Plugins

With this release we have also begun work on the Plugin API. This is current experimental and undocumented. This API will allow for running of 3rd party code within a running Trinity node to enable a wide range of use cases. We envision some of the following use cases:

• alternate implementations of the transaction pool
• management of paid/reserved slots for light peers
• daemon processes for interacting with on-chain-protocols like Truebit or Ethereum Alarm Clock
• exposing new application specific JSON-RPC APIs (such as augur_listMarkets)
• implementing entirely new protcols (Whisper, Swarm, ???)

More info on Plugins soon. If you are interested in being one of the first to build on this platform, please reach out to Piper.
