Greek mythology) goddess of wisdom and useful arts and prudent warfare;
