Nano-rs

Nano-rs is a pure Rust implementation of the Nano cryptocurrency based on Tokio. It is currently in its very infancy.

This repo serves as a monorepo that contains several crates, including the root nano-rs crate, which is the node implementation itself. There are also several subcrates:

• nanopow-rs is a standalone Proof of Work implementation.
• nano-lib-rs provides types and functions for working with the Nano protocol in Rust.
